Overview
11 DESCRIPTION VOSEVI is a fixed-dose combination tablet containing sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir for oral administration. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor, velpatasvir is an NS5A inhibitor, and voxilaprevir is an NS3/4A protease inhibitor. Each tablet contains 400 mg sofosbuvir, 100 mg velpatasvir, and 100 mg of voxilaprevir.
Mechanism of Action
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action VOSEVI is a fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir which are DAA agents against the hepatitis C virus [see Microbiology (12.4) ]. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of sofosbuvir 400 mg (recommended dosage) and 1200 mg (3 times the recommended dosage) on QTc interval was evaluated in an active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg) thorough QT trial. At a dose 3 times the recommended dose, sofosbuvir does not prolong QTc to any clinically relevant extent. The effect of velpatasvir 500 mg (5 times the recommended dosage) was evaluated in an active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg) thorough QT trial.

Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Testing: Prior to initiating VOSEVI, test all patients for HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti-HBc. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: One tablet (400 mg of sofosbuvir, 100 mg of velpatasvir, and 100 mg of voxilaprevir) taken orally once daily with food.

Black Box Warning
WARNING: RISK OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS REACTIVATION IN PATIENTS COINFECTED WITH HCV AND HBV Test all patients for evidence of current or prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection before initiating treatment with VOSEVI. HBV reactivation has been reported in HCV/HBV coinfected patients who were undergoing or had completed treatment with HCV direct-acting antivirals (DAA) and were not receiving HBV antiviral therapy. Some cases have resulted in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death.
