Abstract Purpose Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is an oral combination therapy containing fixed doses of direct-acting antiviral agents indicated for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Currently there are limited data on the clinical efficacy of crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir administered via feeding tube. Summary This case report discusses the successful treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1b infection with crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir administered through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection and high-grade sarcoma who had severe swallowing difficulties. The patient received crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir daily for a total of 12 weeks. At 12 weeks the patient had achieved a sustained virologic response. Conclusion Currently, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is available only as a tablet, with limited pharmacokinetic data available to guide clinicians on use of the fixed-dose combination medication in crushed form. This case report highlights our experience treating a patient with HCV/HIV coinfection through administration of crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir via PEG tube, which we found to be a safe and effective therapeutic option.

Insufficient Number

In Idenix Pharms. LLC v. Gilead Sci. Inc., 941 F.3d 1149 (Fed. Cir. 2019), the Federal Circuit affirmed a judgment of invalidity of a patent claiming methods for treating Hepatitis C virus for, inter alia, lack of enablement. The Supreme Court denied Idenix’s petition for a writ of certiorari, meaning that the Federal Circuit decision stands, and genus claims covering thousands of compounds that were supported by an insufficient number of examples have failed the enablement test not once, but twice. See Wyeth & Cordis Corp. v. Abbott Labs., 720 F.3d 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2013). This case report presents the context surrounding the Federal Circuit’s Idenix decision and the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the case.
