As the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has evolved to directly acting antiviral agents, the impact of these directly acting antiviral-only regimens on improving adherence to HCV treatment in HIV/HCV coinfected populations has not been evaluated. The study compared adherence to ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) in HCV monoinfected and HIV/HCV coinfected individuals. Adherence was measured from participants in two phase 2 open-label studies (NCT01805882 and NCT01878799). HCV treatment-naive, genotype 1 study individuals [HCV monoinfected participants (N = 20) and HIV/HCV coinfected participants, antiretroviral untreated (N = 13) or on combination antiretroviral therapy (N = 37)] were treated with LDV (90 mg) and SOF (400 mg) administered as one tablet once daily for 12 weeks. Adherence was measured using three tools: medication event monitoring system cap, pill count, and patient report. Participants were predominately African American (83%) and male (73%), with a median age of 59 years. Participants had prompt HCV viral load decline and high adherence rates (97 ± 0.5% by medication event monitoring system). Participant adherence decreased significantly from early (baseline week 4) as compared with late (weeks 8–12) in therapy in all three groups - HCV monoinfected (P = 0.01), HIV/HCV antiretroviral untreated (P = 0.02), and HIV/HCV antiretroviral treated participants (P = 0.01). Adherence to LDV/SOF in this urban population was high and comparable between HCV monoinfected and HIV/HCV coinfected participants regardless of antiretroviral use.
