About this trial
This is a Phase I/II, multi-site, open-label, single arm study to describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) initiated during pregnancy in women with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (acute or chronic) with or without HIV and to evaluate safety for their infants through 10 weeks postpartum.
