Current Primary Outcome Measures - To determine if the administration of a combination of GS 7977 and ribavirin to HCV-infected subjects with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) meeting the MILAN criteria prior to undergoing liver transplantation for up to 24 weeks can prevent post-transplant re-infection as determined by a sustained post-transplant virological response (HCV RNA  10e4 IU/mL at Screening
Patients meeting the MILAN criteria undergoing liver transplant for HCC secondary to HCV with a MELD of  10 mg/day) in the Pre-transplant treatment period.
History of previous solid organ transplantation
