Journal: Sofosbuvir use for yellow fever: a new perspective treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 26, 2020 Since 2016, Brazil has experienced two outbreaks, and collective health measures have been adopted to contain these grievances. However, published data about the drug sofosbuvir against flaviviruses are promising, suggesting the relevance of conducting future clinical trials.

Journal: Interpreting Viral Deep Sequencing Data with GLUE. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 22, 2020 In three further cases, it confirmed that the sofosbuvir-resistant NS5B substitution S282T was absent. This suggests the direct read translation approach implemented is of value for interpreting viral deep sequencing data.

Journal: Polymorphism in IFNL3/IL28B gene and risk to non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis C genotype 3 virus infection and its effect on the response to combined daclatasvir and sofosbuvir therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 20, 2020 Our data revealed that the TT (minor) genotype of IFNL3 (rs12979860) and GG (minor) genotype of IFNL3 (rs8099917) exhibited significant association with chronic HCV genotype 3 infection when compared with controls. The results of treatment response showed that CC (major) genotype of IFNL3 (rs12979860) and TT (major) genotype of IFNL3 (rs8099917) are associated with likelihood of achieving a higher sustained virological response (SVR), to combined daclatasvir and sofosbuvir therapy, in genotype 3 infected HCV patients, whereas the individuals with TT (minor) genotype of IFNL3 (rs12979860) and GG (minor) genotype of IFNL3 (rs8099917) are more susceptible to chronic HCV infection and treatment relapse, suggesting a role of IFNL3 (rs12979860) and (rs8099917) in the treatment outcome of combined daclatasvir and sofosbuvir therapy in chronic HCV genotype 3 infection.

This also includes patients infected with GT3 subtypes such as GT3b where multiple DAA-resistant substitutions occur naturally. Unless new drugs with non-overlapping drug-resistant profiles are discovered, perhaps a pegIFN-based therapy may be beneficial in select patient populations with high-level multiple DAA-resistant substitutions.

[VIRTUAL] CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C TREATED UNDER A NEW STANDARD OF CARE () - Mar 8, 2020 - Abstract #ISPOR2020ISPOR_1931; OBJECTIVES : The approval of sofosbuvir in December 2013 and subsequent introduction of other direct-acting antivirals changed the paradigm for treating Hepatitis C (HCV), but posed a challenge to payers seeking to anticipate characteristics of patients receiving treatment and their risk of outcomes...CONCLUSIONS : Drug innovations can significantly shift the characteristics of patient populations receiving treatment, due to both clinical and access-related factors. In cases where these factors can be measured, it may be possible to restrict the population on a prior SoC to more closely resemble that on the new SoC, thus leveraging historical RWE to represent a new SoC in forward-looking decisions.

Preclinical, Journal: Developing animal models of Zika virus infection for novel drug discovery. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 5, 2020 One promising example is Sofosbuvir, which protected mice models against Zika pathogenesis by preventing vertical transmission. Importantly, there is a lack on exploration on the long-term effects of Zika Congenital Syndrome, as well as the possible ways to treat its sequelae.

[VIRTUAL] IMPACT OF HCV CLEARANCE ON NK CELLS AND HIV TRANSCRIPTION IN COINFECTED SUBJECTS ([VIRTUAL]) - Mar 2, 2020 - Abstract #CROI2020CROI_922; Downregulation of NK cell activation was observed immediately after HCV clearance although some markers rebounded one year later, in concomitance with increased transcriptional activity of HIV reservoir. This may be reflecting the priming of NK cells by the residual HIV transcription and might point out a role for NK cells in shaping HIV persistence.

While this may not have different implications for virologic cures, there may be persistent effects on liver disease progression in HIV/HCV co-infection.

Journal: Activity of Selected Nucleoside Analogue ProTides against Zika Virus in Human Neural Stem Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 22, 2020 The aryloxyl phosphoramidate ProTide of 2'-C-methyluridine outperformed the hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug sofosbuvir in suppression of viral titers and protection from cytopathic effect, while the former compound's triphosphate active metabolite was better incorporated by purified ZIKV NS5 polymerase over time. These findings suggest both a nucleobase and ProTide group bias for the anti-ZIKV activity of nucleoside analogue ProTides in a disease-relevant cell model.

Simplification of HCV models of care and DAA affordability are key determinants for countries to launch elimination programs.

This high prevalence of hypothyroidism in HCV patients post-treatment highlights the need of regular periodic screening of patients during the treatment.

Clinical, Journal: Effect of direct-acting antivirals on corrected QT interval and cardiac functions in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 8, 2020 The current national protocol of HCV infection treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents used in Egyptian patients has a good cardiac safety profile. Such treatments have no effect on QTc interval, left and right ventricular functions except for a decrease in RV GLS in those with no liver cirrhosis and a reduction in lateral mitral E' velocity in those with liver cirrhosis both remained within the normal reference range.
