[VIRTUAL] Management of DAA Failures in Asia () - Aug 19, 2021 - Abstract #APDW2021APDW_385; Trial completion date: Jun 2021 --> Nov 2021 The Taiwan HCV Registry (TACR) programme recently reported that the factors associated with DAA failure was DAA adherence 90% of patients with prior DAA failures can be successfully re-treated with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir or glecaprevir/pibrentasvir if genotype, fibrosis, treatment history and RAS are taken into consideration.

Review, Journal: Virological Factors Associated with Failure to the Latest Generation of Direct Acting Agents (DAA) and Re-Treatment Strategy: A Narrative Review. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 14, 2021 Although rare, the failure to the latest-generation regimens (grazoprevir/elbasvir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, pibrentasvir/glecaprevir) represents a serious clinical problem, since the data available in the literature on the virological characteristics and management of these patients are few. The aim of the present narrative review was to provide an overview of the impact of baseline RASs in patients treated with the latest-generation DAAs and to analyze the efficacy of the available retreatment strategies in those who have failed these regimens.

Clinical, Journal, Real-world evidence: A real-world study of sofosbuvir-based drug treatment for hepatitis C virus genotype 6 infection in Hainan region of China (Pubmed Central) - Aug 11, 2021 There were seven cases of adverse events, mainly including fatigue, anorexia, and mild anemia; however, no serious adverse events were reported. Sofosbuvir-based regimen combined with ribavirin or velpatasvir cannot only achieve high response rate to HCV subtype 6a, but also obtain a good sustained virological response to the rare prevalent sub-genotypes and special virus strains of HCV genotype 6, with mild adverse reactions and acceptable safety profile.

Clinical, Journal: High Rates of Hidden HCV Infections among Hospitalized Patients Aged 55-85. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2021 The overall rate of active infection was lower than the rate observed in the 1935-1954 cohort. The high rate of inpatients unaware of HCV infections and the high number of deaths among subjects with an active HCV infection born from 1935 to 1954, suggest that, at least in southern Italy, targeted screening of this birth cohort may be required to reduce the number of undiagnosed cases and hidden infections.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2021 In addition, the method was successfully applied for determination of velpatasvir in spiked human plasma with adequate % recovery. The performance of DAAs in PWUD is excellent, if 2 conditions are met: (i) that the latest generation drugs are used and (ii) that the patients are managed within the SerDs.

Clinical, Observational data, Journal: Comparing direct acting antivirals for hepatitis C using observational data - Why and how? (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2021 This risk difference is evidence that SOF/LDV is not inferior to SOF/VEL for easy to treat patients with genotype 1 HCV. The approach is a template for comparing drugs when there are no data from comparative trials.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR, Real-world evidence: Global real-world evidence of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir as simple, effective HCV treatment: analysis of 5552 patients from 12 cohorts. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 A reasonable reduction in the price of DAAs will increase drug affordability and is of great significance as a global strategy to eradicate viral hepatitis. In this large cohort, representative of clinical practice, a simple 12-week regimen of SOF/VEL without ribavirin resulted in high SVR12/24 rates in diverse patient populations, even among those with compensated cirrhosis.
