[VIRTUAL] Improving female street sex worker (FSSW) access to hepatitis C testing and treatment (Poster Area) - May 30, 2020 - Abstract #EASLILCI2020EASL-ILC-I-731; FSSWs have a very high prevalence of HCV PCR positivity but are willing to be treated for HCV if this service is provided outside of a healthcare centre and does not involve venepuncture. Following up this group post treatment to ensure cure and reduce risks of reinfection is also likely to be a challenging despite ongoing support and education in the charity sector.

[VIRTUAL] Direct Acting Anti-Viral Prophylaxis to Prevent Virus Transmission from Hepatitis C Viremic Donors to Hepatitis C Negative Kideney Transplant Recipients (Main Channel) - May 29, 2020 - Abstract #ATC2020ATC_177; We recently reported that an ultra-short duration (2-4 days peri-operative) DAA prophylaxis using pangenotypic sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in D+/R- KT was able to prevent HCV transmission in a majority (88%) but not all, KT...All pts received standard of care induction rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin followed by triple immunosuppression with tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone... Our data suggests that 7-day DAA prophylaxis is effective in preventing donor-derived HCV transmission and could result in significant cost-savings and increase access to these transplants all over the world.

(Pubmed Central) - May 19, 2020 However, they are contraindicated in patients with decompensated cirrhosis or advanced chronic kidney disease who failed previous DDA-based treatment. Further research is required to customize treatment, to "unpackage" current DAA combinations and to develop generic drugs against HCV.

Clinical, P3 data, Journal: Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir for treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in Asia: a single-arm, open-label, phase 3 trial. (Pubmed Central) - May 7, 2020 P3 Real world studies are needed to assess clinical relevance of this interaction and describe actual spectrum of possible DDI between DAAs and other DOACs. Consistent with data from other phase 3 studies, single-tablet sofosbuvir-velpatasvir for 12 weeks is an efficacious and safe treatment for Asian patients with chronic HCV infection, but might have lower efficacy in those infected with HCV genotype 3b and with cirrhosis.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 30, 2020 The triple combination of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir for 12 weeks is the first-line retreatment strategy in patients previously exposed to DAAs. Difficult-to-retreat patients may benefit from the combination of sofosbuvir plus glecaprevir/pibrentasvir and/or the addition of ribavirin and/or longer retreatment duration.

For genotype 3 patients, prior treatment-experience and advanced liver disease were significant predictors of reduced odds of SVR regardless of regimen.
