[VIRTUAL] HIV COINFECTION AND RISK OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN HCV PATIENTS TREATED BY DAA ([VIRTUAL]) - Mar 2, 2020 - Abstract #CROI2020CROI_913; After adjustment, HIV co-infection was not associated with a higher risk of liver-related events (HR=0.67 95%CI: 0.27 ; 1.67) or liver-related-mortality (HR=0.94 95%CI: 0.19 ; 4.67), but the risk of non-liver-related mortality (HR=2.67 95%CI: 0.97 ; 7.37) tended to be higher in HIV/HCV co-infected. After DAA treatment, SVR rates were not impacted by HIV co-infection, the risk of liver-related events and liver-related mortality were similar between HIV/HCV co-infected and HCV mono-infected but HIV co-infection tended to increase the risk of non-liver-related mortality.

At the time of DAA initiation, all had estimated glomerular filtration rate 30 ml/min/1.73m2, and combination antiretroviral therapy included regimens containing TAF in 27.3% of the patients, TDF 32.2%, non-TDF/TAF 40.5%, NNRTI 29.9%, PI 3.4%, and InSTI 68.6% (dolutegravir 55.8%, elvitegravir 39.8%, and raltegravir 4.4%), with 95.5% of the patients having CD4 counts 200 cells/mm3 and 96.6% plasma HIV RNA load <50 copies/mL...Overall, 98.3% achieved undetectable plasma HCV RNA load (<15 IU/mL) at EOT and 96.6% achieved SVR12 (97.2% in patients receiving SOF/LED, 96.0% in GP, and 100% in SOF/VEL). Similar to the observation in HIV-negative patients, SVR12 with DAAs is high in HIV-positive patients with HCV-6.

[VIRTUAL] EFFECTIVENESS OF LDV/SOF FOR HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS WITH HCV GENOTYPE 2 INFECTION ([VIRTUAL]) - Mar 2, 2020 - Abstract #CROI2020CROI_908; At the time of LDV/SOF initiation, all had estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30 ml/min/1.73m2 and were receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) with TAF-containing regimen in 38.6%, TDF 13.9%, non-TDF/TAF 47.5%, NNRTI 12.9%, PI 14.9%, and InSTI 72.3% (dolutegravir 46.6% and elvitegravir 53.4%%), with 98.0% having CD4 counts 200 cells/mm3 and 94.1% HIV RNA load <50 cp/mL...eGFR increased in 34.1% with a mean increase of 7.2 ml/min/1.73m2, while eGFR decreased in 65.9% with a mean decrease of 12.6 ml/min/1.73m2. Similar to the reported treatment response among HIV-negative patients, LDV/SOF is effective for HIV-positive patients infected with HCV-2.

[VIRTUAL] RESISTANCE-ASSOCIATED SUBSTITUTIONS (RAS) IN “UNUSUAL” HCV SUBTYPES ([VIRTUAL]) - Mar 2, 2020 - Abstract #CROI2020CROI_895; Patients failed; SOF/DCV(n= 14), SOF/VEL +/- RBV(n=13), and EBR/GZR(n=10), SOF/LDV +/- RBV(n=10), G/P(n=5) or other regimens(n=2)...In-depth characterization of these subtypes is crucial, in Africa and Asia where these subtypes are common as well as in countries of immigration from these regions. Our results emphasize the need for identification of RAS in these subtypes and their in vitro drug susceptibilities.

[VIRTUAL] PLASMA & INTRACELLULAR PK AND RENAL SAFETY OF TAF 25MG WITH BOOSTED PI AND LDV/SOF ([VIRTUAL]) - Mar 2, 2020 - Abstract #CROI2020CROI_496; Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) is a recommended therapy for Hepatitis C virus (HCV)...Ten participants (1 black female; 9 males [5 Hispanic, 4 white]) were enrolled; 9 were on darunavir (5 RTV, 4 COBI) and 1 on atazanavir/RTV...Unlike prior findings with TDF, adding LDV/SOF with TAF did not significantly increase plasma TFV or TFV-DP in PBMC. This is likely due to differences in hydrolysis pathways between TDF and TAF, and reassures on the safety of TAF + b/PI + LDV/SOF in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients.

(Pubmed Central) - Feb 14, 2020 Hence, more specialized echocardiographic evaluations are recommended for whom with history of cardiac abnormalities, cardiac iron overload, and in case of any cardiac adverse event during DAA therapy in thalassemia patients. Pharmacological inhibition of HCV improves peripheral (but not hepatic) insulin sensitivity in non-diabetic, lean individuals with chronic hepatitis C without significant fibrosis.

Treatment of Hepatitis C Has Time-Dependent Relationship with Type 2 Diabetes Progress (ENDOExpo) - Feb 7, 2020 - Abstract #ENDO2020ENDO_2670; Prior to HCV treatment patient DM control was treated with oral medications (metformin and glipizide) with fast glucose level fluctuating 143±44 mg/dl; 2 hours postprandial level 205±57mg/dl; HbA1c 7.0%...Oral DM medications were doubled dosages and maximum dosage of pioglitazone was added on...Discussion Based on our observation there are four phases of DM development related to the HCV treatment: phase I silence stage (during 3 month HCV treatment) DM is stable; phase II deterioration stage (First 3 month after HCV treatment) DM is progressively getting worse; phase III recovery stage (4 to 6 month after HCV treatment) DM is gradually improving; phase IV stabilization stage (6 month after HCV treatment) DM is stabilized and improved. Conclusion Anti-viral treatment of HCV has possible intrinsic time-dependent relationship with DM development.

Journal: Progress of antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus-related decompensated cirrhosis (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2020 Furthermore, approximately 15.5% ~ 49% of patients waiting for liver transplantation after treatment with DAAs do not require liver transplantation for short-term and 10.3% ~19.2% of patients receiving SOF/LDV, and SOF combined with DCV not needed liver transplantation. Thus, the clinical application of DAAs provides a safe and reliable antiviral treatment plan for hepatitis C virus-related decompensated stage cirrhosis.

LDV/SOF combination has been very effective to treat GT1 and GT4 infected patients, however, has constituted a suboptimal therapeutic option for those patients infected with GT3, regardless of the rest of the variables analyzed.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir was associated with favorable response among genotype 1 and 4 patients compared to other regimens (p < 0.001 and p = 0.05)...Patients with genotype 4 had lower SVR rates than other genotypes (58% vs. 89%, p < 0.001), particularly among East Africans (40% vs. 82% for other ethnicities). Our SVR rate for genotype 4 infection is lower than clinical trials and may be related to cultural, biologic and socioeconomic factors.
