Clinical, Journal, Real-World Evidence: Direct-Acting Antivirals for Hepatitis C: Predictors of Early Discontinuation in the Real World. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 6, 2019 These real-world data confirm low rates of early discontinuation in users of second-generation DAAs. Future research focusing on socio-economic and sex/gender issues may help further optimize care for patients with HCV.

Clinical, Journal: Direct antiviral agents upregulate natural killer cell potential activity in chronic hepatitis C patients. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2019 Thirteen CHC patients were treated with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir, and the expression levels of NKp46 and NKG2A were tested via flow cytometry at baseline, at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks during the therapy and 12 and 24 weeks after the end of treatment; expression levels were compared between CHC patients and 13 healthy controls...The function of NK cells is normalized to levels in healthy controls. CD56 NK cells play an important role in this process.

Changes in fibrosis and MELD scores in HCV positive cirrhosis after direct-acting antiviral therapy (P8) - Nov 24, 2019 - Abstract #APDW2019APDW_436; Fifteen patients received sofosbuvir(SOF)/ledipasvir(LDV), 9 patients received SOF/LDV plus ribavirin (RBV), 7 patients received paritaprevir/ritonavir, ombitasvir plus dasabuvir (PrOD), 2 patiens received PrOD plus RBV and 2 patiens received SOF plus RBV therapy. DAAs can provide regression of fibrosis and MELD scores and noninvasive methods are useful for monitoring fibrosis in patients with HCV positive cirrhosis.

Importantly, treatment of HCV-infection improve outcome of co-morbidities and general health.

Moreover, significant adjusted RORs for hypoacusis regarded clarithromycin (3.95, 1.86-8.40), azithromycin (10.23, 5.03-20.79), vancomycin (6.72, 2.14-21.11), methotrexate (3.13, 1.00-9.81), pemetrexed (4.38, 1.40-13.76), vincristine (5.93, 1.88-18.70), vinorelbine (21.60, 8.83-52.82), paclitaxel (2.34, 1.03-5.30), rituximab (3.20, 1.19-8.63), interferon alfa-2b (17.44, 8.56-35.53), thalidomide (16.92, 6.92-41.38), and deferasirox (41.06, 20.07-84.01)...Hypoacusis after the use of vinorelbine, methotrexate, and pemetrexed is unexpected, such as tinnitus related with etoposide, nebivolol, betamethasone, abatacept, sofosbuvir/ledipasvir, and tapentadol, but these considerations require further investigation to better define the risk due to the paucity of data. Moreover, physicians should be aware of the clinical significance of ototoxicity and be conscious about the importance of their contribution to spontaneous reporting.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Direct-acting antivirals for children and adolescents with chronic hepatitis C. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2019 If and when DAAs are approved for younger age cohorts, all children older than 3 years infected with hepatitis C will benefit from antiviral therapy. In this Review, we aim to provide an up-to-date overview of the existing evidence on the paediatric use of DAAs, summarising indications to treatment and recommendations for monitoring.

Clinical, Journal: Findings from a large asian chronic hepatitis c real life study. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 11, 2019 In conclusion, patients with GT1 and 3 with/without cirrhosis had surprisingly high efficacy using SR, suggesting that Asians may respond better to some DAAs. However, poor GT6 response to SL suggests this regimen is suboptimal for this genotype.

Review, Journal: Review article: novel antivirals for hepatitis C-sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 10, 2019 The potential drug-drug interactions between these concomitant medications and DAA regimens differed, with the fewest potential interactions with sofosbuvir-based regimens. The addition of SOF/VEL/VOX and G/P to existing hepatitis C treatment options will expand the number of patients who are eligible for and responsive to treatment, thus increasing the possibility of eliminating hepatitis C as a public health issue.

Journal: State of viral hepatitis care in 16 countries of Central and Eastern European Region. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 10, 2019 Despite the availability of registered modern drugs for HCV and HBV, the access to treatment is limited. Ensuring quality health care is essential to reduce the epidemic and achieve the WHO's goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a major public health challenge.

Journal: Differential timing of cholesterol increase during successful HCV therapy: impact of type of drug combination. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2019 Ensuring quality health care is essential to reduce the epidemic and achieve the WHO's goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a major public health challenge. Our study suggests that the differential timing of the restoration of cholesterol metabolism in HIV/HCV genotype 1 co-infected patients achieving SVR is not mediated by HCV clearance but depends on the drug combination employed.

Review, Journal: Drug-Drug Interaction Profile of the Fixed-Dose Combination Tablet Regimen Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2019 As a perpetrator of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions via P-glycoprotein/BCRP, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir should not be used with rosuvastatin and elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, whereas its co-administration with amiodarone is not recommended because of a pharmacodynamic interaction. This review summarizes a number of drug interaction studies conducted in support of the clinical development of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir.

ALTERED microRNA EXPRESSION PROFILES IN SERUM EXOSOME LINKS TO CLINICAL PHENOTYPES INDUCED BY DIRECT-ACTING ANTIVIRAL THERAPY (Hynes Convention Center, Hall B) - Sep 29, 2019 - Abstract #AASLD2019AASLD_2940; In a pilot study, we employed qPCR arrays using with specific primers of 792 miRNAs t o analyze change in the profiles of exosomal miRNA in serum of the five paired samples before and after daclatasvir and asunaprevir combination therapy...This tendency was also observed in patients treated with the ledipasvir/sofosbuvir... The current findings indicate the changes in serum exosomal miRNA of SVR pts might account for the clinical phenotypes and would contribute to early detection of the adverse events in SVR pts.
