Journal: The effectiveness and safety of direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C virus treatment: A single-center experience in Saudi Arabia. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 18, 2022 All patients with HCV treated with either ledipasvir plus sofosbuvir (LDS/SOF) ± ribavarin (RBV) or ombitasvir-paritaprevir-ritonavir (OBV/PTV/r) ± dasabuvir (DSV) ± RBV were included...Medications were well tolerated with minimal side effects, including vomiting, nausea, and weakness. DAAs regimens are associated with high rates of SVR12 and are well tolerated with a good safety profile in Saudi HCV-infected patients.

ACTIVE DRUG USE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH TREATMENT FAILURE AMONG PWID PATIENTS WITH VARIABLE ADHERENCE TO HCV TREATMENT () - Oct 23, 2022 - Abstract #AASLD2022AASLD_822; Information collected included HCV genotype, treatment regimen, use of opiate substitution therapy (OST; i.e. buprenorphine/naltrexone, methadone), active drug use (patient-reported or positive urine toxicology), adherence and SVR...The most commonly prescribed DAA regimens were: sofosbuvir-velpatasvir (N=33), sofosbuvir-ledipasvir (13 patients; 9 for 12 weeks and 4 for 8 weeks), glecaprevir-pibrentasvir for 8 weeks (N=39), elbasvir-grazoprevir (N=8) and other (N=18)... Among PWID patients who have variable adherence to HCV therapy, active drug use and prescription opioid use during treatment were not associated with treatment failure.

Flexibility in treating strategies and maximising opportunities for engagement are key to successful outcomes.

RETREATMENT AND RESISTANCE-ASSOCIATED SUBSTITUTIONS IN HEPATITIS C PATIENTS WHO FAILED DIRECT-ACTING ANTIVIRAL THERAPY IN KOREA () - Oct 23, 2022 - Abstract #AASLD2022AASLD_763; Retreatment of patients with DAA failure is highly successful although the retreatment rate is not satisfactory probably due to limited access to effective DAA in Korea. Further studies for more patients with DAA failure are warranted to clarify the outcome of retreatment in association with RAS.

Retrospective data, Journal: Distribution of chronic hepatitis C genotype and evaluation of clinical factors affecting direct-acting antiviral treatment responses in the Western Black Sea Region, Turkey. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 21, 2022 A high rate of SVR-24 was achieved by DAAs in CHC patients, most of whom were genotype 1 in the Western Black Sea Region, Turkey. Also, high viral load, hypertension, and psychiatric disease affected SVR-24, and clinical factors, such as cirrhosis, cirrhosis complications, hepatosteatosis, and other comorbidities did not.

Review, Journal: Treatment of hepatitis C in children and adolescents: how far have we reached? (Pubmed Central) - Sep 23, 2022 These drugs represent a safe and affordable treatment for COVID-19. The literature on different DAA regimens for use in children shows that these regimens have higher cure rates with minimal side effects and shorter duration of therapy.

Observational data, Journal: High sustained virologic response rate after 8 weeks of direct-acting antivirals in cancer patients with chronic hepatitis C virus. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 14, 2022 In conclusion, we could not find any differences in the incidence of HCC after the HCV eradication between the two therapeutic regimens, suggesting no enhancement of HCC development by DAA. Eight weeks of DAA therapy is highly effective and safe in HCV-infected patients with different types of malignancies and may grant access to investigational cancer therapy, broadening treatment options.

Journal, HEOR: Comparative Effectiveness of Direct-Acting Antivirals for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in VA Patients with Hepatitis C Virus Infection. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 10, 2022 The mean differences in improvement on the PCL were smaller between GLE/PIB and SOF/VEL (3.0; 95% CI -6.3, 12.2) and between SOF/VEL and LDV/SOF (4.4; 95% CI -2.4, 11.2). While almost all patients were cured of HCV (92.5%) regardless of the agent received, PTSD outcomes were superior for those receiving GLE/PIB compared to those receiving LDV/SOF, indicating GLE/PIB may merit further investigation as a potential PTSD treatment.

Overall, CV should remain on the differential in patients with a treated HCV and SVR.

Retrospective data, Journal: Sofosbuvir-based direct-acting antivirals and changes in cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2022 SOF-based regimens had 2.72-fold higher relative risk (RR) causing 10% elevation of TC (95% CI 1.84-4.02, p < 0.001) and 2.04-fold higher RR causing 10% elevation of LDL-C (95% CI 1.39-3.01, p < 0.001) than non-SOF-based DAAs. SOF-based DAAs were associated with significantly larger amplitude of increases in TC and LDL-C than non-SOF-based DAAs during the initial 4 weeks of treatment, but the increases were not sustained to SVR12.
