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.

Journal: Discovery of hit molecules targeting allosteric site of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 Top 20 hits were screened out from identified hits using molecular docking technique. Four molecules, that are representative of 20 hits were evaluated for binding affinity under in vitro conditions using surface plasmon resonance based assay and the results emphasized that compound with CoCoCo ID: 412075 could exhibit good binding response toward NS5B and could be a potential candidate as NS5B inhibitor.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Breakthroughs and challenges in the management of pediatric viral hepatitis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2021 Anti-HBV investigational compounds are reviewed in light of the pathophysiology in the pediatric population, including capsid assembly modulators, antigen secretion inhibitors, silencing RNAs, and immune modifiers. Recommendations for screening and management of immunosuppressed children or those with other risk factors or comorbidities are also summarized.

[VIRTUAL] TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS C USING DIRECT ACTING ANTIVIRALS IN TEENAGERS WITH HIV COINFECTION. () - Jun 2, 2021 - Abstract #ESPID2021ESPID_1446; Background: No data on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) in children and adolescents with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection are available...12- week treatment with LDV/SOF in two HIV/HCV-coinfected teenagers was safe and effective. Our experience may encourage other clinicians to start antiviral treatment with LDV/SOF in their patients.

A careful monitoring of liver enzymes tests is crucial to detect hepatic disease and prevent its evolution to a chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. On the other hand, screening for viral hepatitis B and C is necessary to prevent an aggravation of a chronic infection and a reactivation of a latent one [2].

Journal, HEOR: Cost-effectiveness of Oral Regimens for Adolescents With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 7, 2021 In the setting of good tolerability and high effectiveness of DAA therapy, alternative treatment approaches tailored to the target group such as less intense monitoring or in contrast, directly observed treatment (DOT) should be considered. Novel oral regimes for adolescents with HCV infection are likely to be cost-effective in the context of the United States and China.

Journal: Loss to follow-up: a significant barrier in the treatment cascade with direct-acting therapies. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 26, 2021 Our findings indicate that loss to follow up exceeds viral-failure in HCV DAA therapy and its rate varies significantly by genotype and treatment regimen. Depending on the etiology of lost to follow up, personalized case management for those with medical complications and supporting services among IDU are needed to achieve the full benefits of effective treatments.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 20, 2021 Six treatment failures occurred with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir compared to 1 failure on a PI-based regimen...The most common genotype of Hepatitis C in Europe and the United States is genotype 1a or 1b and most clinical trials focused on these genotypes. We report that in a group of African patients, most of them had unusual (non-1a/1b) genotype 1 subtypes, and that the cure rate in these unusual genotypes was lower than in genotypes 1a and 1b.

Due to the complexities of NTM infections, we recommend a multidisciplinary approach including pulmonary and infectious disease specialists.

[VIRTUAL] Trading Sustained Virologic Response for Pulmonary Vascular Resistance: Growing Evidence of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Linked with Sofosbuvir () - Mar 14, 2021 - Abstract #ATS2021ATS_2556; Introduction: Interferon-free regimens such as Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (Harvoni) have demonstrated superior sustained virologic response (SVR) rates and fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies for Hepatitis C virus (HCV)...She was started on sildenafil with subsequent improvement in her functional capacity, and a repeat TTE three months later revealed an RVSP of 57 mmHg...These findings are consistent with other case studies describing the same HCV DAA-related adverse effects, thus contributing to the growing evidence of an association of sofosbuvir-based therapies and the development and/or worsening of PAH. Further consideration of these therapies ought to be accompanied by appropriate screening modalities and adjustment of treatment regimens to account for cardiopulmonary-related adverse effects.

Journal, IO biomarker: Reconstitution of T follicular helper-humoral immune axis with elimination of hepatitis C virus. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 12, 2021 Here, we aimed to evaluate the immunological changes in global and HCV-specific CD4 + CXCR5 + T, CD4 + CXCR5-T and B cells in 20 HCV patients who achieved SVR with Sofosbuvir and Ledipasvir for 12 weeks and compared with 15 healthy controls (HC)...Importantly, frequencies of T cells were significantly associated with HCV RNA reduction, expansion of memory B and plasmablasts, while negatively associated with exhausted/regulatory B cells. Our results demonstrate that SVR with DAA therapy is effective in the reconstitution of phenotypic and functional abnormalities of T-B cell axis.
