Nowadays, interferon-free therapy using new direct-acting antivirals (DAA) has dramatically increased the cure rate across different HCV-infected patient populations, including groups traditionally viewed as difficult-to-treat (patients with co-infections, cirrhosis and liver transplant - LT recipients) with marked improvement in safety and tolerability.
To present our experience with DAA therapy in LT recipients, as well as to compare pre- and post-treatment liver stiffness (LS) and noninvasive fibrosis scores.
Our cohort consisted of 89 patients with genotype 1 (GT1) recurrent hepatitis C after LT. Seventy six patients received ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir+dasabuvir+ribavirin and 13 sofosbuvir/ledipasvir+/-ribavirin. Fibroscan®, FIB4 and APRI scores were performed in all patients before and 12 weeks after DAA therapy.
We analyzed 45 (50.5%) males and 44 (49.5%) females with a mean age of 55+/-7.7 years. Median time since LT was 20.9 months. At baseline, 53 (59.6%) of patients had severe necroinflammation at Fibromax®; advanced fibrosis (F3, F4) was encountered in 35 (39.4%) and grade 3 steatosis in 33 (37.1%) of LT recipients. End of therapy (EOT) virological response (VR) was 100%. Sustained virological response 12 weeks after therapy (SVR12) was 97.7% in the intention-to-treat analysis and 100% in per protocol analysis. There was a significant improvement in LS between antiviral therapy initiation and SVR12: 11.9+/-1.05kPa vs 8.8+/-0.6kPa (p<0.0001), as well as in APRI (2.7+/-0.3 vs 0.4+/-0.05, p<0.0001) and FIB4 (4.6+/-0.5 vs 2.5+/-0.2, p<0.0001) scores.
In HCV positive recipients, DAA regimens are highly effective and safe. A significant decrease of LS by transient elastography and fibrosis non-invasive scores can be observed after successful therapy.
如今,使用新型直接抗病毒药物(DAA)的无干扰素疗法显著提高了不同丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者群体的治愈率,包括传统上被视为难以治疗的群体(合并感染患者、肝硬化患者和肝移植受者),安全性和耐受性也有显著改善。
介绍我们在肝移植受者中使用DAA疗法的经验,并比较治疗前后的肝脏硬度(LS)和无创纤维化评分。
我们的队列由89例肝移植后基因型1(GT1)复发性丙型肝炎患者组成。76例患者接受了ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir+dasabuvir+利巴韦林治疗,13例接受了索磷布韦/维帕他韦+/-利巴韦林治疗。在所有患者中,于DAA治疗前和治疗12周后进行了Fibroscan®、FIB4和APRI评分。
我们分析了45例(50.5%)男性和44例(49.5%)女性,平均年龄为55±7.7岁。自肝移植后的中位时间为20.9个月。基线时,53例(59.6%)患者在Fibromax®检查中有严重坏死性炎症;35例(39.4%)肝移植受者有晚期纤维化(F3、F4),33例(37.1%)有3级脂肪变性。治疗结束(EOT)时的病毒学应答(VR)为100%。在意向性分析中,治疗12周后的持续病毒学应答(SVR12)为97.7%,符合方案分析中为100%。在抗病毒治疗开始至SVR12期间,LS有显著改善:从11.9±1.05kPa降至8.8±0.6kPa(p<0.0001),APRI评分(从2.7±0.3降至0.4±0.05,p<0.0001)和FIB4评分(从4.6±0.5降至2.5±0.2,p<0.0001)也有显著改善。
在HCV阳性肝移植受者中,DAA方案高效且安全。成功治疗后,通过瞬时弹性成像和纤维化无创评分可观察到LS显著降低。
