The presence or absence of cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection influences the type and duration of antiviral therapy. Non-invasive markers, like serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to platelet ratio index (APRI), may help identify appropriate HCV treatment-naive patients for 8-week treatment with the pangenotypic regimen of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir.
This single-arm, open-label, international, prospective study (NCT03212521) evaluated the efficacy and safety of 8-week glecaprevir/pibrentasvir regimen in HCV treatment-naïve adults with chronic HCV genotypes 1-6 infection, APRI ≤ 1, and no prior evidence of cirrhosis. The primary and secondary outcomes were sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) by modified intent-to-treat (mITT) and intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses, respectively. Additional endpoints included virologic failures, treatment adherence, and genotype-specific SVR12 rates.
Among the 230 patients enrolled, most were less than 65 years old (90%); 37% and 43% had a history of injection drug use or psychiatric disorders, respectively. SVR12 rates were 100% (222/222; 95% CI 98.3-100%) and 96.5% (222/230; 95% CI 94.2-98.9%) by mITT and ITT analyses, respectively. There were no virologic failures. ITT SVR12 rates were greater than 94% for all HCV genotypes. In patients with available data, treatment adherence was 99% (202/204). There were no grade 3 or higher laboratory abnormalities in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin, and low rates of serious adverse events (2%).
Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir was highly efficacious and well tolerated in HCV treatment-naïve patients with APRI ≤ 1 and no prior evidence of cirrhosis.

慢性丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者是否存在肝硬化会影响抗病毒治疗的类型和持续时间。非侵入性标志物,如血清天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)与血小板比值指数(APRI),可能有助于识别适当的 HCV 初治患者,进行 8 周的泛基因型 glecaprevir/pibrentasvir 治疗。
这项单臂、开放标签、国际、前瞻性研究(NCT03212521)评估了 8 周 glecaprevir/pibrentasvir 方案在慢性 HCV 基因型 1-6 感染、APRI≤1 和无肝硬化既往证据的 HCV 初治成人中的疗效和安全性。主要和次要终点分别为治疗后 12 周时的持续病毒学应答(SVR12),采用改良意向治疗(mITT)和意向治疗(ITT)分析。其他终点包括病毒学失败、治疗依从性和基因型特异性 SVR12 率。
在 230 名入组患者中,大多数患者年龄小于 65 岁(90%);37%和 43%分别有静脉注射药物使用史或精神疾病史。mITT 和 ITT 分析的 SVR12 率分别为 100%(222/222;95%CI 98.3-100%)和 96.5%(222/230;95%CI 94.2-98.9%)。无病毒学失败。所有 HCV 基因型的 ITT SVR12 率均大于 94%。在有可用数据的患者中,治疗依从性为 99%(202/204)。丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)和总胆红素的实验室异常发生率为 3 级或更高的比例为 0%,严重不良事件的发生率较低(2%)。
glecaprevir/pibrentasvir 在 APRI≤1 和无肝硬化既往证据的 HCV 初治患者中疗效显著,耐受性良好。
