Hepatitis C virus infection is causing chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. By combining direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), high sustained virologic response rates (SVRs) can be achieved. Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) are commonly observed after DAA failure, and especially nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) RASs may impact retreatment options. Data on retreatment of DAA failure patients using first-generation DAAs are limited. Recently, a second-generation protease- and NS5A-inhibitor plus sofosbuvir (voxilaprevir/velpatasvir/sofosbuvir [VOX/VEL/SOF]) was approved for retreatment after DAA failure. However, this and other second-generation regimens are not available in many resource-limited countries or are not reimbursed by regular insurance, and recommendations regarding the selection of retreatment regimens using first-generation DAAs are very important. This study aimed to analyze patients who were re-treated with first-generation DAAs after failure of a DAA combination therapy.
丙型肝炎病毒感染可导致慢性肝脏疾病、肝硬化和肝细胞癌。通过联合直接作用抗病毒药物(DAAs),可实现高持续病毒学应答率(SVR)。在 DAA 治疗失败后,常观察到耐药相关替代(RASs),特别是非结构蛋白 5A(NS5A)RASs 可能影响再治疗选择。使用第一代 DAA 治疗 DAA 治疗失败患者的再治疗数据有限。最近,批准了第二代蛋白酶和 NS5A 抑制剂加索非布韦(voxilaprevir/velpatasvir/sofosbuvir [VOX/VEL/SOF])用于 DAA 治疗失败后的再治疗。然而,在许多资源有限的国家,第二代方案并不适用或不受常规保险报销,因此使用第一代 DAA 选择再治疗方案的建议非常重要。本研究旨在分析 DAA 联合治疗失败后使用第一代 DAA 进行再治疗的患者。
