Shortening therapy duration with direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) is desirable to pursue the WHO target of HCV eradication by 2030. We report two cases of HCV-infected women who achieved sustained virologic response after an ultra-short treatment with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P), discontinued due to cutaneous adverse events, and analyze similar cases reported in the literature. Female gender seems to be a prevailing characteristic in this group of patients. G/P, due to its pangenotypic and strong antiviral activity, may represent a candidate for a shortened DAA regimen in non-cirrhotic treatment-naive subjects.
缩短直接作用抗病毒药物(DAAs)的治疗时间是实现 2030 年世卫组织消除 HCV 目标的理想选择。我们报告了两例 HCV 感染女性患者,她们在因皮肤不良反应而停止使用 glecaprevir/pibrentasvir(G/P)进行超短疗程治疗后实现了持续病毒学应答,并分析了文献中报告的类似病例。女性似乎是这群患者的一个主要特征。G/P 由于其泛基因型和强大的抗病毒活性,可能是无肝硬化初治患者缩短 DAA 方案的候选药物。
