While coformulated ledipasvir (90 mg)/sofosbuvir (400 mg) (LDV/SOF) is approved for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 (GT2) infection in Taiwan, Japan, and New Zealand, data regarding its use for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)-positive patients infected with HCV GT2 are sparse. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of LDV/SOF for HIV-positive patients with HCV GT2 coinfection.
From January 2019 to July 2020, consecutive HIV-positive Taiwanese patients infected with HCV GT2 who received LDV/SOF were retrospectively included for analysis. The effectiveness was determined by sustained virologic response 12 weeks off-therapy (SVR12).
Of the 114 patients (mean age, 38.6 years) initiating LDV/SOF during the study period, 0.9% had liver cirrhosis and 4.4% were HCV treatment-experienced. All patients had estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 30 ml/min/1.73 m and were receiving antiretroviral therapy with 98.2% having CD4 counts ≥ 200 cells/mm and 93.9% plasma HIV RNA load < 50 copies/ml. Antiretrovirals prescribed included tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine in 42.1%, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/emtricitabine 18.4%, other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) 39.5%, non-NRTIs 12.3%, protease inhibitors 13.2%, and integrase inhibitors 74.6%. All patients had undetectable plasma HCV RNA load at the end of treatment, and 96.5% achieved SVR12 in intention-to-treat analysis. The on-treatment eGFR decline was more pronounced in those receiving TDF-containing antiretroviral therapy (mean change, - 8.33 ml/min/1.73 m), which was reversible after discontinuation of LDV/SOF. None of the patients interrupted LDV/SOF during the 12-week treatment course.
Similar to the response observed among HIV-negative patients, LDV/SOF is effective for HIV-positive patients coinfected with HCV GT2.
虽然复方雷迪帕韦(90毫克)/索磷布韦(400毫克)(LDV/SOF)已在台湾、日本和新西兰获批用于治疗丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)基因2型(GT2)感染,但关于其在感染HCV GT2的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)阳性患者中的应用数据稀少。我们旨在评估LDV/SOF对HCV GT2合并感染的HIV阳性患者的有效性和耐受性。
回顾性纳入2019年1月至2020年7月期间连续接受LDV/SOF治疗的感染HCV GT2的HIV阳性台湾患者进行分析。有效性通过治疗停药12周后的持续病毒学应答(SVR12)来确定。
在研究期间开始使用LDV/SOF的114例患者(平均年龄38.6岁)中,0.9%有肝硬化,4.4%有HCV治疗史。所有患者的估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)>30毫升/分钟/1.73平方米,并且正在接受抗逆转录病毒治疗,98.2%的患者CD4细胞计数≥200个/立方毫米,93.9%的患者血浆HIV RNA载量<50拷贝/毫升。所开具的抗逆转录病毒药物包括42.1%的丙酚替诺福韦/恩曲他滨、18.4%的富马酸替诺福韦二吡呋酯(TDF)/恩曲他滨、39.5%的其他核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂(NRTIs)、12.3%的非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂、13.2%的蛋白酶抑制剂以及74.6%的整合酶抑制剂。所有患者在治疗结束时血浆HCV RNA载量均检测不到,在意向性分析中96.5%的患者实现了SVR12。接受含TDF抗逆转录病毒治疗的患者治疗期间eGFR下降更为明显(平均变化-8.33毫升/分钟/1.73平方米),在停用LDV/SOF后可逆转。在12周治疗过程中没有患者中断LDV/SOF治疗。
与在HIV阴性患者中观察到的应答相似,LDV/SOF对合并HCV GT2感染的HIV阳性患者有效。
