The sofosbuvir-velpatasvir single-tablet regimen (Epclusa) is a newly FDA-approved inhibitor of hepatitis C virus (HCV). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of velpatasvir-sofosbuvir in the treatment of chronic HCV infection.
A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE and Web of Science was conducted. Data from eligible studies were pooled in a fixed-effect meta-analysis model, using Open-Meta and RevMan software's.
Pooled data showed that velpatasvir-sofosbuvir achieved sustained virological response (SVR12) rates of 94.2% (95% CI 90.7-97.7%, P < .001) in 1277 patients. The addition of ribavirin did not significantly increase the SVR12 (RR = 1.03, 95%CI [0.95, 1.11]) in HCV genotype-1 patients and the SVR12 (RR = 1.09, 95%CI [0.86, 1.38]) in HCV genotype-2 patients. However, adding ribavirin significantly increased SVR12 (RR = 1.13, 95% CI [1.04, 1.23]) in genotype-3 patients.
In conclusion, the 12-week regimen of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir was highly effective in HCV patients. Except for genotype-3, adding ribavirin was not associated with significant improvements in SVR12 rates.
索磷布韦-维帕他韦单片制剂(Epclusa)是一种新的美国食品和药物管理局批准的丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)抑制剂。本荟萃分析旨在研究维帕他韦-索磷布韦治疗慢性丙型肝炎感染的安全性和疗效。
对 PubMed、Cochrane 中央、EMBASE 和 Web of Science 进行了全面的文献检索。使用 Open-Meta 和 RevMan 软件的固定效应荟萃分析模型,对合格研究的数据进行了汇总。
汇总数据显示,在 1277 名患者中,维帕他韦-索磷布韦的持续病毒学应答(SVR12)率为 94.2%(95%CI 90.7-97.7%,P<.001)。利巴韦林的加入并没有显著提高丙型肝炎基因型 1 患者的 SVR12(RR=1.03,95%CI [0.95,1.11])和丙型肝炎基因型 2 患者的 SVR12(RR=1.09,95%CI [0.86,1.38])。然而,利巴韦林的加入显著提高了基因型 3 患者的 SVR12(RR=1.13,95%CI [1.04,1.23])。
总之,索磷布韦-维帕他韦 12 周疗程对丙型肝炎患者非常有效。除基因型 3 外,利巴韦林的加入与 SVR12 率的显著提高无关。
