Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir/Voxilaprevir for Hepatitis C Virus Retreatment in Difficult-to-treat Patients: A Real-life Observational Study from India.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment fails to achieve sustained virological response at 12 weeks (SVR12) in 5-10 % and requires retreatment with second-line drugs. We report our experience of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir use for HCV retreatment in a small cohort of difficult-to-treat Indian patients.

Methods

We reviewed our HCV databases to identify the patients who had failed to achieve SVR12 after treatment with sofosbuvir in combination with either daclatasvir, ledipasvir, or velpatasvir with/without ribavirin on one or more occasions. Participants were excluded if they had (i) decompensated cirrhosis, (ii) HIV coinfection or (iii) chronic kidney disease, or (iv) prior organ transplantation. All the participants were treated with sofosbuvir/velpatas
