Efficacy and safety of danoprevir plus sofosbuvir in GT 1, 2, 3, or 6 chronic hepatitis C patients with or without cirrhosis in China.

Abstract

ABSTRACT:

All-oral direct-acting antiviral therapies are becoming the choice for hepatitis C (HCV) treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ritonavir-boosted danoprevir (DNVr) plus sofosbuvir±ribavirin on HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, or 6 in the real world in China.In this observational, prospective, multicenter cohort, we enrolled a total of 58 patients with HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, or 6 patients from July 2018 to December 2019. All patients were treated with DNVr plus sofosbuvir ± ribavirin for 12 weeks and then followed up for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the rate of sustained virologic response at week 12 after the end of treatment (SVR12). The secondary endpoint was virologic response rate at end-of-treatment and adverse event outcome.Of the 58 patients who were enrolled, 5.2% (n = 3) had genotype 1a; 43.1% (n = 25) had HCV genotype 1b; 17.2% (n = 10) had genotype 2a; 5.2% (n = 3) had genotype 3a; 8.6% (n = 5) had genotype 3b; and 20.7% (n = 12) had genotype 6a. The virologic response rate at end-of-treatment was 100% (58/58). The HCV-RNA results of 5 patients were absent at week 12 after treatment. Among the 53 patients, SVR12 rate achieved 100% (53/53) with DNVr plus sofosbuvir ± ribavirin treatment in patients with HCV genotype 1b, 2a, 3, and 6a. For compensated cirrhosis and noncirrhosis patients, SVR12 was 100% with DNVr plus sofosbuvir ± ribavirin treatment. No serious event was observed during the treatment and follow-up. Only 5 patients had mild adverse events.DNVr plus sofosbuvir ± ribavirin for 12 weeks provided 100% SVR12 in a broad patient population and were well tolerated, which may be a promising regimen for CHC treatment.
