2 Disclosure Statement I have no relevant financial relationships that would bias or compromise the presentation of these materials. Therapies not fully evaluated or approved by the FDA will be mentioned: Off-label recommendations supported by guidelines but not FDA approved

3 Objectives Discuss the pathophysiology and diagnosis of Hepatitis C virus Identify patients with chronic Hepatitis C virus that are appropriate for treatment Chose appropriate medication and duration of treatment for patient with Hepatitis C virus based on genotype, treatment history and other factors Provide education including potential side effects and drug interactions that are commonly encountered during Hepatitis C virus treatment

4 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) 2.7 million people in the US Birth Cohort: higher risk Other risk factors Injection drug users Received clotting factor concentrates prior to 1987 Received blood transfusion or transplant prior to July 1992 Chronic hemodialysis People with HIV Transmission Injection drug users (#1) 30% of current users years old are infected, 70-90% of former users are infected Donated blood or blood products or organs (no longer common) Needlesticks Birth to HCV infected mother Sexual transmission is rare 15-25% of people clear the virus spontaneously Hepatitis C FAQs for Health Professionals. (Oct 14, 2015).

5 HCV Testing CDC. Testing for HCV infections. 2103

6 HCV Genotypes Messina JP, Humphreys I, Flaxman A, et al

7 Treatment Goal of treatment to reduce all-cause mortality and liver-related health adverse consequences, including end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, by the achievement of virologic cure.. Who to treat recommend treatment for all patients with chronic HCV infection, except those with short life expectancies that cannot be remediated by treating HCV, by transplantation, or by other directed therapy. Treatment regimen varies based on patient characteristics Genotype Liver health (cirrhotic or non-cirrhotic) Previous treatment Viral load AASLD/IDSA/IAS USA. Treatment Guidelines

Patients taking beta blockers, those with cardiac comorbidities or advanced liver disease are at increased risk. Cardiac monitoring in an in-patient setting for the first 48 hours of coadministration is recommended, after which outpatient or self-monitoring of the heart rate should occur on a daily basis through at least the first 2 weeks of treatment. Patients who develop signs or symptoms of bradycardia should seek medical evaluation immediately.
