Sofosbuvir/ledipasvir ADVANTAGES Single-tablet regimen for most GT1 and GT4 patients 8-week option in GT1 treatment-naive noncirrhotics Few interactions Can be retreated with a PI (SMV) + SOF + ribavirin if relapse DISADVANTAGES EASL does not recommend in GT2 and GT3 infection Slightly less efficacious in GT1 if BL NS5A RASs Not if egfr <30 ml/min Ribavirin should be added in cirrhosis NS5A resistance if non-svr
Paritaprevir/ombitasvir/ritonavir (+ dasabuvir) ADVANTAGES Dasabuvir (nonnucleotidic NS5B inhibitor; Exviera) not needed in GT4 infection Can be given in severe renal impairment (egfr <30 ml/min) DISADVANTAGES Only effective in GT 1 and 4 Dasabuvir dosed twice daily (GT1) Ribavirin must be added for GT1b cirrhosis, 1a and 4 24 weeks in GT1a and 4 cirrhosis Large pill burden Multiple drug-drug interactions (ritonavir) Contraindicated in CPT-B/C cirrhosis Complex resistance if non-svr
Grazoprevir/elbasvir ADVANTAGES Single-tablet regimen GT1 and GT4 Can be given in severe renal impairment (egfr <30 ml/min) DISADVANTAGES Baseline testing for EBRspecific RASs in GT1a Ribavirin, treatment prolongation to 16 weeks should be considered if BL EBR-specific RASs (GT1a) or viral load >800,000 IU/mL (GT1a and 4) Contraindicated in CPT-B/C Grazoprevir and elbasvir are substrates of CYP3A Complex resistance if non- SVR
Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir ADVANTAGES Pangenotypic efficacy Single-tablet regimen for most patient segments Few interactions Baseline NS5A resistance does not impact in GT1 Can be retreated with a PI (SMV) + SOF + ribavirin if relapse DISADVANTAGES 8 weeks not recommended Not if egfr <30 ml/min Ribavirin may be considered for cirrhotic GT3 patients to overcome the impact of baseline NS5A resistance Ribavirin should be added in decompensated liver disease NS5A resistance if non-svr * Epclusa to be included in EASL Treatment Guidelines
Not available Available, reliable, interpret able, understandable* *recommended for GZR/EBR for US patients with GT1a Optimize therapy to avoid treatment failure Presence of NS5As RASs conferring high-level resistance (pop seq or >15%) SOF/LDV, SOF/DCV, SOF/SIM: Add RBV in G1a-4-5-6 TE SOF/VEL: Add RBV in G3 TE patients and cirrhotics GZR/EBR: use 16 weeks with RBV in GT1a Add ribavirin and/or increase treatment duration in patients with NS5A RASs
