Treatment outcomes in hepatitis C virus genotype 1a infected patients with and without baseline NS5A resistance‐associated substitutions
2020
Background&aims The presence of baseline resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) reduced sustained virologic response (SVR) rates in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1a infected patients treated with Elbasvir/Grazoprevir (EBR/GZR). This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of NS5A RASs and treatment outcomes in patients for whom EBR/GZR was intended. Methods We sequenced NS5A in 832 samples from German genotype1a-infected DAA-naive patients population-based, which were collected in the European Resistance Database. Treatment outcomes and clinical parameters were evaluated in 519 of these patients retrospectively. Results Overall, 6.5% of patients harbored EBR-specific NS5A RASs …
Phase III, Multicenter Open-Label Study to Investigate the Efficacy of Elbasvir and Grazoprevir Fixed-Dose Combination for Eight Weeks in Treatment-N…

Background: Genotype 1b is the most common HCV genotype worldwide, accounting for the largest proportion of infections in Europe, Russia, Latin America and Asia. Reducing treatment duration can improve adherence, reduce drug exposure and cost. Accordingly, we evaluated the efficacy of eight weeks fixed dose combination of grazoprevir-elbasvir in treatment-naive patients, with non-severe fibrosis. Methods: HCV mono-infected and treatment naive patients with non-severe fibrosis (Fibroscan®<9·5kPa and Fibrotest®<0·59) were enrolled in a study which included 117 patients. Genotyping by sequencing identified five patients with non-1b genotype (two GT1a, one GT1h, one GT1e and one GT1l). Thus, we…
Real life data on elbasvir/grazoprevir efficacy, safety and drug-drug interaction profile in patients with chronic hepatitis C viral infection: a pro…
2019
Introduction: In a previous study, based on PITER cohort data, it was reported that of patients, undergoing direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapy, 30%-44%, are at risk of potential drug-drug interactions (DDI). Aim: We aimed to evaluate the prospective profile of elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) efficacy and safety combined with real life comedication profile. Method: Data from 312 patients (mean age 63 ± 10 years; 44% male, 90% of genotype 1.85% fibrosis stage ≤ F3, 15% with child A cirrhosis), enrolled in PITER by 15 clinical centers and treated with EBR/GZR, with at least three months of follow up after the end of treatment, were evaluated. Comedication profiles (no changes, drugs interrup…
