Analysis of Host and Viral-Related Factors Associated to Direct Acting Antiviral Response in Hepatitis C Virus Patients.

Abstract:

:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) signifies an important health issue as it is a globally prevalent pathogen and poses a great threat to human health. Direct antiviral therapy became a landmark in treatment against chronic HCV infection as they have proven to increase sustained virological response (SVR) rate, provide shortened and simplified regimens. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy of Sofosbuvir and classify factors of treatment success and their function in therapy continuation decision. We studied host and viral factors in 310 patients who received Sofosbuvir (DAA) at a dose of 400 mg daily along with ribavirin 10 mg/kg body weight for 24 weeks and followed by 12 weeks after completion of treatment. A total of 302 patients (97.42%) showed end-of-treatment response. However, 8 patients (2.58%) were virological nonresponders and 286 patients (94.70%) achieved SVR. Among 310 HCV positive, the percentage of viral genotype 3-infected patients was 89.6%, whereas only 10.32% were affected by HCV genotype 1. Multivariable analysis showed that baseline HCV RNA (≤8 × 106 IU/mL vs. >8 × 106 IU/mL) [95% confidence interval (CI), odds ratio (OR) 3.0, 2.0 to 8.4; p = 0.004], age (<50 vs. ≥50 years) (95% CI, OR 1.9, 3.0 to 10.1; p = 0.03), liver texture (normal liver vs. coarse) are related to virological response. None of the patients included in the study has S282T substitution in NS5b of HCV. No significant difference in response was observed in patients with different genotypes of rs12979860. Liver texture, age, and viral load are predictors of SVR. In this real-life data no substitution of S282T in NS5b was observed related to failure of therapy. Oral Sofosbuvir generally has a high tolerance and can effortlessly beat the safety concerns of past regimens.
