Efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir in hepatitis C patients with previous direct-acting antiviral agent failure

Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Hepatology - Year 2024, Vol 40, Issue 11

Abstract

[Objective] To investigate the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir/velpatasivr/voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) in patients with HCV infection experiencing failure in previous direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) therapy. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed for the chronic hepatitis C patients who experienced failure in previous DAA antiviral therapy and were treated with SOF/VEL/VOX (400 mg/100 mg/100 mg/tablet, 1 tablet/day) for 12 weeks in Nanjing Second Hospital, Wuxi Fifth People’s Hospital, and The Third People’s Hospital of Zhenjiang from June 2020 to June 2023. Sustained virological response at 12 weeks (SVR12) was observed after the end of treatment, and the changes in biochemical parameters and the incidence rate of adverse reactions were assessed to evaluate drug safety. The paired t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. [Results] A total of 36 patients were enrolled, among whom there were 27 non-liver cirrhosis patients and 9 patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, and 4 patients experienced failure in the previous two or more sessions of DAA therapy. Two patients were lost to follow-up after treatment, and the remaining 34 patients (34/36, 94.4%) achieved SVR12. Among the 36 patients enrolled, the most common adverse events were pruritus, nausea, fatigue, and headache, and one patient (2.78%) experienced serious adverse events; there were no adverse events that resulted in the discontinuation of therapeutic agents or the death of patients. [Conclusion] For chronic hepatitis C patients who experience failure in previous DAA therapy, SOF/VEL/VOX salvage therapy has a relatively high rate of SVR12, with good tolerability and safety.
