Re-treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Infection After Relapse

Abstract: Background The interferon (IFN)-free regimen of sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 24 weeks was recently approved to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), genotype-1 (GT-1) infection for interferon-ineligible patients . However, sofosbuvir/ribavirin therapy is associated with treatment relapse in 15-30% of HCV GT-1 study subjects. Neither the mechanism of relapse nor the optimal retreatment strategy for these subjects is defined. Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir and ledipasvir in chronic … Show more

“…The reason for virologic failure in the patients without S282T development is not completely clear, but the most likely explanation is persistence of a wild‐type virus that was not completely eradiated by the treatment. Moreover, several studies have demonstrated that virologic failures of an SOF‐based regimen can be successfully retreated with another SOF‐based regimen 19, 20. In the current study, eight of nine patients who failed SOF or LDV/SOF with treatment‐emergent S282T achieved SVR following retreatment with a second course of SOF‐based regimen, with either a second or third DAA or longer treatment duration.…”

“…Even the failure to detect RASs after treatment failure does not rule out the possibility that RASs may have emerged at the time of treatment failure before being replaced by wild type because of their relatively poor replication fitness. Two recent studies have demonstrated that previous virologic failure with SOF‐based treatment does not prevent successful retreatment with another SOF‐based regimen 19, 20. In both studies, all patients with HCV GT1 infection who had relapsed after SOF+RBV with or without pegylated interferon achieved SVR following 12 weeks LDV/SOF with or without RBV.…”
