Thus, we aimed to assess treatment failure and rescue treatment options in these patients. Full-Text PDF Reply to: “Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir + sofosbuvir + ribavirin offers high cure rate for hepatitis C virus retreatment in real-world settings”Journal of HepatologyVol. 75Issue 1PreviewWe thank Dr. Martin and colleagues for their interest in our study and for presenting additional data on the usage of glecaprevir, pibrentasvir + sofosbuvir + ribavirin (G/P+SOF+RBV) for the rescue treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C who failed to voxilaprevir, velpatasvir, sofosbuvir (VOX/VEL/SOF) as retreatment. Full-Text PDF We read with interest the recent publication by Dietz et al.[1]Dietz J. Di Maio V.C. de Salazar A. Merino D. Vermehren J.

Patients who fail to achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) with approved direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens have limited options for successful retreatment. Usage of a regimen containing an NS3/4A protease inhibitor, NS5A replication complex inhibitor, and NS5B polymerase inhibitor with weight-based ribavirin is appropriate for patients for whom even triple-DAA rescue therapy with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir did not achieve cure. In 2018, the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) guidelines first included a recommendation for the use of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir with sofosbuvir and ribavirin for up to 16 to 24 weeks in patients who had twice failed other DAA regimens.[2]European Association for the Study of the LiverEASL Recommendations on treatment of hepatitis C 2018.J Hepatol. 2018; 69: 461-511https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2018.03.026Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1222) Google Scholar Updated EASL guidelines published in 2020 recommend its use for 12–24 weeks in twice-failures of DAA regimens, and for 24 weeks in sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir failures.[3]European Association for the Study of the LiverEASL recommendations on treatment of hepatitis C: final update of the series.J Hepatol. 2020 Nov; 73: 1170-1218https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2020.08.018Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (372) Google Scholar The joint American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and Infectious Diseases Society of America (AASLD-IDSA) guidance first included this combination as a recommended retreatment option in November 2019.

This dual-center case series describes the use of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir with sofosbuvir and ribavirin as a salvage regimen in real-world settings in patients who previously failed multiple DAA regimens including sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir. Authors at 2 urban academic medical centers performed a retrospective review of the electronic medical records of DAA-experienced patients who initiated HCV treatment with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir plus sofosbuvir and ribavirin through April 10, 2020. The data collected included baseline demographics, medical history, HCV treatment-related details, and laboratory values throughout treatment and until SVR was achieved. This study was approved by both sites’ institutional review boards. The primary outcome was SVR following treatment with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, sofosbuvir, and ribavirin. Six patients began 16–24 weeks of HCV retreatment with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, sofosbuvir, and ribavirin between July 2018 and March 2020. All patients achieved SVR. Baseline resistance was present in most patients (5/5 assessed for NS5A and 3/4 assessed for NS3), and all had cirrhosis. No patients were on dialysis or had HIV or HBV infection. No patients experienced serious adverse events or died during treatment.

Weight-based ribavirin (1,200 mg/day; all patients weighed >75 kg) was used for all patients based on authors’ previous experience with the inclusion of ribavirin and extension of treatment length as methods for successful retreatment in DAA failures. Providers ordered complete blood counts and comprehensive metabolic panels every 2–4 weeks during HCV treatment. No patients had hemoglobin levels under 10 g/dL or required ribavirin dose adjustments during treatment. All patients treated with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, sofosbuvir, and ribavirin achieved a cure. No patients died or had serious adverse events, implicating the safety of this regimen in our small cohort of patients. Providers are advised to monitor hemoglobin/hematocrit levels and renal function during the course of treatment that includes ribavirin and to counsel patients of childbearing potential on the importance of the use of 2 forms of contraception during therapy and for 6 months afterward due to the teratogenicity of ribavirin. Decompensated patients must be managed by a transplant center and closely monitored for elevated liver enzymes and further decompensation with off-label use of a protease inhibitor. This salvage regimen lacks robust published clinical data. Patients were treated prior to the publication of the latest EASL and AASLD-IDSA guidelines, and treatment for 16 weeks was effective in 4 patients. This real-world case series adds to the available literature and demonstrates that salvage therapy with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, sofosbuvir, and ribavirin is an effective and safe treatment for compensated cirrhotic patients who previously failed sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir treatment.
