Design

  • SOF: 400 mg qd ; EBR/GZR: 50/100 mg qd
  • RBV : 1000 mg/day if = 75 kg, 1200 mg/day if > 75 kg, bid dosing

Objective

  • SVR4 (HCV RNA < 15 IU/ml)

Baseline characteristics and outcome (SVR4)

Safety

  • Serious adverse events, N = 9, in 7 patients (28%) :
    • Right hypochondrium pain, dermo-hypodermitis , decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (N = 4) , liver transplantation for HCC and septic shock with acute kidney failure
    • None were related to study drugs
    • Of the 5 patients with history of HCC, 2 had HCC recurrences during the treatment phase, 2 had de novo during study
  • Hemoglobin < 10 g/dL, N = 4 (16%) ; < 8.5 g/ dL in 1 patient

Summary

  • Retreating patients who failed a DAA-based regimen with NS5A/NS3 RASs with the combination of SOF + EBR/GZR + RBV for 16 weeks is efficacious and represent an interesting option
  • Safety needs to be monitored cautiously in these patients with a severe disease
