Hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug development has resulted in treatment regimens composed of interferon‐free, all‐oral combinations of direct‐acting antivirals. While the new regimens are potent and highly efficacious, the full clinical impact of HCV drug resistance, its implications for retreatment, and the potential role of baseline resistance testing remain critical research and clinical questions. In this report, we discuss the viral proteins targeted by HCV direct‐acting antivirals and summarize clinically relevant resistance data for compounds that have been approved or are currently in phase 3 clinical trials. Conclusion: This report provides a comprehensive, systematic review of all resistance information available from sponsors’ trials as a tool to inform the HCV drug development field.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
