Host pharmacogenetic factors that may affect liver neoplasm incidence upon using direct-acting antivirals for treating hepatitis C infection

Abstract: Introduction: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) represent a breakthrough in hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment as they directly inhibit HCV nonstructural (NS) proteins (NS3/4A, NS5A, and NS5B). However, ongoing debates exist regarding their relationship with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) whose incidence is widely debated among investigators. This study was conducted to identify host pharmacogenetic factors that may influence HCC incidence upon using HCV DAAs. Materials and methods: Details regarding 16 HCV DAAs … Show more

“…This safer second and third generation PIs were followed by daclatasvir and sofosbuvir ( 5 ) (Figure ) used as NS5A and NS5B polymerase inhibitors, respectively. In particular, treatment of naı̈ve patients with sofosbuvir ( 5 ) in combination with peg-IFN and ribavirin allowed to achieve an SVR rate of 90% after only 12 weeks. , These drugs showed to be effective against gt1 subclasses (gt1a and gt1b). However, some patients affected by gt2 and gt3 achieved a high SVR rate after dual therapy of sofosbuvir ( 5 ) and ribavirin .…”
