Soluble inflammatory mediators (SIM) can be predictive of treatment outcome in antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Recently, it was shown that a subgroup of patients can be cured with four weeks of therapy. We here profiled patients for 70 SIM before and during treatment of hepatitis C with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) +/− ribavirin. Proximity extension assay was performed in a total of 32 patients. Pretreatment SIM profiles did not distinguish patients achieving an SVR (n = 21) from patients experiencing antiviral relapse (n = 11). However, after 4 weeks of therapy, eight markers were identified that could distinguish patients with SVR from the relapsed group, namely MMP-10, CCL20, CXCL11, FGF-23, TNF, MCP-2, IL-18R1 and CXCL10.Thus, this study shows that a distinct on-treatment immune profile is associated with cure of HCV infection after ultrashort treatment.
