Efficacy of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir in direct-acting antiviral experienced patients with hepatitis C virus.

AIMS: Report the real-world experience of the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients who have previously experienced a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) containing regimen.
METHODS: Consecutive patients who have previously failed or did not tolerate a DAA containing regimen for chronic HCV who was treated with SOF/VEL/VOX were studied. Baseline clinical and laboratory data including NS5A RAS mutation testing were collected.
RESULTS: SOF/VEL/VOX resulted in an end of treatment undetectable HCV viral load in all patients and a sustained virologic response 12 rate of 100% despite the presence of NS5A RAS mutation, HIV infection, and cirrhosis. Treatment with SOF/VEL/VOX was well tolerated and there were no adverse events.
CONCLUSIONS: SOF/VEL/VOX is well tolerated and effective in treating patients who have been exposed to prior DAA therapy outside of clinical trials. SOF/VEL/VOX should be considered as the first-line regimen in HCV infected patients who have experienced prior DAA failure.
