Safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir-based treatment of acute hepatitis C in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing haemodialysis.
ALIMENTARY PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS(2018)
摘要
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients undergoing haemodialysis is prevalent and aggressive. The treatment of chronic hepatitis C has been revolutionised by the advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). However, the safety, efficacy, and tolerance of DAAs in the treatment of acute HCV infection in patients with end-stage renal disease who are on haemodialysis are unknown. Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir plus daclatasvir in this specific, difficult-to-treat population. Methods: We conducted a prospective and observational study of end-stage renal disease patients who were undergoing haemodialysis and were acutely infected with HCV. Patients received a half dose of sofosbuvir (200 mg) and a full dose of daclatasvir (60 mg) daily. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with sustained virological responses (SVRs); the other primary outcomes were safety and tolerability. Results: Thirty-three patients were enrolled in the study. The median HCV RNA viral load at baseline was 6.8 log(10)IU/mL. Twenty-four patients were infected with HCV genotype 2a, seven patients with 1b, and two patients with 2a+1b. All patients achieved a SVR at 12 weeks after the end of treatment. The treatment was well tolerated, and there were no drug-related serious adverse events. Conclusion: A half dose of sofosbuvir (200 mg once daily) plus a full dose of daclatasvir (60 mg once daily) were suitable for the treatment of acute HCV-infected patients who were undergoing end-stage renal disease and were on haemodialysis.
