Twelve weeks of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/r and dasabuvir without ribavirin is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with HCV genotype 1b infection and compensated cirrhosis: results from a real-world cohort study
2018
ABSTRACTObjective: To explore the effectiveness and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir (OBV/PTV/r+DSV) for 12 weeks without ribavirin in adults with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection and compensated cirrhosis.Methods: Observational study of a prospective cohort of adult patients with HCV genotype 1b infection and compensated cirrhosis who received 12 weeks of OBV/PTV/r and DSV without ribavirin. Effectiveness was assessed by recording the percentage of patients achieving sustained virological response at week 12 post-treatment (SVR12). Safety outcomes were based on the incidence of adverse events.Results: Seventy-eight patients were included. The SVR12 rate was 96.1% (95%CI 89.2–99.2). Adverse events were recorded in 78.0% of patients. Of these, 97.7% were grade 1/2. One patient discontinued treatment prematurely owing to adverse events. Eighty-six interactions were detected in 43 patients (55.1%). Overall, 81.4% of interactions required close monitoring, alteration of drug dosage, ...
