Real-World Experience of Chronic Hepatitis C-Related Compensated Liver Cirrhosis Treated with Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Background: Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is a protease inhibitor-containing pangenotypic direct-acting antiviral regimen that has been approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir in patients with compensated c...

The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir in patients with compensated cirrhosis in a real-world setting. Methods: We evaluated the real-world safety and efficacy of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir in patients with compensated cirrhosis from five hospitals in the Changhua Christian Care System, who underwent treatment between August 2018 and October 2020. The primary endpoint was a sustained virological response observed 12 weeks after completion of the treatment. Results: Ninety patients, including 70 patients who received the 12-week therapy and 20 patients who received the 8-week therapy, were enrolled. The mean age of the patients was 65 years, and 57.8% of the patients were males. Sixteen (17.8%) patients had end-stage renal disease, and 15 (16.7%) had co-existing hepatoma. The hepatitis C virus genotypes 1 (40%) and 2 (35.6%) were most common. The common side effects included anorexia (12.2%), pruritus (7.8%), abdominal discomfort (7.8%), and malaise (7.8%). Laboratory adverse grade ≥3 events included anemia (6.3%), thrombocytopenia (5.1%), and jaundice (2.2%). The overall sustained virological response rates were 94.4% and 97.7% in the intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses, respectively. Conclusions: the glecaprevir/pibrentasvir treatment regimen was highly effective and well tolerated among patients with compensated cirrhosis in the real-world setting.Pei-Yuan SuYang-Yuan ChenJun-Hung LaiHung-Ming ChenChih-Ta YaoI-Ling LiuYa-Huei ZengSiou-Ping HuangYu-Chun HsuShun-Sheng WuFu-Yuan SiaoHsu-Heng YenMDPI AGarticlehepatitis Ctherapycirrhosiscompensated cirrhosisMedicineRENJournal of Clinical Medicine, Vol 10, Iss 5236, p 5236 (2021)
