Purpose of Review Therapies for hepatitis C (HCV) are evolving rapidly with the advent of novel direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs). We review evidence for currently or imminently available regimens to aide clinicians in understanding current therapeutic options.
Recent Findings A number of DAA combinations have completed clinical trials and are available for use. Current combinations are often genotype-specific, and combine HCV protease inhibitors, NS5A inhibitors and/or NS5B inhibitors to suppress HCV replication, leading to eradication. Current potential combinations for genotype 1 infection include sofosbuvir-ledipasvir, paritaprevir/ritonavir-ombitasvirdasabuvir, sofosbuvir with daclatasvir, and grazoprevirelbasvir. These regimens have been associated with sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of over 95 % for treatment naive individuals after 12 weeks of therapy regardless of cirrhosis, and some sub-groups of patients may be successfully treated with just 8 weeks of sofosbuvir-ledipasvir. Regimens for genotype 2 and 3 include sofosbuvir with ribavirin, sofosbuvir with daclatasvir, or with velpatasvir, which may offer highest SVR rates when available. The development of HCV drug resistance, particularly against NS5A agents, may impact subsequent regimens. The need for baseline screening for resistant variants is unclear for most regimens, but likely would affect only a minority of patients.
Summary All-oral curative regimens for HCVare now possible for most patients.
