Abstract

There is sparse data on the use of Sofosbuvir based directly acting antiviral (DAA) drug regimens in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of low-dose Sofosbuvir plus full-dose Daclatasvir in CHC patients with CKD. Sixty-five CHC patients with CKD with eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 [54 (83%) patients with ESRD on hemodialysis] were included. All patients irrespective of genotype were treated with half-dose Sofosbuvir [200 mg (half tablet of 400 mg)] plus full-dose Daclatasvir (60 mg) given daily for either 12 or 24 weeks given in patients with genotype 3 cirrhosis. The efficacy was assessed by the sustained virological response (SVR12) with negative HCV RNA 12 weeks after the end of treatment (ETR). The median HCV RNA level in 65 patients (Males 40, mean age 42.9 ± 13 years) was 1.65 × 106 (1.2 × 103-1.73 × 108) IU/mL with 42 (64.6%) patients having HCV genotype 1, followed by genotype 3 and 2 in 22 (34%) and 1 (1.4%) patients, respectively. Twenty-one (32%) patients had evidence of cirrhosis, and ten (15.4%) patients were treatment experienced. Sixty-four (98.5%) patients achieved...Continue Reading
