Abstract

The efficacy and safety of anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV. direct-acting antivirals were evaluated in postorthotopic liver transplantation patients. There were 29 patients with HCV genotype 1 and 2 with genotype 2. Of the 29 genotype 1 patients, 5 received daclatasvir (DCV. + asunaprevir (ASV), and 25 received sofosbuvir (SOF. + ledipasvir (LDV), including 1 who had failed DCV + ASV. Both genotype 2 patients received SOF + ribavirin. Four patients with DCV + ASV completed the protocol, and 3 of them achieved a sustained viral re-sponse for 24 weeks (SVR24). All of the patients who received SOF + LDV and SOF + RBV achieved SVR24 with minor adverse events. In post-liver transplantation patients, SOF-based regimens showed highly satisfactory efficacy and safety.
