Infectious Disease:

In patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, what are the efficacy and safety of oral direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens?
Included English-language studies assessed interferon-free treatment regimens of ≥ 2 DAAs that were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and lasted ≥ 8 weeks in adults with chronic HCV infection, regardless of cirrhosis, HIV, or liver transplantation status. DAA combinations included inhibitors of HCV NS3 protease (grazoprevir, paritaprevir, and simeprevir), NS5A (daclatasvir, elbasvir, ledipasvir, ombitasvir, and velpatasvir), and NS5B polymerase (sofosbuvir and dasabuvir), with or without oral antiviral ribavirin. Outcomes were sustained virologic response (SVR) and adverse events.
