Efficacy and Safety of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir for Chronic Hepatitis C Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology 2020 September 29
Background and Aims: Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is a pangenotypic regimen recently approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The objective of the present review was to summarize the findings from clinical trials to understand how patient-related factors influence glecaprevir/pibrentasvir efficacy (sustained virologic response rates at 12 weeks' after treatment [referred to as SVR12]) and safety. Methods: Data from 21 phase III clinical trials were analyzed. Results: The integrated efficacy analysis included 4,817 patients. Findings showed 97.5% of all included patients with chronic HCV achieved SVR12 in the intention-to-treat population. SVR12 rate was >95% across subgroups of interest. The integrated safety analysis included 4,015 patients. Findings showed that 64.1% of patients reported an adverse event, and <0.1% of patients reported a serious adverse event related to glecaprevir/pibrentasvir. Conclusions: These results indicate that the 8- or 12-week glecaprevir/pibrentasvir treatment is effective for patients infected with HCV genotypes 1-6 without or with compensated cirrhosis, with good safety profiles, irrespective of treatment-experience. Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is a good option for patients with human immunodeficiency virus/HCV coinfection and comorbid HCV and severe renal impairment.
