BACKGROUND: Acute hepatitis C virus (AHC) infection is increasingly common among HIV+ men who have sex with men (MSM). Until 2017, the guidelines recommended therapy with pegylated-interferon plus ribavirin with a mild sustained virological response (SVR). This prompted many patients to reject that treatment, at that time, waiting to be treated with better and safer options with new Direct-Acting-Antivirals (DAA).
OBJECTIVES: Assess the efficacy and safety of Elbasvir/Grazoprevir to treat recent chronic hepatitis C infection, genotype 1 or 4, in HIV+ MSM patients.
METHODS: Prospective, open-labeled, two center, pilot study. SVR is analyzed for treatment with Elbasvir/Grazoprevir (8 weeks in GT1b or 12 in GT1a or GT4) in patients with a recent chronic HCV infection, defined as HCV infection lasting less than 4 years and mild liver fibrosis (liver stiffness <8kPa).
RESULTS: Forty-eight patients were included (May 2017-March 2018): 2 GT1b, 24 GT1a and 22 GT4. HCV-RNA>800000UI in 63% and medium liver stiffness 4.9kPa. The SVR was 98%, one patient failed due to poor adherence. 67% of patients had adverse effects, but only 16% treatment related. The most frequent side effects were gastrointestinal (19%), related with the central nervous system (18%), respiratory (16%) and systemic symptoms (15%). During one year of follow-up post-therapy, 4 AHC and 18 patients with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) were diagnosed.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with Elbasvir/Grazoprevir in this scenario is highly effective and safe. Patients with risky sexual practices must remain linked to the medical care system to detect new STD and HCV reinfection.
