Efficacy and Safety of Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir Plus Dasabuvir in Treating HCV Genotypes 1 and 4 in Patients with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease.

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OBV/PTV/r) combined with dasabuvir (DSV) for treating hepatitis C genotype 4 (GT4) and genotype 1 (GT1) in patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among 88 patients, including treatment-naïve and Peginterferon/Ribavirin (RBV)-experienced, treated with OBV/PTV/r±RBV (dosed between 200 mg per week to daily) and additional DSV for GT1, 94.3% achieved sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12), demonstrating high efficacy. RBV was used at the discretion of the treating physician. The treatment was well-tolerated, with two non-treatment-related deaths reported. The findings suggest that a 12-week regimen of OBV/PTV/r±DSV is highly effective and safe for GT1 and GT4 patients with advanced CKD, regardless of baseline characteristics.
