Résumé

There are few data on the virological characterisation of patients with failure to current-generation direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), namely elbasvir/grazoprevir, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir. This study aimed to characterise virological patterns in patients with failure to current DAA regimens as well as the efficacy of re-treatment. All 61 consecutive hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment-naïve patients with failure to current DAAs from January 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled. Sanger sequencing of NS3, NS5A and NS5B proteins was performed using homemade protocols. NS5A resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) were more frequent in the 17 patients treated with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (89.5%) and 33 patients treated with elbasvir/grazoprevir (97%) compared with the 11 patients treated with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (18.2%) (P = 0.002 and 0.000, respectively). NS3 RASs were more often detected in the 33 patients with failure to elbasvir/grazoprevir (30.3%) than in the 11 patients treated with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (9.1%). NS3 RASs were also detected in 12% of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir-treated patients. NS5B RASs were infrequently identified. Of the glecaprevir/pibrentasvir-treated patients, 73% did not show RASs in any HCV regions, a prevalence higher than that observed in those treated with elbasvir/grazoprevir (0%; P < 0.05) or sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (12%; P < 0.05). Of the 61 patients, 21 (34.4%) were re-treated with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and voxilaprevir. All patients achieved sustained virological response at 12 weeks (SVR12). To our knowledge, this is one of the first real-life studies describing patients who failed current-generation DAAs; the prevalence of RASs differed according to the DAA regimen used, and the efficacy of re-treatment was high.
