Efficacy of PegIFN/RBV Plus Boceprevir or Telaprevir for Genotype 1 HCV Recurrence Following Liver Transplantation Tempered by Adverse Events

Patients experiencing recurrence of genotype 1 HCV infections following liver transplantation achieved SVR12 with boceprevir plus pegIFN/RBV of 51% and 41% achieved SVR12 with telaprevir plus pegIFN/RBV, but ≥ 50% discontinued therapy due to adverse events or virologic failure.

Meta-analysis of Individual Patient Data From 10 Studies Indicates That Patients With HCV-Associated Cirrhosis Remain at Risk for Developing HCC After Achieving SVR

Meta-analysis of data from 10 patient cohort studies found that the ongoing risk of developing HCC for patients with HCV-induced cirrhosis and who achieve SVR is approximately 1% with the risk increasing with advanced age, more severe liver disease, or diabetes.
