1 Cirrhosis/ESLD management 1 Need to Know Ques2ons Marion Peters MD UCSF December Once a pa2ent with HCV is imaged to look for cirrhosis and none is found, how omen should I repeat imaging in the future? 2. For HCC screening, in my HIV- HBV pa2ent and HIV- HCV cirrho2cs- does it maser if I use US or CT? 3. For HCC screening, How omen should I send an AFP, if ever? 4. Who should get an EGD? If no varices are found on the EGD, does it need to be repeated in the future? 5. Who needs propranolol? And once I start, how should I 2trate up? Cirrhosis/ESLD management 1. Once a pa2ent with HCV is imaged to look for cirrhosis and none is found, how omen should I repeat imaging in the future? 2. For HCC screening, in my HIV- HBV pa2ent and HIV- HCV cirrho2cs- does it maser if I use US or CT? 3. For HCC screening, How omen should I send an AFP, if ever? 4. Who should get an EGD? If no varices are found on the EGD, does it need to be repeated in the future? 5. Who needs propranolol? And once I start, how should I 2trate up? How to diagnose cirrhosis Ultrasound of CT poor at diagnosis of early cirrhosis: sensi2vity %; specificity % Portal hypertension Low platelets, splenomegaly, spider nevi Imaging with evidence of nodularity or PHTN Assess fibrosis Liver biopsy Serum tests: AI, FIB- 4, fibrosure Elastography 1

3 Cirrhosis/ESLD management Once a pa2ent with HCV is imaged to look for cirrhosis and none is found, how omen should I repeat imaging in the future? For HCC screening, in my HIV- HBV pa2ent and HIV- HCV cirrho2cs- does it maser if I use US or CT? For HCC screening, How omen should I send an AFP, if ever? Who should get an EGD? If no varices are found on the EGD, does it need to be repeated in the future? Who needs propranolol? And once I start, how should I 2trate up? Ultrasound of the liver and alpha-fetoprotein every 6 months HCC screening was found to reduce mortality by 37% in a RCT of 18,816 HBV persons in Shanghai CT or MRI showing typical HCC characteristics * * Arterial phase hypervascularity and delayed phase washout HCC supplied by hepatic artery, rest PV Requires intravenous contrast and multi-phase imaging Quality of imaging and interpretation of findings Arterial Phase Enhancement Portal Venous phase washout 3
4 Cirrhosis/ESLD management Once a pa2ent with HCV is imaged to look for cirrhosis and none is found, how omen should I repeat imaging in the future? For HCC screening, in my HIV- HBV pa2ent and HIV- HCV cirrho2cs- does it maser if I use US or CT? For HCC screening, How omen should I send an AFP, if ever? Who should get an EGD? If no varices are found on the EGD, does it need to be repeated in the future? Who needs propranolol? And once I start, how should I 2trate up? Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) - Not always reliable (normal < 8.5 ng/ml) - 2-% with liver cancer have normal AFP - 3-% without liver cancer with viral hepatitis have abnormal AFP - The higher the AFP the more likely the diagnosis of liver cancer: > ng/ml strongly suspicious for HCC (low sensitivity) - No longer recommended by AASLD but in EASL APASL guidelines Cirrhosis/ESLD management Des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) (PIVKA-II) Marrero JA et.al.

My pa2ent with HCV and HIV is star2ng ART now and wants to get HCV treatment in the next few years. What are the best ART combina2ons to take to minimize drug/drug interac2ons? 2. Can I use any of the new DAA s in my genotype 2/3 HCV pa2ents? 3. Can I use response guided therapy (shortening therapy to 24 weeks based on early virologic response) in my HIV/HCV coinfected pa2ents receiving triple therapy with PEG/RBV/HCV protease inhibitor? 4. My pa2ent took IFN+ RBV in the past for HCV but did not get an and wants to be retreated with IFN/RBV/Telaprevir. Could the previous unsuccessful treatment have led to drug resistance to ribavirin and/or IFN? 5. Is prior hepa2c decompensa2on a contraindica2on to IFN- free treatment? Treatment ques2ons 1. My pa2ent with HCV and HIV is star2ng ART now and wants to get HCV treatment in the next few years. What are the best ART combina2ons to take to minimize drug/drug interac2ons? 2.

Could the previous unsuccessful treatment have led to drug resistance to ribavirin and/or IFN? 5. Is prior hepa2c decompensa2on a contraindica2on to IFN- free treatment? HCV HIV and ART Drug drug interac2ons will differ depending upon which ART, which direct ac2ng an2viral (DAA) and what other drugs are being taken for co- morbidi2es Some newer DAA have fewer or different DDI than current HCV PI s 6
7 Contraindicated Drugs With Telaprevir & Boceprevir Common denominator is interaction with CYP3A4 interactions may occur via inhibition OR induction HIV protease inhibitors Alfuzosin, Rifampin Ergot derivatives Cisapride St. John s wort Lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin (telaprevir) Sildenafil or tadalafil Oral midazolam, triazolam Consult package inserts for other established and potential Drosperinone drug-drug interactions (boceprevir) HIV HCVg1 and NS3 Peg/Riba Therapy Pa2ents not on ART: Use either boceprevir or telaprevir Pa2ents receiving RAL + 2- NRTI: Use either boceprevir or telaprevir Pa2ents receiving ATV/r + 2- NRTI: Use telaprevir at standard dose. Pa2ents receiving EFV + 2- NRTI: Use telaprevir at increased dose of 1125 mg every 7 9 hours Other ART: research studies E.g. A5294 for PI with BOC PegIFN RBV (LPV, ATV, DRV) Treatment ques2ons 1.
