First-Generation PI Triple Therapy in Transplantation Recipients Positives Higher response rates more cures SVR rates similar to non transplantation patients Negatives Greater adverse effects, requiring high intensity of monitoring Significant DDIs with CNIs/mTORi kidney toxicity, rejection risk Limited eligibility for treatment
Opportunities and Challenges Prior to Transplant We now have pre-olt therapy that can prevent reinfection of graft No dose adjustment of SOF required Anemia with RBV more problematic in more advanced liver disease Data thus far only in Childs A/B with CTP 7, MELD < 22, HCC within Milan criteria Unknown: MELD > 22, CTP > 7 Duration of therapy 24-48 wks can make timing of transplant difficult for some centers SVR (SOF/SIM) may be a more cost-effective goal than suppression (SOF/RBV) Elimination of RBV also more effective Additional data required in those with more advanced disease Ascites and encephalopathy may improve Kwo Clinical Care Options
