Abstract

This pilot retrospective study included historical analyses of patients who received DAA treatment in the pharmacist-led HCV treatment program in a FQHC clinic between 1 January 2019 and 31 January 2021. SVR was the primary outcome measure for treatment response. Sixty-seven patients with HCV mono- and HIV co-infection were referred, and 59 patients were initiated on DAA regimens after treatment. Fifty of those who were started on DAA regimens completed their treatment, and 38 achieved SVR (modified intention to treat [mITT] SVR rate of 76%). Our study's findings demonstrated SVR rates that were comparable with other pharmacist-directed HCV treatment services in the United States despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study included a higher proportion of individuals with HCV/HIV co-infection and of Hispanic ethnicity.
