Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir: a highly effective option for retreatment of hepatitis C in difficult-to-treat patients.

Abstract

Treatment for hepatitis C has escalated rapidly since the advent of direct-acting antivirals. Although there are highly efficacious, pangenotypic regimens available as standard of care, 5-10% of patients do not achieve virological cure. The recently approved fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir and voxilaprevir provides an option for retreatment in patients who have failed prior regimens and have characteristics which make them difficult to treat. This review provides a summary of the evidence for use of Vosevi®, a fixed-dose combination pill for treatment of hepatitis C in treatment-experienced patients.
