Summary –In this phase II study, 12 weeks of oral treatment with grazoprevir and elbasvir, with or without RBV, was well tolerated and led to high rates of SVR 12 (87–98%) in previously untreated patients without cirrhosis with HCV genotype 1 monoinfection or HIV/HCV co-infection The addition of RBV was not associated with increased rates of SVR 12 Similar efficacy was seen in patients with genotype 1a and 1b SVR 12 was similar with 12 weeks of treatment in mono and co-infected patients 8 weeks of GZR + EBR + RBV led to suboptimal SVR 12, mainly because of relapse Patients with NS5A baseline resistance-associated variants had lower SVR 12 Virological relapse was associated with emergence of resistance-associated variants to one or both of the drugs (GZR, EBR) in the regimen Treatment-emergent, clinically significant, adverse events were infrequent No discontinuation for adverse event In HIV co-infected patients, adverse events were less frequently reported, and HIV suppression was maintained Sulkowski M.
