Patient survival in HCV-positive and HCV-negative individuals. ONT/ RETH (1991-2011) Hepatitis C recurrence after liver transplantation
3
65-year old patient with HCV-related liver cirrhosis An US examination reveals 2 HCC (3,5+1 cm diameter) After extensive evaluation the patient is included in the waiting list for liver transplantation. Treatment of hepatitis C in the waiting list of liver transplantation Genotype 1b IL28 CT; Viral load 830.000 IU/mL Previous therapy with PegIFN and RBV in 2008: partial responder (> 2 log decrease in VL at week 12).
4
Should we treat this patient in the waiting list? Bilirubin 1 mg/dL, albumin 39 g/dL, platelets 119.000 No ascites, transient elastography 19 kPa. What treatment would you propose? a) PegIFN + RBV b) PegIFN+RBV+PI (telaprevir/boceprevir) Treatment of hepatitis C in the waiting list of liver transplantation

Immunosuppression: tacrolimus 2 mg/d (levels 7 ng/mL) Treatment of hepatitis C in the liver transplant setting Bilirubin 1 mg/dL, AST 243 IU/L, GGT 323 IU/L, Br 1,6 mg/dL, Hb 12,6 g/L, platelets 121.000, neutrophils 2300 If we use a PI, use telaprevir or boceprevir?

Absorption Metabolism P-glycoprotein: absorption excretion of substrates CYP3A4: CsA and tacrolimus Protease inhibitors (PI): substrates and inhibitors CsA reduce to ~ 1/4 (200 mg/d to 50 mg/d) TAC reduce to ~ 1/30 (2 mg/d to 0.5 mg/week) Telaprevir: first day IS dosing CsA reduce to ~ 1/2 (200 mg/d to 100 mg/d) TAC reduce to ~ 1/8 (4 mg/d to 0.5 mg/d) Boceprevir: first day IS dosing Check every other day during first week of triple therapy (or until steady state) Back to baseline dose after IP interruption (check weekly for at least 1 month) Coilly et al, Liver Int 2013 Safety and efficacy of triple therapy in the LT setting
