Abstract:
Background and Aims Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir is a pangenotypic regimen for chronic HCV infection. In the USA and Europe, sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir once daily for 12 weeks is indicated for adults who previously received an HCV NS5A inhibitor. In Europe, sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir is also indicated in the absence of prior HCV direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy as an 8-week or 12-week regimen. In an open-label study, we evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir in adolescents 12 to 17 years with chronic HCV of any genotype. Methods In this Phase 2, multicenter study, sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir 400/100/100 mg daily was administered to adolescents for 8 weeks if DAA-naive or for 12 weeks for cirrhosis or prior DAA failure. The key efficacy endpoint was sustained virologic response 12 weeks after therapy (SVR12). Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was done in 14 patients at week 2 or 4, and samples for population pharmacokinetics were collected in all patients. Results All patients (n = 21) were naive to HCV DAAs, and none had cirrhosis. HCV genotype 3a infection was most common, occurring in 43% of patients. Overall, 100% of patients (21 of 21) reached SVR12. The most common adverse events were abdominal pain and headache (24% each) and nausea (19%); no adverse events led to discontinuation. The only serious adverse event, hypotension, was considered related to study drug and resolved the same day without interruption of treatment. Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir exposures were similar to those observed in adults. Conclusions The pangenotypic regimen of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir is highly efficacious and well-tolerated in treating chronic HCV infection in adolescents.
