RESUMO

Despite the high efficacy of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), the selection of resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) after virological failure of hepatitis C virus (HCV) DAAs can impair the cure of chronic HCV. The aim of the study was to characterize RASs after virological failure of DAAs in Italy over the years. Within the Italian network VIRONET-C, the change in prevalence of NS3/4A-NS5A-NS5B RASs was retrospectively evaluated in patients who failed a DAA regimen over the years 2015-2019. NS3, NS5A and NS5B Sanger sequencing was performed using homemade protocols and the geno2pheno system was used to define HCV-genotype/subtype and predict drug resistance. The changes in the prevalence of RASs over time were evaluated using the chi-square test for trend. Predictors of RASs at failure were analysed by logistic regression. Among 468 HCV-infected patients, HCV genotype 1 was the most prevalent (1b in 154, 33% and 1a in 109, 23%). DAA regimens were: ledipasvir (LDV)/sofosbuvir (SOF) in 131 patients (28%), daclatasvir (DCV)/SOF in 109 (23%), ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir+dasabuvir (3D) in 89 (19%), elbasvir (EBR)/grazoprevir (GRZ) in 52 (10.5%), velpatasvir (VEL)/SOF in 53 (11%), glecaprevir (GLE)/pibrentasvir (PIB) in 27 (6%) and ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (2D) in 7 (1.5%); ribavirin was administered in 133 (28%). The NS5A fasta sequence was available for all patients, NS5B and NS3/4A both for 93%. The prevalence of NS5A and NS3/4A RASs significantly declined from 2015 to 2019; NS5B RAS remained stable. Independent predictors of any RASs included older age and genotype 1a (vs G2 and vs G4). Notably, at least partial susceptibility to all the agents included in the GLE/PIB and VEL/SOF/Voxilaprevir (VOX) combinations was predicted in >95% of cases. As RASs remain common at the failure of DAAs, their identification could play a crucial role in optimizing re-treatment strategies. In Italy RAS prevalence has been decreasing over the years and susceptibility to the latest developed drug combinations is maintained in most cases.

RESUMO

Nowadays, due to the development of potent Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents (DAAs) that specifically target NS3, NS5A and NS5B viral proteins, several new and highly efficacious options to treat chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are available. The natural presence of resistance associated substitutions (RASs), as well as their rapid emergence during incomplete drug-pressure, are intrinsic characteristics of HCV that greatly affect treatment outcome and the chances to achieve a virolgical cure. To date, a high number of RASs in NS3, NS5A, and NS5B have been associated in vivo and/or in vitro with reduced susceptibility to DAAs, but no comprehensive RASs list is available. This review thus provides an updated, systematic overview of the role of RASs to currently approved DAAs or in phase II/III of clinical development against HCV-infection, discriminating their impact in different HCV-genotypes and DAAs, providing assistance for a fruitful use of HCV resistance testing in clinical practice.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Despite the excellent efficacy of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) reported in clinical trials, virological failures can occur, often associated with the development of resistance-associated substitutions (RASs). This study aimed to characterize the presence of clinically relevant RASs to all classes in real-life DAA failures. METHODS: Of the 200 virological failures that were analyzed in 197 DAA-treated patients, 89 with pegylated-interferon+ribavirin (PegIFN+RBV) and 111 without (HCV-1a/1b/1g/2/3/4=58/83/1/6/24/25; 56.8% treatment experienced; 65.5% cirrhotic) were observed. Sanger sequencing of NS3/NS5A/NS5B was performed by home-made protocols, at failure (N=200) and whenever possible at baseline (N=70). RESULTS: The majority of the virological failures were relapsers (57.0%), 22.5% breakthroughs, 20.5% non-responders. RAS prevalence varied according to IFN/RBV use, DAA class, failure type and HCV genotype/subtype. It was 73.0% in IFN group vs 49.5% in IFN free, with the highest prevalence of NS5A-RASs (96.1%), compared to NS3-RASs (75.9% with IFN, 70.5% without) and NS5B-RASs (66.6% with IFN, 20.4% without, in sofosbuvir failures). In the IFN-free group, RASs were higher in breakthrough/non-responders than in relapsers (90.5% vs 40.0%, P<.001). Interestingly, 57.1% of DAA IFN-free non-responders had a misclassified genotype, and 3/4 sofosbuvir breakthroughs showed the major-RAS-S282T, while RAS-L159F was frequently found in sofosbuvir relapsers (18.2%). Notably, 9.0% of patients showed also extra target RASs, and 47.4% of patients treated with ≥2 DAA classes showed multiclass resistance, including 11/11 NS3+NS5A failures. Furthermore, 20.0% of patients had baseline-RASs, which were always confirmed at failure. CONCLUSIONS: In our failure setting, RAS prevalence was remarkably high in all genes, with a partial exception for NS5B, whose limited resistance is still higher than previously reported. This multiclass resistance advocates for HCV resistance testing at failure, in all three genes for the best second-line therapeutic tailoring.

RESUMO

A patient classified as HCV-1a-positive by both LiPA Siemens 2.0 and Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II was instead found to be infected with HCV-1g, as determined by phylogenetic analysis of NS3 sequences. HCV-1g NS3 sequences available to date naturally harbour the resistance substitution T54S, plus P131S and L135F changes, located in the highly conserved NS3 positions within the boceprevir-binding site, as determined by structural modelling. HCV-1g NS3 sequences show some similarities to HCV-4 and are poorly responsive to interferon/ribavirin and to boceprevir/telaprevir; this patient was also a null-responder to boceprevir treatment. Baseline genotypic resistance testing may provide crucial information for the management of first-generation protease-inhibitor-based regimens, including both HCV genotype/subtype and natural resistance.
