“Silent Epidemic”
 NHANES survey: estimated unidentified
HCV infections – 43%
 May 2011: U.S. Viral Hepatitis Action
Plan
 Federal platform
 Educate providers and communities
 Increase awareness, testing and linkage to
care
 USPSTF has aligned with CDC on testing
recommendations – Grade B

Sources of Infection with HCV
Indications for HCV screening?
• HIV
• IDU
• History of chronic HD, transfusion, blood
product or organ transplant prior to 1992
• Unexplained persistent elevation in ALT
(?RNA)
• and….
Hepatitis C: Screening guidelines
• CDC 2012:
• Recommendations for the Identification of
Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among
Persons Born During 1945–1965
• Recommendations and Reports, August 17,
2012
…one-time testing without prior ascertainment of
HCV risk for persons born during 1945 -1965, a
population with a disproportionately high prevalence
of HCV infection and related disease.
2013: Update of Guidance for
Clinicians and Laboratories
• MMWR May 2013
• Availability of rapid test for HCV antibody
(OraQuick)
– Fingerstick or venipuncture
– CLIA waiver by FDA in 2011
• Discontinuation of the RIBA HCV
• Recommended testing sequence:

DM is referred to you after her primary care
physician performed hepatitis C antibody testing
as part of routine evaluation, which was positive.
She would like you to explain the chances that
she does NOT have chronic hepatitis C infection.

HCV Treatment Goals
 Goals of treatment for chronic HCV
 Viral eradication (undetectable viral load)
 Delay progression of fibrosis
 Prevent decompensation, HCC, and death
 Best indicator of successful treatment is
sustained virologic response (SVR)
Sustained virologic response
 SVR: serum HCV RNA is undetectable based
on a quantitative HCV RNA assay with lower
limit of detection of 50 IU/mL or less at 24
weeks after treatment ends
 SVR 12: …12 weeks after treatment ends
 RVR
 EVR

Ribavirin
 Nucleoside analog
 Inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase
 Potentiates purine analogs, ie didanosine
 Immune modulator, shift from Th2 to Th1 response
 Teratogenic
 both men and women must use contraception
during and for 6 months after treatment
 Dose-dependent hemolytic anemia
 Increased risk for lactic acidosis

What Are the Key Elements of an
Ideal HCV Regimen?
Easy Dosing

burden
Highly Effective
All Oral
High efficacy in
traditionally challenging
populations (ie, poor
IFN sensitivity, cirrhosis)
PegIFN/RBV replaced
with alternate backbone
with low chance of
resistance
Simple Regimen
Short duration, simple,
straightforward
stopping rules
Pan-Genotypic
Regimen can be used
across all genotypes
Safe and Tolerable
Few or easily
manageable adverse
effects

Relapse
Summary of Key Conclusions
• 12-week course of TVR with 24 or 48 weeks of
pegIFN/RBV increased SVR rates in treatmentnaive patients infected with genotype 1 HCV vs 48
weeks of pegIFN/RBV alone
• TVR also resulted in higher rate of RVR and lower
relapse rate compared with pegIFN/RBV
• TVR increased rate of treatment discontinuation
due to adverse effects, predominantly anemia,
rash, rectal symptoms (FIARRHEA)
• Small subset experienced virologic breakthrough
with protease resistance mutations

Question
 A 44 year old male with a history of prior heroin abuse
(clean for 1 year +) is referred for hepatitis C therapy. His
HCV RNA level is 5.2 million IU/mL, genotype 1b, ALT 65,
and there are no stigmata or lab values to suggest ESLD.
He does have a history of depression and anxiety, requiring
mirtazapine and citalopram therapy. How should you
proceed?
 A) get a liver biopsy – this will help me decide
 B) He cannot receive therapy due to
comorbidities
 C) Treat with just IFN/ribavirin, he will not likely
tolerate a PI
 D) Treat with just telaprevir, he will not likely
tolerate IFN
 E) wait for something better

• Enter the Nonspecialist:
– Will Evolving Hepatitis C Therapies Reduce
the Need for Specialized Care?
– Graham R. Foster, FRCP, PhD - 10/8/2013
“A rapid expansion of patients and providers will mirror improving efficacies and
gentler adverse event profiles…the introduction of a single-tablet regimen for
HCV therapy—a development that will propel hepatitis C care to its future in
nonspecialist providers offices. Information will be the key to overcoming
preconceptions about adverse events and regimen complexities, finally allowing
nonspecialists to take a central role in caring for HCV-infected patients”.
