Background And Aims: Presence of active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may influence the outcome of patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although this issue has never been adequately assessed in a large series of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of active HCV affects the survival of patients treated for HCC.

Methods: This study assessed the outcome of 3123 anti-HCV-positive patients with HCC, subdivided according to the presence of active HCV infection or previous sustained virological response (SVR).

Background: Liver biopsy (LB) is still the gold standard method for assessing hepatic fibrosis (HF), associated diseases, and liver inflammation. Nowadays, noninvasive techniques such as Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography have been introduced instead of liver biopsy. However, there are controversies about the time it should be performed after treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Background And Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of children with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) at 1 year after the effective treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL).

Methods: All 50 patients treated for CHC with a fixed dose SOF/VEL in the noncommercial, nonrandomized, open-label PANDAA-PED study achieved sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after the end of treatment. Evaluation of HRQL at 1-year posttreatment was compared with the baseline (before the treatment) assessment.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease. Although interferon-free direct-acting antivirals have led to significant advancements in the treatment of HCV infection, the high genetic variability of the virus and the emergence of acquired drug resistance pose potential threats to their effectiveness. In this study, we develop a broad-spectrum aptamer-based proteolysis targeting chimera, designated dNS5B, which effectively degrades both pan-genotypic NS5B polymerase and drug-resistant mutants through ubiquitin proteasome system.
