Background: With the advent of efficacious oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV), identification of characteristics associated with adherence is critical to treatment success. We examined correlates of sub-optimal adherence to HCV therapy in a single-arm, multinational, clinical trial.

Methods: ACTG A5360 enrolled HCV treatment-naive persons without decompensated cirrhosis from 5 countries.

Background: We investigated real-world effectiveness and safety of sofosbuvir and the nonstructural protein 5A inhibitors in the treatment of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6.

Methods: We analyzed data from 1021 patients with HCV infection (506 with genotype 1; 16 with genotype 2; 314 with genotype 3; 13 with genotype 4; 166 with genotype 6) who received 12 to 24 weeks of daclatasvir plus sofosbuvir (n = 767), ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (n = 197), or sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (n = 57), with or without ribavirin in 12 centers across Thailand to estimate sustained virologic response at post-treatment week 12 (SVR12).

Results: Overall, SVR12 rate was 98.
