Only 5% DAA Failure Rate in Large French Cohort With HCV/HIV

Only 32 of 619 HCV/HIV-coinfected people in the French HEPAVIH cohort (5.2%) had virologic failure with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for HCV [1]. Pretreatment with non-DAA regimens and 12 versus 24 weeks of therapy predicted virologic failure in a marginal structural model.
 
HEPAVIH investigators noted that the main cause of DAA failure in people infected only with HCV is severity of cirrhosis, indicated by ascites, low albumin, or high total bilirubin. Because factors linked to DAA failure in HCV/HIV-coinfected people are not well established, the researchers conducted this study. They focused on coinfected cohort members taking a DAA regimen with or without ribavirin and without peg-interferon. No one was enrolled in clinical trials, and all had sustained virologic response (SVR) data available.
 
Among 623 people who met enrollment criteria, the researchers excluded 4 who prematurely stopped treatment because of intolerance or who died during treatment. Among the remaining 619 cohort members, 587 had an SVR and 32 (5.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.6 to 7.2) did not. Of these 32 virologic failures, the HEPAVIH investigators attributed 3 to nonresponse, 25 to relapse, 1 to breakthrough, and 3 to unknown causes.
 
People with virologic failure had a lower median CD4 count (505 versus 614, P = 0.008) and tended to include a lower proportion with an undetectable HIV load (75% versus 87%, P = 0.0606) and a lower platelet count (141 versus 172, P = 0.0669). Presence of cirrhosis or type of DAA regimen did not affect chances of virologic failure.
 
A marginal structural model adjusted for ribavirin use, age, sex, cirrhosis, HCV genotype, and CD4 count identified two independent predictors of virologic failure: Pretreatment with a non-DAA regimen almost tripled the chance of failure (odds ratio [OR] 2.8, 95% CI 1.2 to 6.2, P = 0.004), and DAA treatment for 24 weeks versus 12 weeks lowered the chance of failure 80% (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1 to 0.6, P = 0.01). Age, gender, HCV genotype, HIV load, and CD4 count did not predict failure in this analysis.
 
The investigators suggested that faulty DAA adherence may also have contributed to virologic failure, indicated by (1) suboptimal DAA concentrations in 4 of 10 people with virologic failure and pharmacologic data that could be interpreted, and (2) a higher rate of detectable HIV RNA among people with DAA failure in a separate logistic regression analysis (OR 2.1, 95% CI 0.9 to 5.1, P = 0.11).
