Objective. To evaluate the efficiency and safety of 12-week therapy with paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir and dasabuvir in patients with cirrhosis at the outcome of genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C.
Subjects and methods. The study included 12 patients with classes A and B cirrhosis who had previously untreated or failed to respond to therapy with IFN-containing regimens. All the patients received paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir (75/50/12.5 mg) 2 tablets once daily and dasabuvir (250 mg) 1 tablet twice daily for 12 weeks.
Results. All the 12 patients completed a full therapy cycle. A sustained virologic response was obtained in all the patients at 12 and 24 weeks after treatment completion. The most common adverse events were weakness (33%) and headache (33%).
Conclusion. The results of therapy with paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir and dasabuvir allow it to be regarded as highly effective and safe for patients with HCV-related cirrhosis.
