Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir Plus Ribavirin Combination Therapy for Patients with Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1a, 2a, or 3b after Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir Therapy Failed

Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is a pan-genotype anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy with high efficacy and safety. However, evidence supporting retreatment following failure of the GLE/PIB regimen is limited. We herein report 3 non-cirrhotic cases involving two men aged 51 and 58 years old and a woman aged 68 years old infected with HCV genotype 1a, 2a, and 3b respectively who failed anti-HCV therapies including GLE/PIB therapy. With combination therapy of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir plus ribavirin (SOF/VEL+RBV) for 24 weeks, all 3 patients had achieved a sustained viral response (SVR) at 24 weeks after completing treatment. SOF/VEL+RBV therapy was effective for retreatment of HCV after failure of GLE/PIB therapy.
