Background: Available real-world data on the efficacy and safety of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) in pediatric patients are limited. In this prospective, open-label, single-center study, we aimed to present our real-life experience with a fixed dose of LDV/SOF (90/400 mg) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotypes 1 and 4 in children aged 12 to 17 years. Methods: We analyzed intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) rates of sustained virological response (SVR), defined as undetectable HCV viral load at posttreatment week 12, in 37 participants treated with LDV/SOF according to the HCV genotype, baseline liver fibrosis, duration of treatment, and experience of the previous ineffective antiviral treatment. There were 32 patients infected with genotype 1 and 5 with genotype 4. Fourteen (38%) participants were treatment-experienced, two were coinfected with HIV, and three were cirrhotic. Two patients qualified for 24 weeks of therapy, and the remaining 35 received 12 weeks of LDV/SOF treatment. Results: The overall ITT SVR12 rate was 36/37 (97%). One patient was lost to follow-up after week 4 of therapy when his HCV RNA was undetectable. All 36 patients who completed the full protocol achieved SVR (36/36, 100%). PP analyses of SVR12 rates according to the HCV genotype, baseline liver fibrosis, duration of the treatment, and previous ineffective treatment were all 100%. A significant decrease in aminotransferase serum levels was observed in the subsequent weeks of the treatment and at SVR assessment compared to baseline. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions: The results of this study confirm previous observations of a suitable efficacy and safety profile of LDV/SOF for the treatment of CHC genotypes 1 and 4 in adolescents.

Complications of hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection cause ~400,000 deaths worldwide annually. One complication, liver fibrosis, is influenced by host genetic factors. Genes influencing fibrosis include immune, metabolic, oxidative stress, and viral entry genes, such as interleukin 10 (IL10), microsomal triglyceride-transfer protein (MTP), superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2), and apolipoprotein E (APOE)-encoding genes, respectively. Thus, correlating variations in these genes with HCV-induced fibrosis represents an attractive biomarker for the prognosis of fibrosis severity in chronically infected patients. Here, we aimed to test whether polymorphisms in IL10, MTP, SOD2, and APOE genes correlated with the severity of fibrosis induced by HCV genotype 4 (HCV-gt4) in a cohort of chronically infected Egyptian patients. Our results demonstrate a significant association between the severity of fibrosis and specific SNPs in IL-10, SOD2, and ApoE-encoding genes. Haplotype-combination analysis for IL10, MTP, SOD2, and APOE showed statistically significant associations between specific haplotype combinations and fibrosis severity. Identifying biomarkers correlating with the severity of HCV-gt4-induced fibrosis would significantly impact precision prophylaxis and treatment of patients at risk.
