        | Core Tip | The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor ABT-267 (ombitasvir, OBV), HCV NS4/4A protease inhibitor ABT-450 (paritaprevir, PTV), CYP3A inhibitor ritonavir (r) and non-nucleoside NS5B polymerase inhibitor ABT-333 (dasabuvir, DSV) (OBV/PTV/r + DSV) with or without ribavirin (RBV) is an approved direct-acting antiviral regimen less frequently studied in an all-comers population.  This study included 96 all-comers; many had comorbidities (44.2% hypertensive, 33.7% obese, 20.2% cirrhotic) and 16% previously failed HCV treatment. In these patients, 12 or 24-wk of OBV/PTV/r + DSV +/- RBV was highly effective (99% sustained virologic response for 12 wk treatment), tolerable and resulted in better mental and physical health. |
