Sofosbuvir plus glecaprevir/pibrentasvir as salvage therapy after liver transplantation in NS5A inhibitor-experienced patients. A case series
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with direct-acting antivirals achieves a sustained virologic response rate higher than 95%. However, virologic failure remains a clinical challenge, and data on retreatment are limited, especially in special populations such as liver transplant (LT) recipients. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the sofosbuvir plus glecaprevir-pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) regimen in LT recipients who had failed to a nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor-based regimen. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of 111 liver transplant recipients between January 2018 and December 2020; 18 patients presented with HCV recurrent infection after LT, out of whom three had a history of at least one NS5A inhibitor-based regimen. Salvage therapy with sofosbuvir plus GLE/PIB was started for 12 weeks; baseline characteristics and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS: All three patients (100%) achieved an undetectable HCV viral load 12 weeks after treatment completion. No serious adverse events were observed. CONCLUSION: In our series, sofosbuvir plus GLE/PIB for 12 weeks is an effective and safe salvage therapy after LT in patients previously treated with NS5A inhibitors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
