Effectiveness and safety of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for 8 weeks in the treatment of patients with acute hepatitis C: A single-arm retrospective study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: No direct-acting antiviral is currently approved for acute HCV infection, delaying treatment. We investigated the effectiveness and safety of 8-week glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) in patients with acute HCV infection. APPROACH AND RESULTS: This noninterventional, single-arm, retrospective chart review was designed to enroll adults/adolescents with acute HCV infection. Analyses were conducted on a full analysis set (FAS; all enrolled) and modified FAS (FAS excluding nonvirologic failures). The primary end point (modified FAS) was sustained virologic response at posttreatment week 12 (SVR12) with superiority to 92.6% threshold determined by historic chronic HCV G/P SVR12 rates. Secondary end points (FAS) included SVR12, on-treatment virologic failure, posttreatment relapse, and reinfection. Adverse events and safety laboratory values were assessed.Overall, 202 adults were enrolled; in the modified FAS, 150/151 (99.3%; 95% CI: 96.3-99.9) achieved SVR12, demonstrating superiority to efficacy threshold. In the FAS, the SVR12 rate was 74.3% and the on-treatment virologic failure rate was 0%. Relapse and reinfection rates after the final treatment visit (FAS) were 0.5% and 3%, respectively; 39 patients had missing SVR12 data. No on-treatment alanine aminotransferase elevations > 3 × upper limit of normal with total bilirubin > 2 × upper limit of normal were reported. All 53 patients with alanine aminotransferase Grade ≥ 2 at baseline improved to Grade 0/1 on treatment. No adverse eventss of hepatic decompensation/failure or leading to G/P discontinuation occurred. Two patients had serious adverse events unrelated to G/P. CONCLUSIONS: Eight-week G/P therapy was effective and well-tolerated in patients with acute HCV infection. Data support further investigation of G/P in acute HCV to shorten care cascades, reduce transmission, and support HCV elimination.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
