Recommended regimens listed by pangenotypic, evidence level and alphabetically for:

Treatment-Naive and -Experienced Patients With Genotype 1-6 Infection in the Allograft and Decompensated Cirrhosisa

RECOMMENDED DURATION RATING
Daily fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir (400 mg)/velpatasvir (100 mg)/ ribavirin starting at 600 mg and increased as toleratedb 12 to 24 weeksc I, B
Genotype 1, 4, 5, or 6 only: Daily fixed-dose combination of ledipasvir (90 mg)/sofosbuvir (400 mg) with low initial dose of ribavirin (600 mg, increase as tolerated)b 12 to 24 weeksc I, B
a Includes CTP class B and class C patients.
b The starting dose of ribavirin should be 600 mg/d and increased or decreased as tolerated. If renal dysfunction is present, a lower starting dose is recommended. Maximum ribavirin dose is 1000 mg/d if <75 kg and 1200 mg/d if ≥75 kg body weight.
c 24-week treatment duration is recommended if treatment experienced.

 

Recommended regimen for:

DAA-Experienced Patients With Genotype 1-6 Infection in the Allograft, With or Without Compensated Cirrhosisa

RECOMMENDED DURATION RATING
Daily fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir (400 mg)/velpatasvir (100 mg)/voxilaprevir (100 mg)b 12 weeks I, C
a Excludes CTP class B and class C patients.
b For patients with cirrhosis plus multiple negative baseline characteristic, consideration should be given to adding ribavirin. The starting dose of ribavirin should be 600 mg/d and increased or decreased as tolerated. If renal dysfunction is present, a lower starting dose is recommended. Maximum ribavirin dose is 1000 mg/d if <75 kg and 1200 mg/d if ≥75 kg body weight.

Cyclosporine (CSA)

Tacrolimus (TAC)

Sofosbuvir (SOF) 4.5-fold ↑ in SOF AUC, but GS-331007 metabolite unchanged; no a priori dose adjustment No interaction observed; no a priori dose adjustment
Ledipasvir No data; no a priori dose adjustment No data; no a priori dose adjustment
Elbasvir / grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) 15-fold ↑ in GZR AUC and 2-fold ↑ in EBR AUC; combination is not recommended 43% ↑ in TAC; no a priori dose adjustment
Velpatasvir No interaction observed; no a priori dose adjustment No data; no a priori dose adjustment
Glecaprevir / pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) 5-fold ↑ in GLE AUC with higher doses (400 mg) of CSA; not recommended in patients requiring stable CSA doses >100 mg/day 1.45-fold ↑ in TAC AUC; no a priori dose adjustment; monitor TAC levels and titrate TAC dose as needed
Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) 9.4-fold ↑ in VOX AUC; combination is not recommended No data; no a priori dose adjustment
