Abstract: International audience; Background & aims: Management of patients with cirrhosis includes endoscopic screening and surveillance to detect esophageal varices (EV) and prevent bleeding. However, the Baveno VI guidelines recommend avoiding endoscopies for patients with liver stiffness measurements below 20 kPa and platelet counts above 150,000 (favorable Baveno VI status) and endoscopic assessment of patients with higher levels of liver stiffness and platelet counts (unfavorable Baveno VI status). We aimed to validate the Baveno VI guidelines, evaluating outcomes of patients in the ANRS-CO12 CirVir cohort with compensated cirrhosis associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with or without a sustained response to antiviral therapy.Methods: We performed an ancillary study using data from 891 patients in the ANRS CO12 CirVir cohort, treated at 35 centers in France, with HCV or HBV infection and biopsy-proven cirrhosis, Child-Pugh A scores, no previous complications, and no hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent an endoscopic procedure and had interpretable liver stiffness measurements and platelet counts. Progression of portal hypertension (PHT) was defined as the onset of varices needing treatment (VNT) or PHT-related bleeding. An sustained response to antiviral therapy was defined as undetectable level of HCV RNA by polymerase chain reaction assay (

Abstract: Patients with chronic hepatitis C who achieve a sustained virological response (SVR) after antiviral treatment have improved survival and liver-related morbidity compared to non-SVR patients. However, long-term follow-up studies in SVR patients have shown that the regression of fibrosis varies and the risk of liver-related complications remains, even in the absence of cirrhosis. While patients with cirrhosis are still at risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity or alcohol consumption may play a major role in the outcome of liver disease in SVR patients without cirrhosis. The risk of re-infection is high in patients with a persistent risk of contamination such as IV drug users or men who have sex with men. Thus, in the era of highly efficient DAAs regimens, monitoring after a cure of HCV infection remains a major challenge in SVR patients. This review describes long-term HCV infection and liver-related outcomes in SVR patients, as well as the profile of patients who are still at risk of progression, and monitoring techniques including non-invasive markers for the assessment of fibrosis.

Abstract: Background & Aims: Peginterferon lambda-1a (lambda) is a Type-III interferon, which, like alfa interferons, has antiviral activity in vitro against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV); however, lambda has a more limited extra-hepatic receptor distribution. This phase 2b study (LIRA-B) evaluated lambda in patients with chronic HBV infection. Methods: Adult HBeAg+ interferon-naive patients were randomized (1:1) to weekly lambda (180 lug) or peginterferon alfa-2a (alfa) for 48 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was HBeAg seroconversion at week 24 post-treatment; lambda non inferiority was demonstrated if the 80% confidence interval (80% CI) lower bound was >-15%. Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced across groups (lambda N = 80; alfa N = 83). Early on-treatment declines in HBV-DNA and qHBsAg through week 24 were greater with lambda. HBeAg seroconversion rates were comparable for lambda and alfa at week 48 (17.5% vs. 16.9%, respectively); however lambda non-inferiority was not met at week 24 post-treatment (13.8% vs. 30.1%, respectively; lambda vs. alfa 80% CI lower bound -24%). Results for other key secondary endpoints (virologic, serologic, biochemical) and post hoc combined endpoints (HBV-DNA

Abstract: Background & Aims Non-alcoholic and alcohol-related fatty liver disease are overlapping diseases in which metabolic syndrome and alcohol consumption each contribute to progressive liver disease. We aimed to assess the effects of alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome on mortality in individuals with fatty liver. Methods We searched the National Health and Nutrition and Examination Survey III for adults (20–74 years old) with hepatic steatosis, detected by ultrasound, for whom mortality and follow-up data were available. We collected data from the alcohol use questionnaire (self-reported number of days a participant drank alcohol; the number of drinks [10 g alcohol] per day on a drinking day; the number of days the participant had 5 or more drinks) and calculated the average amount of alcohol consumption in drinks/day for each participant during the year preceding enrollment. Excessive alcohol consumption for men was >3 drinks/day and for women was >1.5 drinks/day. We also collected clinical data, and mortality data were obtained from the National Death Index. Demographic and clinical parameters were compared among consumption groups using the χ2 test for independence or survey regression models. We used Cox proportional hazard models to identify independent predictors of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Results The study cohort included 4264 individuals with hepatic steatosis (mean age, 45.9 years; 51% male; 76% white; 46% with metabolic syndrome; 6.2% with excessive alcohol use). There was no significant difference in mean age between individuals with vs without excessive alcohol consumption (P=.65). However, overall mortality was significantly higher among participants with excessive alcohol consumption (32.2%) vs participants with non-excessive alcohol use (22.2%) after mean 20 years of follow up (P=.003), as well as after 5 years of follow up. In multivariate analysis, the presence of metabolic syndrome (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.43; 95% CI, 1.12–1.83) and excessive alcohol consumption (aHR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.21–2.66) were independently associated with an increased risk of death in individuals with hepatic steatosis; any lower average amount of alcohol consumption was not associated with mortality (all P>.60). In a subgroup analysis, the association of excessive alcohol use with mortality was significant in individuals with metabolic syndrome (aHR, 2.46; 95% CI, 1.40–4.32) but not without it (P=.74). Conclusion In review of data from the National Health and Nutrition and Examination Survey III, we associated alcohol consumption with increased mortality in participants with fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. These findings indicate an overlap between non-alcoholic and alcohol-related fatty liver disease.

Abstract: International audience; Background & aims - Retrospective studies have found an unexpectedly high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated cirrhosis who received direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents. We analyzed data from the ANRS CO12 CirVir cohort to compare the incidence of HCC in patients with cirrhosis who received DAA therapy vs patients treated with interferon (IFN). Methods - Data were collected from 1270 patients with compensated biopsy-proven HCV-associated cirrhosis recruited from 2006 through 2012 at 35 centers in France. For descriptive purpose, patients were classified as follows: patients who received DAA treatment (DAA group, n = 336), patients who achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR) following an IFN-based regimen (SVR-IFN group, n = 495), or patients who never received DAA treatment and never had an SVR following IFN therapy (non-SVR group, n = 439). The patients were included in HCC surveillance programs based on ultrasound examination every 6 months, and clinical and biological data were recorded. To account for confounding by indication due to differences in patient characteristics at treatment initiation, we constructed a time-dependent Cox regression model weighted by the inverse probability of treatment and censoring (IPTCW) to assess the treatment effects of DAA on time until HCC. Results - Compared with patients in the SVR-IFN group, patients in the DAA group were older, higher proportions had diabetes or portal hypertension, and liver function was more severely impaired. The crude 3-year cumulative incidences of HCC were 5.9% in the DAA group, 3.1% in the SVR-IFN group, and 12.7% in the non-SVR group (overall P < .001; unadjusted hazard ratio [HR] for HCC 2.03; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-3.84; P = .030 for the DAA group vs the SVR-IFN group). HCC characteristics were similar among groups. Among patients with HCC, the DAA group received less-frequent HCC screening than the other 2 groups (P = .002). After Cox analyses weighted by the IPTCW, we found no statistically significant increase in risk of HCC associated with DAA use (HR 0.89; 95% CI 0.46-1.73; P = .73). Conclusions - Analysis of data from the ANRS CO12 CirVir cohort reveals that the apparent increase in HCC incidence observed in patients with cirrhosis treated with DAAs compared with patients who achieved SVR following an IFN therapy can be explained by patient characteristics (age, diabetes, reduced liver function) and lower screening intensity.

Abstract: International audience; Background & aims - Semi-annual surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is recommended for patients with cirrhosis. We aimed to determine how compliance with HCC surveillance guidelines affects survival times of patients with hepatitis C virus- or hepatitis B virus-associated compensated cirrhosis who developed HCC. Methods - We collected data from the prospective ANRS CO12 CirVir study, from March 2006 through June 2012, on 1671 patients with biopsy-proven viral cirrhosis and no previous liver complications who were undergoing surveillance for HCC at 35 centers in France. Only 216 patients who developed HCC during the follow-up period were included in the analysis. Patients were considered to be compliant with surveillance guidelines if the time between their last surveillance image evaluation and diagnosis of HCC were fewer than 7 months and noncompliant if this time was 7 months or longer. Results - HCC was detected in 216 patients, at a median follow-up time of 59.7 months. Of these patients, 140 (80.5%) were Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage 0/A, 135 (69.9%) received first-line curative treatment (15 underwent transplantation, 29 underwent resection, 89 received percutaneous ablation, and 2 received resection and percutaneous ablation), and 129 (60.0%) were compliant with surveillance guidelines. Seventy-nine of the patients with HCC died; 49 deaths were associated with tumor progression. After lead-time adjustment, overall survival (OS) time was longer in patients compliant with surveillance guidelines (median OS time, 53.2 months) than noncompliant patients (median OS time, 25.4 months) (P = .0107); this difference remained significant even when we changed lead time assumptions. In multivariate analysis adjusted for a propensity score, compliance with HCC surveillance guidelines was associated with low tumor burden, allocation of curative treatment, and increased OS time compared with noncompliance (hazard ratio for OS, 2.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-4.14; P = .0150). Conclusions - In an analysis of data from the ANRS CO12 CirVir cohort, we associated compliance with HCC surveillance guidelines (fewer than 7 months between image evaluations) with early diagnosis, allocation of curative treatment, and longer adjusted OS of patients with hepatitis C virus- or hepatitis B virus-associated compensated cirrhosis and a diagnosis of HCC.

Abstract: Summary Background Direct-acting antiviral regimens containing NS5A inhibitors are highly effective treatments for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but are not always successful. In the POLARIS-1 phase 3 study, sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir for 12 weeks was highly effective in the treatment of chronic HCV infection in patients previously treated with a direct-acting antiviral regimen containing an NS5A inhibitor. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir in patients from the deferred treatment group of POLARIS-1, who were initially assigned to masked placebo treatment. Methods This open-label, deferred treatment substudy was done at 73 clinical sites (hospitals and clinics) in the USA, France, Canada, the UK, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. Patients who received placebo in the primary study and who did not have a new clinically significant illness at the post-treatment week 4 assessment were eligible to enter this substudy. Participants received a combination tablet of sofosbuvir (400 mg), velpatasvir (100 mg), and voxilaprevir (100 mg) once daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was achievement of sustained virological response (defined as HCV RNA concentration below the lower limit of quantification) 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12). The primary safety outcome was the proportion of patients who discontinued treatment due to adverse events. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02607735, and the EU Clinical Trials Register, number 2015-003455-21. Findings 152 patients received placebo in the primary study and were potentially eligible for participation in the open-label substudy, of whom 147 were enrolled from March 30, 2016, to Oct 12, 2016. All 147 patients completed treatment, and 143 (97%; 95% CI 93–99) achieved SVR12. Four (3%) patients had virological relapse; all had HCV genotype 1a infection and one also had compensated cirrhosis. The most common adverse events were fatigue (31 [21%]), headache (29 [20%]), diarrhoea (28 [19%]), and nausea (21 [14%]). No deaths, treatment discontinuations, or treatment-related serious adverse events occurred. Interpretation Supporting the results from the blinded portion of the phase 3 primary study, the single-tablet regimen of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir for 12 weeks was safe, well tolerated, and highly effective in patients with chronic HCV infection who had previous treatment failure with NS5A inhibitor-containing regimens. A salvage regimen for this population represents an important advance for patients with limited retreatment options. Funding Gilead Sciences.

Abstract: Background & aims The aim of this integrated analysis was to assess the efficacy of the once-daily combination of elbasvir 50 mg and grazoprevir 100 mg, with and without ribavirin in HCV genotype 4 (GT4)-infected participants enrolled in the Phase 2/3 clinical programme with elbasvir/grazoprevir. Methods Treatment-naive and treatment-experienced participants 18 years of age or older with chronic HCV GT4 infection and baseline HCV RNA ≥10 000 IU/mL were included in the analysis. The analysis population was the full analysis set (FAS; all participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication) and a total of 155 HCV GT4 participants were evaluated. The primary endpoint was sustained virologic response at week 12 (SVR12; HCV RNA less than the lower limit of quantitation at 12 weeks after the completion of study therapy). Results Overall, among GT4-infected participants treated with 12 or 16 weeks of elbasvir/grazoprevir ± ribavirin, the SVR12 efficacy rates were 96.4% (107/111) in treatment-naive participants and 88.6% (39/44) in treatment-experienced participants. The SVR12 rates were 96.0% (97/101) in treatment-naive participants treated with 12 weeks of elbasvir/grazoprevir and 100% (8/8) in treatment-experienced participants treated with 16 weeks of elbasvir/grazoprevir plus ribavirin. Efficacy was not impacted by GT4 subtype. Conclusions The regimens of 12 weeks of elbasvir/grazoprevir without ribavirin, and 16 weeks of elbasvir/grazoprevir plus ribavirin, were efficacious in HCV GT4-infected treatment-naive and treatment-experienced participants respectively. Baseline NS5A resistance-associated substitutions did not impact the efficacy of elbasvir/grazoprevir in GT4-infected participants.

Abstract: Background & Aims Improved therapies for peginterferon/ribavirin null or partial responders are needed. This study evaluated daclatasvir (NS5A inhibitor) and asunaprevir (NS3 protease inhibitor) plus peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in this patient population. Methods This open-label, phase 3 study (HALLMARK-QUAD; NCT01573351) treated patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (n=354) or 4 (n=44) infection who had a prior null or partial response to peginterferon/ribavirin. Patients received daclatasvir 60mg once-daily plus asunaprevir 100mg twice-daily, with weekly peginterferon alfa-2a and weight-based ribavirin for 24weeks. The primary endpoint was sustained virological response at post-treatment week 12 (SVR12) among genotype 1-infected patients. Results Daclatasvir plus asunaprevir and peginterferon/ribavirin demonstrated SVR12 rates of 93% (95% CI 90–96) in prior non-responders infected with HCV genotype 1. SVR12 rates among genotype 4-infected patients were 98% (95% CI 93–100); one patient had a missing post-treatment week-12 HCV-RNA measurement, but achieved an SVR at post-treatment week 24, yielding a 100% SVR rate in genotype 4 patients. Prior peginterferon/ribavirin response, sex, age, IL28B genotype, or cirrhosis status did not influence SVR12 rates. Serious adverse events occurred in 6% of patients; 5% discontinued treatment due to an adverse event. Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities included neutropenia (22%), lymphopenia (16%), anemia (6%), thrombocytopenia (4%), and ALT/AST elevations (3% each). Conclusions Daclatasvir plus asunaprevir and peginterferon/ribavirin demonstrated high rates of SVR12 in genotype 1- or 4-infected prior null or partial responders. The combination was well tolerated and no additional safety and tolerability concerns were observed compared with peginterferon/ribavirin regimens.

Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a prevalent condition that is associated with the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and with no approved treatment options except for lifestyle changes. Guidelines have been drafted for the management of NAFLD patients in this setting. Because of the lack of real-life cohort data, we will focus on practice surveys on the management of patients with NAFLD/NASH, which included primary care practitioners, gastroenterologists/hepatologists and other specialists from various countries. Practice patterns have been collected from interviews with practitioners or reviews of patient's files. This review discusses the screening, diagnosis and therapeutic management of NAFLD/NASH patients in real life practice, as well as adherence to guidelines.

Abstract: People with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have failed treatment with an all-oral regimen represent a challenging treatment population. The present studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of grazoprevir, ruzasvir, and uprifosbuvir, with or without ribavirin, in participants who had failed an NS5A inhibitor-containing regimen. C-SURGE (PN-3682-021) and C-CREST Part C (PN-3682-011 and -012) were open-label, multicenter studies. Participants who had previously relapsed following an NS5A inhibitor-containing all-oral regimen were retreated with grazoprevir 100 mg, ruzasvir 60 mg, and uprifosbuvir 450 mg alone for 24 weeks or with ribavirin for 16 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was sustained virologic response (HCV RNA below the limit of quantitation [15 IU/mL]) 12 weeks after treatment completion (SVR12). In C-SURGE, SVR12 was achieved by 49/49 (100%) and 43/44 (98%) genotype (GT)1 participants in the 24-week no ribavirin arm and the 16-week plus ribavirin arm (lost to follow-up, n = 1), respectively. In C-CREST Part C, SVR12 was achieved by 23/24 (96%) participants treated for 16 weeks with ribavirin (GT1, 2/2 [100%]; GT2, 13/14 [93%]; GT3, 8/8 [100%]). One participant with GT2 infection discontinued study medication after a single dose of grazoprevir, ruzasvir, and uprifosbuvir plus ribavirin due to serious adverse events of vomiting and tachycardia. The presence of baseline resistance-associated substitutions had no impact on SVR12. No participant who completed treatment in either study experienced virologic failure.Grazoprevir, ruzasvir, and uprifosbuvir, with or without ribavirin, for 16 or 24 weeks was safe and highly effective in participants with HCV infection who had previously failed NS5A inhibitor-containing therapy.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: Findings from uncontrolled studies suggest that addition of pegylated interferon in patients with HBe antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B receiving nucleos(t)ide analogues with undetectable plasma hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA might increase HBs antigen (HBsAg) clearance. We aimed to assess this strategy. METHODS: In this randomised, controlled, open-label trial, we enrolled patients aged 18-75 years with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B and documented negative HBV DNA while on stable nucleos(t)ide analogue regimens for at least 1 year from 30 hepatology tertiary care wards in France. Patients had to have an alanine aminotransferase concentration of less than or equal to five times the upper normal range, no hepatocellular carcinoma, and a serum alpha fetoprotein concentration of less than 50 ng/mL, normal dilated fundus oculi examination, and a negative pregnancy test in women. Patients with contraindications to pegylated interferon were not eligible. A centralised randomisation used computer-generated lists of random permuted blocks of four with stratification by HBsAg titres (\textless or \textgreater/=2.25 log10 IU/mL) to allocate patients (1:1) to receive a 48 week course of subcutaneous injections of 180 mug per week of pegylated interferon alfa-2a in addition to the nucleos(t)ide analogue regimen or to continue to receive nucleos(t)ide analogues only. The primary endpoint was HBsAg loss at week 96 by intention-to-treat analysis. This trial is closed and registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01172392. FINDINGS: Between Jan 20, 2011, and July 18, 2012, we randomly allocated 185 patients (92 [50%] to pegylated interferon and nucleos(t)ide analogues and 93 [50%] to nucleos(t)ide analogues alone). We excluded two patients from the pegylated interferon plus nucleos(t)ide analogues group from analyses because of withdrawal of consent (one patient) or violation of inclusion criteria (one patient). At week 96, loss of HBsAg was reported in seven (7.8%) of 90 patients in the pegylated interferon plus nucleos(t)ide analogues group versus three (3.2%) of 93 in the nucleos(t)ide analogues-alone group (difference 4.6% [95% CI -2.6 to 12.5]; p=0.15). 85 (94%) of 90 patients started pegylated interferon, three (4%) of whom had a dose reduction and 17 (20%) had an early discontinuation of pegylated interferon (seven [41%] for serious adverse events). Grade 3 and 4 adverse events were more frequent in the pegylated interferon plus nucleos(t)ide analogues group (26 [29%] grade 3 adverse events; 19 [21%] grade 4 adverse events) than in the nucleos(t)ide analogues-alone group (three [3%] grade 3; six [6%] grade 4). INTERPRETATION: Addition of a 48 week course of pegylated interferon to nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B with undetectable HBV DNA for a least 1 year was poorly tolerated and did not result in a significant increase of HBsAg clearance.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND AND AIMS:In this French multicentre, open-label study, we analyzed the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of a boceprevir-based triple therapy in HCV genotype 1 cirrhotic patients awaiting liver transplantation (LT).METHODS:Patients received PEG-IFN/ribavirin (RBV) for 48 weeks (W) and boceprevir from W4 to W48 or until LT.RESULTS:Fifty-one patients (80% males, median age: 56 years) were included. Fifty-seven percent had hepatocellular carcinoma and 43% end-stage liver disease. At enrolment, the median MELD score was 9 (range: 6-18); the Child-Pugh score was A in 65%, B in 35% and C in 2%. Therapy was discontinued because of severe adverse events (SAEs) in 39% of cases and virological inefficacy in 24%. 16% of patients had undetectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR24). LT was performed in 18 patients (35%). HCV RNA was undetectable in 16.6% at LT. Seven patients (14%) died and three deaths were attributed to treatment. SAEs (n=129) were observed in 84% of patients. Twenty-four percent of patients developed severe infections. Albumin

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS: We performed a prospective study to investigate the effects of a sustained viral response (SVR) on outcomes of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and compensated cirrhosis. METHODS: We collected data from 1323 patients included in the prospective Agence Nationale pour la Recherche sur le SIDA et les hépatites virales (ANRS) viral cirrhosis (CirVir) cohort, recruited from 35 clinical centers in France from 2006 through 2012. All patients had HCV infection and biopsy-proven cirrhosis, were Child-Pugh class A, and had no prior liver complications. All patients received anti-HCV treatment before or after inclusion (with interferon then with direct antiviral agents) and underwent an ultrasound examination every 6 months, as well as endoscopic evaluations. SVR was considered as a time-dependent covariate; its effect on outcome was assessed by the Cox proportional hazard regression method. We used a propensity score to minimize confounding by indication of treatment and capacity to achieve SVR. RESULTS: After a median follow-up period of 58.2 months, 668 patients (50.5%) achieved SVR. SVR was associated with a decreased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hazard ratio [HR] compared with patients without an SVR, 0.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-0.43; P < .001) and hepatic decompensation (HR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.17-0.39; P < .001). Patients with SVRs also had a lower risk of cardiovascular events (HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.25-0.69; P = .001) and bacterial infections (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.29-0.68; P < .001). Metabolic features were associated with a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with SVRs, but not in patients with viremia. SVR affected overall mortality (HR, 0.27 compared with patients without SVR; 95% CI, 0.18-0.42; P < .001) and death from liver-related and non-liver-related causes. Similar results were obtained in a propensity score-matched population. CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed a reduction in critical events, liver-related or not, in a prospective study of patients with HCV infection and compensated cirrhosis included in the CirVir cohort who achieved an SVR. We found an SVR to reduce overall mortality and risk of death from liver-related and non-liver-related causes. A longer follow-up evaluation is required to accurately describe and assess specific risk factors for complications in this population.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: A few direct antiviral agents have been studied in difficult-to-treat patients infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 4 (GT4). The efficacy of daclatasvir (DCV), asunaprevir (ASV), pegylated interferon and ribavirin (Peg-IFN/RBV) association was investigated in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study was conducted in HCV GT4 patients who were null or partial responders to Peg-IFN/RBV. Patients received 24 weeks of DCV (60 mg, once daily), ASV (100 mg, twice daily) and Peg-IFN/RBV. The primary endpoint was sustained virologic response at post-treatment week 12 [sustained virologic response (SVR)12]. RESULTS: Sixty patients were included; 45 (75%) were previous null responders and 27 (45%) had cirrhosis. The most frequent subtypes were GT4a (48%) and GT4d (27%) with 25% of the patients being infected with other subtypes such as 4c, 4r, 4f, 4k, 4j and 4q. The global SVR12 was 95% (90% confidence interval: 90.4-99.6) and 96.3% (90% confidence interval: 87.5-99.5) in cirrhotic patients. All patients achieving SVR12 also achieved SVR24. Previous Peg-IFN/RBV response, IL28b genotype, cirrhosis status or GT4 subtypes did not influence SVR12 rates. Serious adverse events occurred in 13% of the patients, four being cirrhotic and four noncirrhotic. Three (5%) patients stopped HCV therapy prematurely: one because of virologic breakthrough and two because of serious adverse events. Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities included leukopenia (33%), neutropenia (27%), thrombocytopenia (4%) and transaminases increase (2%). CONCLUSION: Association of DCV plus ASV and peg-IFN/RBV for 24 weeks demonstrated a high rate of SVR12 in HCV GT4-infected prior nonresponders, independently of the cirrhotic status or the GT4 subtype. The safety profile was acceptable, even in cirrhotic patients.

Abstract: Aim Glitazones are agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) and have been proposed for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, efficacy results are conflicting and hepatic molecular changes induced by glitazones are mostly unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the hepatic inflammatory and fibrogenic molecular effects of rosiglitazone in NASH patients. Methods Hepatic expression of PPAR-γ and several inflammatory/immune and fibrogenic genes were studied before and after a 12-month treatment with rosiglitazone or placebo in 25 patients with NASH from the Fatty Liver Improvement with Rosiglitazone Therapy (FLIRT) trial. Results Treatment with rosiglitazone induced hepatic PPAR-γ expression but increased the expression of several pro-inflammatory genes such as SOCS3 and TLR4. There was a significant reduction in mRNA and protein levels of α-smooth muscle actin, compatible with previously documented antifibrotic actions of rosiglitazone on stellate cells. However, there was no change in type 1 collagen and transforming growth factor-β expression thus suggesting an offset of the antifibrogenic actions by long-term pro-inflammatory changes. Conclusion In NASH patients, hepatic PPAR-γ induction by rosiglitazone was associated with increased hepatic expression of pro-inflammatory genes which may explain the lack of long-term histological benefit shown in human studies with this drug. It is unclear whether these results are a class effect of PPAR-γ agonists or a specific effect of rosiglitazone.

Abstract: MK-7009 (vaniprevir) is a non-covalent competitive inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease. This report presents the primary analysis results (safety and sustained viral response) of a phase 2b study of MK-7009 given in combination with peginterferon (PegIFN) alfa2a 180 μg weekly and ribavirin (RBV) 1000-1200 mg/day, for 24-48 weeks to non-cirrhotic patients who have failed previous PegIFN and RBV treatment.We present results of a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of MK-7009 administered for 24-48 weeks in combination with PegIFN and RBV in 4 regimens to at least 40 patients per arm. Stratification by prior response to PegIFN and RBV was as follows: null response, partial response, breakthrough and relapse. HCV RNA was determined by Roche Cobas Taqman with a lower limit of detection (LLoD) of 10 IU/ml and a lower limit of quantification (LLoQ) of 25 IU/ml.SVR24 in patients on MK-7009+PegIFN and ribavirin (P/R) was statistically superior to placebo+P/R in all treatment groups (p0.001). MK-7009 at 300 mg b.i.d. and 600 mg b.i.d. is generally well tolerated for use for up to 48 weeks of therapy. Patients in MK-7009 regimens had higher rates of gastrointestinal adverse events as compared to control (mostly mild to moderate). There were no significant differences in rates of anemia and rash between the MK-7009 regimens and control.In conclusion, patients treated with MK-7009 plus P/R experienced significant improvement in SVR compared to P/R control in a population of GT 1 experienced patients.

Abstract: Patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1, 4, or 6, with or without cirrhosis, previously treated with peg-interferon and ribavirin, are a challenge to treat. We performed a phase 3 randomized controlled open-label trial to assess the effects of 12 or 16 weeks of treatment with once-daily elbasvir (an HCV NS5A inhibitor, 50 mg) and grazoprevir (an HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor, 100 mg), in a fixed-dose combination tablet, with or without twice-daily ribavirin, in this patient population.We analyzed data from 420 patients (35% with cirrhosis, 64% with a null or partial response to peg-interferon and ribavirin) who were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1) to groups given elbasvir and grazoprevir once daily, with or without twice-daily ribavirin, for 12 or 16 weeks, at 65 study centers in 15 countries in Europe, Asia, and Central and North America. Randomization was stratified by cirrhosis status and type of peg-interferon and ribavirin treatment failure. HCV RNA was measured using COBAS TaqMan v2.0. The primary end point was HCV RNA15 IU/mL, 12 weeks after completion of treatment (SVR12). We aimed to determine whether the proportion of patients achieving an SVR12 in any group was greater than the reference rate (58%).With 12 weeks of treatment, an SVR12 was achieved by 92.4% of patients given elbasvir and grazoprevir and 94.2% of patients given elbasvir and grazoprevir with ribavirin. With 16 weeks of treatment, an SVR12 was achieved by 92.4% of patients given elbasvir and grazoprevir and 98.1% of patients given elbasvir and grazoprevir with ribavirin. Among patients treated for 12 weeks without ribavirin, virologic failure occurred in 6.8%, 0%, and 12.5% of patients with HCV genotype 1a, 1b, or 4 infection, respectively. Among patients given elbasvir and grazoprevir for 12 weeks, virologic failure occurred in 0% of patients infected with HCV genotypes 1 and 4 who relapsed after completing peg-interferon and ribavirin, and 7.5% infected with HCV genotypes 1 and 4, respectively, with a null or partial response to peg-interferon and ribavirin. Among patients treated for 16 weeks who received ribavirin, there were no incidences of virologic failure. Common adverse events were fatigue (23.1%), headache (19.8%), and nausea (11.0%).The combination tablet of elbasvir and grazoprevir, with or without ribavirin, was highly efficacious in inducing an SVR12 in patients with HCV genotype 1, 4, or 6 infection failed by previous treatment with peg-interferon and ribavirin, including patients with cirrhosis and/or a prior null response. The treatment was generally well tolerated. ClinicalTrials.gov Number: NCT02105701.

Abstract: International audience; Unlabelled - The aim of this work was to develop an individualized score for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis C (HCV)-compensated cirrhosis. Among 1,323 patients with HCV cirrhosis enrolled in the French prospective ANRS CO12 CirVir cohort, 720 and 360 were randomly assigned to training and validation sets, respectively. Cox's multivariate model was used to predict HCC, after which a nomogram was computed to assess individualized risk. During follow-up (median, 51.0 months), 103 and 39 patients developed HCC in the training and validation sets, respectively. Five variables were independently associated with occurrence of HCC: age > 50 years (hazard ratio [HR], 1.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16; 3.25; P = 0.012); past excessive alcohol intake (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.02; 2.36; P = 0.041); low platelet count (

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS: Elafibranor is an agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ. Elafibranor improves insulin sensitivity, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism and reduces inflammation. We assessed the safety and efficacy of elafibranor in an international, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial of patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).METHODS: Patients with NASH without cirrhosis were randomly assigned to groups given elafibranor 80 mg (n= 93), elafibranor 120 mg (n= 91), or placebo (n= 92) each day for 52 weeks at sites in Europe and the United States. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed every 2 months during this 1-year period. Liver biopsies were then collected and patients were assessed 3 months later. The primary outcome was resolution of NASH without fibrosis worsening, using protocol-defined and modified definitions. Data from the groups given the different doses of elafibranor were compared with those from the placebo group using step-down logistic regression, adjusting for baseline nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score.RESULTS: In intention-to-treat analysis, there was no significant difference between the elafibranor and placebo groups in the protocol-defined primary outcome. However, NASH resolved without fibrosis worsening in a higher proportion of patients in the 120-mg elafibranor group vs the placebo group (19% vs 12%; odds ratio= 2.31; 95% confidence interval: 1.02-5.24; P= .045), based on a post-hoc analysis for the modified definition. In post-hoc analyses of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score ≥4 (n= 234), elafibranor 120 mg resolved NASH in larger proportions of patients than placebo based on the protocol definition (20% vs 11%; odds ratio= 3.16; 95% confidence interval: 1.22-8.13; P= .018) and the modified definitions (19% vs 9%; odds ratio= 3.52; 95% confidence interval: 1.32-9.40; P= .013). Patients with NASH resolution after receiving elafibranor 120 mg had reduced liver fibrosis stages compared with those without NASH resolution (mean reduction of 0.65 ± 0.61 in responders for the primary outcome vs an increase of 0.10 ± 0.98 in nonresponders; P < .001). Liver enzymes, lipids, glucose profiles, and markers of systemic inflammation were significantly reduced in the elafibranor 120-mg group vs the placebo group. Elafibranor was welltolerated and did not cause weight gain or cardiac events, but did produce a mild, reversible increase in serum creatinine (effect size vs placebo: increase of 4.31 ± 1.19 μmol/L; P < .001).CONCLUSIONS: A post-hoc analysis of data from trial of patients with NASH showed that elafibranor (120 mg/d for 1 year) resolved NASH without fibrosis worsening, based on a modified definition, in the intention-to-treat analysis and in patients with moderate or severe NASH. However, the predefined end point was not met in the intention to treat population. Elafibranor was well tolerated and improved patients' cardiometabolic risk profile.

Abstract: Background & Aims Most studies on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) originate from tertiary care centers with an academic interest. How this emerging entity is accepted and managed by a wider body of gastroenterologists is unknown, despite significant implications for the diagnosis of at-risk subjects and the utilization of healthcare resources. Methods We conducted a survey among 352 French, board-certified gastroenterologists from a large variety of practices to understand the clinical burden, perceived severity, and management patterns of NAFLD. Results Half of participants saw >30 new cases (equal to HCV) of NAFLD and 40% >5 new cases of NASH-cirrhosis yearly. Only 20% of patients were referred by endocrinologists; conversely, gastroenterologists overwhelmingly referred NAFLD patients for assessment of metabolic co-morbidities. In patients with metabolic risk factors, a majority of physicians considered the diagnosis of NAFLD, even if other liver diseases co-existed. The diagnosis heavily relies on aminotransferases, hence patients with normal ALT are usually not diagnosed. Liver biopsy is performed for fibrosis staging but not for the diagnosis/grading of steatohepatitis, and mainly decided based on non-invasive fibrosis procedures. Pharmacological treatment is used despite a lack of clear evidence of efficacy. Physicians monitor patients themselves, usually twice a year. Conclusions NAFLD is recognized and accepted as a disease in itself with potentially severe outcomes. Most at-risk patients are currently missed because of non-referral by endocrinologists and no exploration of those with normal aminotransferases. The medical need for the diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD is real in the community of gastroenterologists at large.

Abstract: NAFLD encompasses a spectrum of liver diseases including simple steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is characterized by inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning on a background of steatosis. NAFLD, the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, has become one of the most common causes of chronic liver diseases over the last decade in developed countries as well as in low and middle-income regions owing to dramatic epidemic proportions of obesity and diabetes worldwide. While simple steatosis has mostly a benign course, NASH can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Insulin resistance is considered as the cornerstone in the development of NAFLD/NASH. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of NASH. However, non-invasive markers of NASH and fibrosis represent interesting tools to identify patients with severe liver injuries. Even if insulin sensitizers and hepatoprotective agents are promising drugs, no medication has been currently approved for the treatment of NASH. Diet, exercise and control of the metabolic disorders still represent crucial therapeutic options for the management of NAFLD/NASH.

Abstract: Steatosis or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is commonly associated with abdominal obesity and metabolic disorders. It may evolve to severe liver injuries including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HIV-infected patients are aging and face an increased prevalence of abdominal obesity and metabolic disorders. We provide here an overview of NAFLD in HIV-infected patients for a better management of these patients.Steatosis is observed in 30-40% of HIV-infected patients, associated with increased adiposity and metabolic disorders. Whereas steatosis has probably a benign prognosis, clinically silent lesions of NASH are frequent in patients undergoing liver biopsy with often fibrosis and even cirrhosis. Fibrosis severity is related to age, insulin resistance and stavudine/didanosine-based therapy. Noninvasive markers of fibrosis are useful for the management of NAFLD-suspected patients. In addition to lifestyle changes, new treatment options are emerging and need to be evaluated in these patients. Steatosis is also common in HIV-hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infected patients and worsens fibrosis progression but does not impact on the rate of sustained virological response.HIV-infected patients are at risk of NAFLD, a silent disease that can progress to more severe liver injuries. An accurate screening of these patients should be considered to prevent harmful evolution.

Abstract: Recent studies suggested that SVR rates might be lower in HCV patients with insulin resistance (IR) than in patients without IR, but the extent of the impact of IR on treatment response has not been established. We aimed to confirm the role of IR assessed by the homoeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) on SVR and to determine its magnitude.We performed meta-analysis of studies evaluating the impact of IR in HCV patients treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin.Fourteen studies involving 2732 patients were included. SVR was less frequent in patients with IR than in patients without IR (mean difference: -19.6%, 95% CI: -29.9% to -9.4%, p0.001). In sensitivity analyses according to HCV-1 patients, patients with IR also less frequently attained a SVR than patients without IR (mean difference: -13.0%, 95% CI: -22.6% to -3.4%, p=0.008). In addition, the baseline HOMA-IR index was lower in responders than in non-responders (mean difference: -0.92, 95% CI: -1.53 to -0.32, p0.001). In sensitivity analyses restricted to HCV-1 patients, the baseline HOMA-IR index remained lower in responders than in non-responders (mean difference: -0.63, 95% CI: -1.13 to -0.14, p0.001).HCV patients with IR have a 20% lower SVR than patients without IR. The baseline HOMA-IR index is a major determinant of SVR.

Abstract: Second wave direct acting antivirals such as sofosbuvir, simeprevir and daclatasvir can be combined with pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) as triple therapy in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In patients with HCV genotype 1 (HCV-1), a PEG-IFN/RBV-based regimen with sofosbuvir is highly effective but the presence of cirrhosis and the non-CC IFNL3 genotype have been associated with a poorer response. A PEG-IFN/RBV-based regimen with simeprevir or daclatasvir is based on response-guided therapy and its efficacy depends on predictors of response to IFN. HCV-1 subtype is also a major predictor of response. In HCV-1a infected patients, the K80Q mutation in NS3 or the presence of NS5A variants at baseline are associated with poor response with simeprevir- or daclatasvir-containing regimens respectively. Thus, these regimens should be only used in HCV-1b patients with good predictors of response to IFN.

Abstract: Colorectal cancer is respectively the third and second most common cancer among men and women in France. Interest in chemoprevention for colorectal cancer has increased over the last two decades. Beside non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) may have chemopreventive action in colorectal cancer with a likely better tolerance. In high-risk populations such as patients with inflammatory bowel disease or prior colorectal adenoma or carcinoma, retrospective and prospective studies have suggested a beneficial effect of UDCA. In azoxymethane model, UDCA inhibits tumor development by countering the tumor-promoting effects of secondary bile acids, such as deoxycholic acid (DCA). The opposing effects of UDCA and DCA on lipid raft composition may be central to their effects on colonic tumorigenesis. Differential effects of DCA and UDCA on growth factor and inflammatory signals involved in colorectal carcinogenesis, such as epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) signaling and Cox-2 expression, likely mediate their opposing effects on colonic tumor promotion and tumor inhibition, respectively.

Abstract: Summary Background/Aims To assess the benefit of the UDCA–budesonide combination in association with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) at high risk of developing cirrhosis or liver failure. Methods Inclusion criteria for this three-year open study were: 1) suboptimal biochemical response to one-year UDCA therapy at 13–15 mg/kg/d; 2) significant interface hepatitis without cirrhosis at liver biopsy. Treatment regimen included UDCA (13–15 mg/kg/d), budesonide (6 mg/d) and MMF (1.5 g/d). All patients underwent a control biopsy at three years. Results Fifteen patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Six patients (41%) normalized biochemistries and seven (47%) had a partial but significant biochemical response, as defined by a serum bilirubin less than 17 μmol/L, alanine aminotransferase less than 70 UI/L and alkaline phosphatase less than 250 UI/L. Histological activity and fibrosis were markedly improved. Side effects were minimal or absent. Conclusions Triple therapy with UDCA, budesonide and MMF may provide benefit in non-cirrhotic PBC patients with features of severe disease not responding to UDCA.

Abstract: Summary Virological interactions of hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis D (HDV) viruses in HIV-infected patients have been poorly characterized especially under treatment influences. Undetection rates of hepatitis viruses were longitudinally analyzed in a 3-year cohort of 308 HIV–HBV co-infected patients and compared using Generalized Estimating Equation models adjusted for age, HIV-RNA, CD4 cell-count and antiviral treatment. Chronic hepatitis co-infection in HIV-infected patients (age years, SD) was: 265 HBV (40.7, 8.2); 19 HBV–HCV (39.7, 4.1); 12 HBV–HDV (35.2, 9.9); 12 HBV–HCV–HDV (39.2, 5.2). At inclusion, treatment with lamivudine/tenofovir was not significantly different between co-infection groups. HBV suppression was significantly associated with HDV (aOR = 3.85, 95%CI 1.13–13.10, P = 0.03) and HCV tri-infection (aOR = 2.65, 95%CI 1.03–6.81, P = 0.04), but marginally associated with HIV–HBV–HCV–HDV (aOR = 2.32, 95%CI 0.94–5.74, P = 0.07). In quad-infection, lower HDV-undetectability (vs HIV–HBV–HDV, P = 0.2) and higher HCV-undetectability (vs HIV–HBV–HCV, P = 0.1) were demonstrated. The degree of HBV suppression varied between visits and co-infection groups [range of aOR during follow-up (vs HIV–HBV co-infection): HIV–HBV–HCV = 2.23–5.67, HIV–HBV–HDV = 1.53–15.17]. In treated co-infected patients, HDV expressed continuous suppression over HCV- and HBV-replications. Peaks and rebounds from undetectable hepatitis B, C and/or D viremia warrant closer follow-up in this patient population. HDV-replication was uncontrolled even with antiviral treatment.

Methods Performance was evaluated using the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve method. The Kappa index was used to study overall agreement with liver biopsy results. Interpretative algorithms were established by optimizing sensitivity and specificity and the percentage of correctly classified patients. Results One hundred and eight patients (F0–F1, n =47; F2, n =28; F3, n =17; F4, n =16) were considered for the evaluation of serum biomarker performance. The AUROCs of the Fibrotest ® , Hepascore ® , Fibrometer ® , and Zeng's scores ranged from 0.74 to 0.77 for significant fibrosis (⩾ F2), from 0.79 to 0.84 for advanced fibrosis (⩾ F3) and from 0.87 to 0.92 for cirrhosis (F4). Thresholds defined for each stage of fibrosis were close to those previously published for the Fibrotest ® and Hepascore ® . Strict concordance with biopsies correctly classified 50% of the patients. Conclusions Fibrotest ® , Fibrometer ® , Hepascore ® , and Zeng's score were the most accurate non-invasive biochemical scores for liver fibrosis assessment in HIV/HBV co-infection. Global performance of biomarkers was not significantly improved by a decision tree combining the results of two biochemical scores.

90. Hepatitis C, insulin resistance and diabetes: clinical and pathogenic data

Abstract: Epidemiological data indicate a strong risk for development of insulin resistance (IR), and, ultimately, overt diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Steatosis, or fatty liver, is closely linked with IR in persons without HCV, such as those with metabolic syndrome, primarily due to increased visceral fat leading to altered adipokine production and increased free fatty acid (FFA) release. Moreover, there is evidence that liver fat can have an impact on the development of hepatic IR independently of changes in adipose tissue. Multiple mechanisms can account for the development of IR in patients with chronic HCV. In particular, there is evidence for a triangular interaction between steatosis, inflammatory processes and IR. In patients infected by the genotype 1 virus, steatosis is strongly related to IR, leading to a metabolic steatosis, while, in genotype 3 patients, steatosis is related to viral load in the context of a viral steatosis. Chronic inflammatory processes in the liver may be mediated by persistently activated macrophages and other immune cells, with concomitant overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha. Activation of inflammatory pathways, together with increased levels of FFAs, can disrupt hepatocyte intracellular pathways and inhibit insulin signalling, leading to IR. Molecular studies have also shown that the HCV core protein can directly inhibit the insulin signalling pathway and increase reactive oxygen species production, both of which can further exacerbate IR. The available data provide an understanding of chronic HCV whereby chronic inflammatory processes, steatosis and IR contribute to each other, leading to an increased risk of DM, and its associated poor outcomes, in persons with chronic HCV.

Abstract: The topic of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors has been developed in the field of hepatology allowing envisaging therapeutic strategies for the most frequent chronic liver diseases such as chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). PPARs contribute to wide physiological processes within the liver such as lipid/glucid metabolisms, inflammatory response, cell differentiation, and cell cycle. In vitro experiments and animal studies showed that PPAR discloses anti-inflammatory property, and PPAR discloses anti-inflammatory, antifibrogenic, and antiproliferative properties in the liver. Experimental and human studies showed impaired PPARs expression and function during HCV infection. The available nonhepatotoxic agonists of PPARs may constitute a progress in the therapeutic management of patients chronically infected with HCV.

Abstract: Metabolic steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver injury in Western countries. Histological signs of necroinflammation, indicating the presence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are present in 20-30% of cases. While steatosis on its own has a benign course, NASH may be associated with fibrosis and may progress to cirrhosis, terminal liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. NAFLD is closely associated with the metabolic syndrome, its prevalence reaching 50-90% in obese patients. The clinical impact of NAFLD has been demonstrated in large cohort studies by the overprevalence of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in obese and diabetic patients. In terms of survival, liver disease is the third most common cause of mortality in patients with NAFLD. When associated with other causes of liver disease such as alcohol consumption or hepatitis C infection, metabolic steatosis may be a major risk factor for disease progression.

Abstract: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a liver disease that complicates insulin-resistant states. This trial tested the efficacy and safety of rosiglitazone, an insulin-sensitizing agent, in patients with NASH.Sixty-three patients with histologically proven NASH were randomly assigned to receive rosiglitazone (4 mg/day for the first month and 8 mg/day thereafter; n = 32) or placebo (n = 31) for 1 year. Liver biopsy was performed at the end of treatment. End points were improvement in the histologic score of steatosis, normalization of serum transaminase levels, and improvement in necroinflammation and fibrosis.More patients treated with rosiglitazone than receiving placebo had improved steatosis (47% vs 16%; P = .014) and normalized transaminase levels (38% vs 7%; P = .005), although only half of patients responded. There was no improvement in other histologic lesions, including fibrosis, and a composite score of activity, the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score. Improvement of steatosis correlated with reduction of transaminase levels (r = 0.36; P.005), improvement in insulin sensitivity (r = 0.34; P = .008), and increase in adiponectin levels (r = -0.54; P.01) but not with weight variations. Independent predictors of response were rosiglitazone treatment, the absence of diabetes, and massive steatosis. Weight gain was the main adverse effect (mean gain of 1.5 kg in the rosiglitazone group vs -1 kg in the placebo group; P.01), and painful swollen legs was the main reason for dose reduction/discontinuation. Serum hemoglobin level was slightly but significantly reduced. There was no hepatic toxicity.In patients with NASH, rosiglitazone improves steatosis and transaminase levels despite weight gain, an effect related to an improvement in insulin sensitivity. However, there is no improvement in other parameters of liver injury.

Abstract: Resume Parmi les facteurs lies a l’environnement, la consommation d’alcool et le syndrome metabolique semblent jouer un role important sur la reponse au traitement de l’hepatite chronique C. Dans une etude americaine prospective, une consommation d’alcool reguliere (1 verre/j) dans les 6 mois precedents chez des patients traites par bitherapie etait associee, de facon significative, a l’arret du traitement, soulignant la necessite d’une prise en charge specifique et multidisciplinaire de ces patients. La steatose metabolique, et plus encore le degre d’insulinoresistance mesuree par le HOMA, semblent egalement avoir un impact negatif sur la reponse virologique prolongee. La frequence elevee de l’insulinoresistance dans l’hepatite C justifie la realisation d’un bilan metabolique avec dosage de l’insulinemie avant d’envisager le traitement antiviral. L’efficacite d’un traitement insulinosensibilisant sur la reponse virologique a la bitherapie est en cours d’evaluation dans le cadre de protocoles therapeutiques.

Abstract: Summary Background and objective To assess within the ANRS CO20-CUPIC cohort whether the viral load (VL) at week 2/week 6 for telaprevir/boceprevir-based triple therapy, respectively, was predictive of sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and to study the relevance of this measurement to early diagnose drug resistance. Methods Observational study of HCV genotype 1 patients with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A), non-responders to a prior course of interferon (IFN)-based therapy and who started triple therapy. Patients received either 12 weeks of telaprevir in combination with PEG-IFN/ribavirin (RBV), then 36 weeks of PEG-IFN/RBV, or 4 weeks of PEG-IFN/RBV, then 44 weeks of PEG-IFN/RBV and boceprevir. Results A total of 262 patients were analyzed. For telaprevir-treated patients, 28% had undetectable VL at W2 of whom 81% achieved SVR12 whereas 67% had undetectable VL at W4 of whom 67% achieved SVR12. For boceprevir-treated patients 20% had undetectable VL at W6 and 86% of them achieved SVR12 whereas 36% had undetectable VL at W8 among whom 73% achieved SVR12. Five telaprevir-treated patients had a VL increase between W2 and W4 after a decrease between D0 and W2. Four of them did not achieve SVR12. Similarly, six boceprevir-treated patients had a VL increase between W6 and W8 after a decrease between D0 and W6. Five did not reach SVR12. Conclusions The assessment of HCV RNA level after two weeks of triple therapy in cirrhotic non-responder patients is a good predictor of SVR. This assessment was useful to do an early diagnosis of viral breakthrough.

Abstract: Summary Background Patients with cirrhosis resulting from chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are at risk of life-threatening complications, but consistently achieve lower sustained virological response (SVR) than patients without cirrhosis, especially if treatment has previously failed. We assessed the efficacy and safety of the NS5A inhibitor ledipasvir and the nucleotide polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir, with and without ribavirin. Methods In this multicentre, double-blind trial, between Oct 21, 2013, and Oct 30, 2014, we enrolled patients with HCV genotype 1 and compensated cirrhosis who had not achieved SVR after successive treatments with pegylated interferon and protease-inhibitor regimens at 20 sites in France. With a computer-generated randomisation sequence, patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive placebo matched in appearance to study drugs for 12 weeks followed by once daily combination fixed-dose tablets of 90 mg ledipasvir and 400 mg sofosbuvir plus weight-based ribavirin for 12 weeks, or ledipasvir-sofosbuvir plus placebo once daily for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was SVR 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12), for which 95% CIs were calculated with the Clopper-Pearson method. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01965535. Findings Of 172 patients screened, 155 entered randomisation, 77 were assigned to receive ledipasvir-sofosbuvir plus ribavirin and 78 ledipasvir-sofosbuvir. 114 (74%) were men, 151 (97%), were white, 98 (63%) had HCV genotype 1a, and 145 (94%) had non-CC IL28B alleles. SVR12 rates were 96% (95% CI 89–99) for patients in the ledipasvir-sofosbuvir plus ribavirin group and 97% (91–100) in the ledipasvir-sofosbuvir group. One patient discontinued treatment because of adverse events while receiving only placebo. The most frequent adverse events were asthenia and headache, pruritus, and fatigue. Interpretation Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for 12 weeks and ledipasvir-sofosbuvir for 24 weeks provided similarly high SVR12 rates in previous non-responders with HCV genotype 1 and compensated cirrhosis. The shorter regimen, when given with ribavirin, might, therefore, be useful to treat treatment-experienced patients with cirrhosis if longer-term treatment is not possible. Funding Gilead Sciences.

Abstract: Transient elastometry is a noninvasive procedure used to measure fibrosis when patients are diagnosed with liver disease; it might be used to monitor changes over time. We investigated whether there are short-term variations in stiffness measurements that are not attributable to changes in fibrosis by studying patients with stable liver disease.We performed a retrospective analysis of 531 paired liver stiffness measurements made by Fibroscan when the study began (LSM1) and at follow-up (LSM2), more than 1 day and less than 1 year apart, from 432 stable (for body mass index, waist circumference, and alcohol consumption), untreated, immunocompetent patients with chronic liver disease (from January 2006 through March 2009). Variations between the first and follow-up measurements were expressed as absolute (LSM2-LSM1, kPa) or relative ([LSM2-LSM1]/LSM1*100) or as changes in fibrosis stage.There was20% variation in 49.7%,30% in 34.3%, and50% in 12.2% of paired measurements; this variation was constant across the spectrum of LSM1 values. The variations produced a 1-fibrosis stage difference in 31.5% of pairs and a ≥ 2-stage difference in 9.8% of pairs. Patients with LSM17 kPa had increased probability of having a different stage of fibrosis at LSM2, compared with patients with LSM17 kPa. Factors associated with variation included measurements made by 2 different operators or at least 1 non-senior operator, ratios of interquartile range:median values, significant fibrosis (≥ 7 kPa) at LSM1, baseline body mass index, or a 2-fold difference in level of alanine aminotransferase between measurements. When the analyses were restricted to measurements made by the same operator, the variation was slightly reduced; fibrosis stage differed between measurements for only 34.3% of cases.Operator-related and patient-related factors produce significant variations in liver stiffness measurements made by transient elastometry, limiting its use in monitoring patients. These variations are unrelated to disease progression. The lowest levels of variation occur in measurements made in patients with no or early-stage fibrosis or by a single experienced operator.
