For HCV treatment options to be used if preferred options are not available, please see version 10.1 of the EACS Guidelines

EBR = elbasvir
GLE = glecaprevir
GZR = grazoprevir
LDV = ledipasvir
PIB = pibrentasvir
RBV = ribavirin
SOF = sofosbuvir
VEL = velpatasvir
VOX = voxilaprevir
RAS = resistance associated substitutions

 
  1. In persons with GT1a with baseline HCV-RNA < 800,000 IU/mL and/or absence of NS5A RASs, as well as in treatment-naïve persons with GT4 with HCV-RNA < 800,000 IU/mL In GT 1b treatment-naïve PLWH with F0-F2 fibrosis 8 weeks can be considered
  2. 8 weeks treatment can be considered in treatment naïve persons
  3. 8 weeks treatment without RBV only in treatment-naïve persons with F < 3 and baseline HCV-RNA < 6 million IU/mL
  4. RBV can be omitted in treatment-naïve or -experienced persons with compensated cirrhosis without baseline NS5A RAS. In persons intolerant to RBV, treatment may be prolonged to 24 weeks
  5. Treatment duration in HCV GT3 who failed previous treatment with IFN and RBV +/- SOF or SOF and RBV should be 16 weeks
  6. In treatment experienced persons RBV should be added unless NS5A RASs are excluded; if these persons are intolerant to RBV, treatment may be prolonged to 24 weeks without RBV
  7. If RAS testing is available and demonstrates absence of NS5A RAS Y93H, RBV can be omitted in treatment naive people with compensated cirrhosis
  8. In treatment experienced (exposure to IFN/RBV/SOF) persons add RBV treatment for 12 weeks or prolong treatment to 24 weeks without RBV
  9. In persons intolerant to RBV, treatment may be prolonged to 24 weeks
