Abstract The combination of daclatasvir and asunaprevir is efficacious in the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but its efficacy and predictors of efficacy in the elderly (>/=70 years) remain unclear. In this study, 844 patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection, were treated with daclatasvir (60 mg once daily) plus asunaprevir (100 mg twice daily) for 24 weeks. Using the intention-to-treat analysis, the sustained virological response (SVR) rates were 87% and 88% for all 844 patients and 411 elderly (>70 years of age), respectively. In both groups, multivariate analysis identified NS5A-Y93H mutation (<20%), pretreatment (failure of treatment except for triple therapy with simeprevir, or treatment naive), and level of viremia (<6.0 log IU/ml) as independent predictors of SVR. Direct sequencing showed a significantly higher rate of NS3-D168 mutation at baseline in non-responders to triple therapy with simeprevir (44%) than others (2%). Alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) level and liver stiffness were significantly lower after end of treatment than at baseline, in both the SVR and non-SVR groups. In conclusion, daclatasvir-asunaprevir combination achieved high SVR in HCV genotype 1b patients, including elderly patients. Viral factors negatively influenced the response to treatment. Treatment improved AFP level and liver stiffness (surrogate markers of hepatocellular carcinoma), regardless of treatment efficacy. J. Med. Virol. 89:91-98, 2017. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mutation Information
Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
