Key Summary Points

Why carry out this study

The global elimination of HCV infection is a possibility with the availability of short-course pangenotypic direct-acting antivirals, however rapid expansion of treatment to historically marginalized patients is necessary to achieve the goal of elimination.

This multinational study presents the efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of treatment with G/P in historically underserved patient populations in real-world settings.

What was learned from the study?

Overall, G/P treatment was highly effective with a cure rate of 98% and well-tolerated across a broad range of marginalized patients with chronic HCV and single or dual comorbidities.

Results from this real-world analysis address current gaps in clinical knowledge regarding impact on quality of life and G/P treatment led to improvements in health-related quality of life and reductions in fatigue.

These results further support the use of an 8-week short-course G/P in underserved patients including those with substance abuse and psychiatric comorbidities.
