In the treatment of patients with nonresectable colorectal cancer (CRC) with liver metastases, liver transplantation may improve long-term survival outcomes especially when performed for those with favourable prognostic scoring, according to a study.

Bulevirtide boasts high barrier to resistance for chronic hepatitis delta
A recent study has found no amino acid substitutions associated with reduced sensitivity to bulevirtide (BLV) monotherapy, a hepatitis D/B virus (HDV/HBV) entry inhibitor, at baseline or week 24 in patients with virologic breakthrough after BLV treatment.

Minimal monitoring feasible in HCV patients on SOF/VEL
Minimal monitoring is feasible in patients with active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL), with high rates of sustained virologic response (SVR) reported, including in patients with novel HCV subtypes, according to new data from the phase IV MINMON study presented at IDDF 2023.

Does ribavirin improve efficacy of SOF/VEL/VOX in HCV retreatment?
The combination of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) with or without ribavirin demonstrates efficacy for the retreatment of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in whom prior direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment has failed, a study in Egypt has shown.
