From Diagnosis to Durability: A Review of the European Bulevirtide Experience and Practical Learnings for CHD Management

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection causes chronic hepatitis D (CHD), the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis with a high risk of progression to advanced liver disease. Off‐label pegylated interferon alpha was the primary treatment option in Europe prior to the introduction of bulevirtide, a first‐in‐class HDV entry inhibitor.

Impact of Antiviral Therapy Scale‐Up Among People Who Inject Drugs in Scotland: Regional Evidence of Hepatitis C Virus Elimination

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Expansion of highly effective direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) treatment for people who inject drugs (PWID) is regarded as essential to achieve hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination. A decade since the introduction of DAA treatment, we aimed to assess its roll‐out and associated impact in reducing HCV prevalence among PWID in Scotland ...

Emerging Immune‐Based Therapeutic Strategies in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide despite recent advances in systemic therapy. The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors has substantially expanded treatment options for advanced disease; however, durable responses are observed only in a subset of patients.

Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Test, FIB‐4 and FibroScan: Real‐World Prognostic Accuracy for MASLD in a Biopsy‐Controlled Cohort

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Liver fibrosis is a major determinant of liver‐related events (LREs) in patients with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Effective stratification based on fibrosis severity is essential for accurate prognosis.

Cumulative Metformin Use and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Risk After HCV SVR: A Multicentre Cohort Study

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Although sustained virological response (SVR) after hepatitis C virus treatment reduces hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence, residual risk persists. Metformin has been associated with lower HCC risk, but whether cumulative metformin exposure (CME) lowers post‐SVR risk remains unclear.

High Rates of Advanced Chronic Liver Disease in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis D Virus Infection in Uzbekistan

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is endemic in Uzbekistan. Previous data showed a high prevalence of anti‐hepatitis D virus (HDV) antibodies in HBsAg‐positive individuals. Limited data are available on disease severity, treatment availability and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prevalence in patients with chronic ...

Comparative Impact of Active Versus Passive Surveillance on Hepatitis C Virus Testing Uptake, Diagnosis and Linkage to Care in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 997-1011, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), where limited diagnostic access and weak surveillance hinder progress toward the World Health Organization's 2030 elimination targets.

Evaluation systems for anti-HCV drugs

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2007
Development of therapeutics for chronic hepatitis C has been hampered by the lack of an efficient cell culture system and a small animal model for the hepatitis C virus (HCV). An RNA replicon system, in which the HCV genome replicates autonomously in cells, and replication competent viruses derived from an HCV genotype 2a JFH1 strain efficiently ...
