Disrupting Viral Persistence: CRISPR/Cas9‐Based Strategies for Hepatitis B and C Treatment, and Challenges

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) remain among the leading causes of liver disease worldwide. Current antiviral drugs, such as nucleotide analogues (NAs), can reduce the replication of new HBV and HCV infections but cannot completely eliminate chronic infections.

Successful Treatment Using Simeprevir, Sofosbuvir and Rituximab of a Severe Form of Hepatitis C Virus-related Mixed Cryoglobulinemia with Cardiac Involvement

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2015
Numerous extrahepatic manifestations have been reported in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, particularly mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). MC generally responds to clearance of HCV under pegylated-interferon plus ribavirin treatment.

Hepatitis C Eradication Improves Oncologic and Clinical Outcomes in Patients Treated With Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a key driver of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the impact of HCV eradication on systemic therapy remains unclear. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of direct‐acting antivirals (DAA) in patients treated with Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab (AtezoBev).

Safety and efficacy of the combination simeprevir-sofosbuvir in HCV genotype 1- and 4-mono-infected patients from the French ANRS CO22 hepather cohort

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Although real-life results of sofosbuvir/simeprevir have been extensively reported from the United States, data from other geographical areas are limited. In the French observational cohort, ANRS CO22 HEPATHER, 9432 patients were given the new
