Prediction of the SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) 3C-like protease (3CLpro) structure: virtual screening reveals velpatasvir, ledipasvir, and other drug repurposing candidates [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
We prepared the three-dimensional model of the SARS-CoV-2 (aka 2019-nCoV) 3C-like protease (3CLpro) using the crystal structure of the highly similar (96% identity) ortholog from the SARS-CoV. All residues involved in the catalysis, substrate binding and

Real-World Effectiveness and Safety of Sofosbuvir-Based Therapy in Chinese Children and Adolescents With Chronic HCV Infection: A Retrospective Multicentre Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Few direct‐acting antiviral regimens are approved in China for children and adolescents with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and data are limited on their efficacy and safety in this population. This retrospective, multi‐centre study aimed to assess the real‐world effectiveness and safety of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) and ...

Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, and Voxilaprevir for Previously Treated HCV Infection [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Patients who are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and who do not have a sustained virologic response after treatment with regimens containing direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have limited retreatment options. METHODS: We

Successful treatment of vertically acquired Hepatitis C in a child using direct-acting antiviral therapy administered via gastrojejunal tube: A case report. [PDF]
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant global health burden, with vertical transmission being the primary route of infection in children. Direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) have transformed HCV treatment in pediatrics, but limited data exist on their administration in medically complex children who are dependent on enteral tubes. We report

Rare and Novel Hepatitis C Virus Genotype Subtypes and Response to Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir in A5360 (MINMON) Clinical Trial [PDF]
ABSTRACT The introduction of potent, well‐tolerated direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) has transformed hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy and spurred global elimination efforts. However, the extensive genetic diversity of HCV may affect antiviral efficacy, particularly in low and middle‐income regions where limited data currently exist.
