Hepatitis C therapy with direct acting antivirals (DAAs) is as effective in real-world settings as it was in clinical trials, according to U.S. research presented at the International Liver Congress in Barcelona last week. Investigators from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) analyzed outcomes in over 9000 patients treated with DAA combinations. Outcomes were excellent, with 2 combinations achieving cure rates of 93%, similar to those seen in randomized studies with strict eligibility criteria and close follow-up.
