Treatment of Spanish HIV-infected patients with recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) after liver transplantation (OLT) with pegylated interferon (PEG- INF) plus ribavirin (RBV): Preliminary results of the FIPSE OLT-HIV-05 - GESIDA Cohort Study ( ). 14 th CROI 2007, Los Angeles, California (USA). address:

Background: Recurrent HCV after OLT is a major cause of graft loss and death in HIV-HCV coinfected patients. We evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment with PEG-INF and RBV for recurrent HCV after OLT in this population. Methods: Prospective multicenter cohort study. Ninety liver transplants in 88 HIV-infected patients have been performed in Spain since Nineteen patients died (22%). 92% were HIV-HCV co-infected. Thirty- three patients started anti-HCV therapy with PEG-INF (alfa-2a or alfa-2b) plus RBV planned for 48 weeks. We present the results of the first 16 evaluable patients. Sustained virological response (SVR) was defined as undetectable serum HCV-RNA viral load (VL) 6 months after therapy. We performed an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Results: Median (IQR) age was 39 (38;45) years, 81% of recipients were male and former drug use (81%) was the most common HIV-1 risk factor. Pre-OLT median (IQR) MELD was 17 (12;21). Efavirenz-based regimens were the most common pre-OLT (56%) and post-OLT (75%) antiretroviral treatment. Median (IQR) CD4 cell count pre-OLT was 288 (180;425) cells/mm3 and all but one patient had undetectable plasma HIV- RNA VL. Patients received cyclosporine- or tacrolimus-based regimens in 32% and 68% of cases, respectively. Genotypes 1/4 or 2/3 were diagnosed in 12 (75%) and 4 (25%) cases, respectively. Median (IQR) serum HCV-RNA VL before starting therapy was 1,434,000 (780,000;3,200,000) IU/mL. Treatment was started a median (IQR) of 7 (5;11) months after OLT. Overall, early virological response (decrease of 2 logs of HCV-RNA VL at 12 weeks), end of therapy response, and SVR were seen in 9 (56%), 5 (31%) and 4 (25%) cases, respectively. SVR rates for genotypes 1/4 or 2/3 were 17% and 50%, respectively. Six patients required erythro/darbopoietin and four G-CSF due to severe anemia and neutropenia. Anti-HCV treatment was stopped due to toxicity or non-virological response in 2 (17%) and 6 (37%) patients, respectively. Six of the 12 non-responders died (50%) because of graft loss due to recurrent HCV infection. Six non-responders had been treated before OLT without SVR. Conclusions: The rate of SVR with PEG-INF plus RBV was low (25%). New strategies are necessary to improve the outcome of OLT in coinfected patients.

Recurrent HCV after OLT is a major cause of graft loss and death in HCV-HIV coinfected patients. Information regarding anti-HCV therapy in these patients is scarce.* Rx of HIV-infected patients with recurrent HCV after OLT with PEG-INF+RBV To evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with pegylated-interferon (PEG-INF) and ribavirin (RBV) for recurrent HCV after OLT in this population. OBJECTIVE BACKGROUND * Miró JM et al. Journal of HIV Therapy (in press).

Prospective study of all HIV-1-infected patients who underwent OLT in Spain. HIV (stage, CD4 cell count, plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load, ART), liver disease (etiology, stage), OLT characteristics at baseline and after OLT, and anti- HCV treatment characteristics were collected using a standardized CRF. Each site used the same immunosuppressive regimens & prophylaxis protocols as for their HIV- negative patients. Prospective study of all HIV-1-infected patients who underwent OLT in Spain.

The overall rate of SVR with PEG-INF plus RBV was low (25%): 17% for genotypes 1/4 (N=12) and 50% for genotypes 2/3 (N=4). None of the six patients unsuccessfully treated with INF or PEG-INF+RBV before OLT had an SVR when they were treated again after OLT. All patients with SVR lived, whereas 50% of patients without SVR died due to ESLD in most cases. New strategies are necessary to improve the outcome of HCV recurrence in OLT in co-infected patients.
