摘要

Background Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) are highly effective for treatment of hepatitis C (HCV) but brand products are priced beyond the means of most low and middle income countries (LMICs). Although a few DAAs are offered at reduced prices in access programs, they are still beyond affordability in limited resource settings with a large HCV infected population. Cheap generics might fill this economic need, but studies comparing their clinical efficacy to that of original products are limited. Aim To compare efficacy of brand and generic DAAs used in the national treatment program in Egypt. Methods HCV treatment eligible patients (n = 971) were enrolled. They were treated with 12 weeks of either sofosbuvir-daclatasvir (SOF-DCV) or SOF-ledipasvir (SOF-LDV). Ribavirin (RBV) was added to patients with cirrhosis and to SOF experienced patients. Patients with cirrhosis who were RBV intolerant were treated for 24 weeks without RBV. Results Most patients were males (61.4%), treatment na?ve (88.6%), without cirrhosis (61.7%), and the mean age was 51.3 ± 11.31 years. Baseline characteristics were not different in patients treated with brand or generic medications regarding age, liver tests, creatinine, platelets, MELD score, baseline HCV-RNA and transient elastography. Overall sustained virologic response (SVR) rate was 98.1%, which was similar for generic and brand drugs (98.2% vs. 98.1%; p = 1), and similar with both regimens used (SOF-DCV ± RBV: brand: 98.1%, generic 97.8%; p = 0.729, SOF-LDV ± RBV: brand 98.2%, generic 100%; p = 0.729). AST and ALT decreased significantly with initiation of therapy with both generic and original drugs. Conclusion Generic and brand DAAs are equally effective for achieving SVR and improving aminotransferases.
