Het nut van het behalen van een SVR
Disclosures
Honoraria for consulting: AbbVie
• Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) may cause
hepatic fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis
• The incidence of HCV-induced cirrhosis is increasing1,2
• In case of cirrhosis
– Liver failure
– Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Liver transplantation / death
• Extra-hepatic symptoms already before advanced liver disease
HCV infection as health problem
1Davis Gastroenterology 2010, 2Buti J Hepatol 2005
Natural History of HCV-infection
• R.E.V.E.A.L. study from
Taiwan
• N=19 636
• Mean follow-up: 16.2y
• Chronic HCV infection
was associated with
increased risk of
all-cause mortality
1Lee J Infect Dis 2012
Antiviral therapy
• Antiviral therapy may clear the viral infection:
Sustained Virological Response (SVR)
1Swain Gastroenterology 2010
• SVR reached with IFN-therapy has
long-term durability1
• Marker of successful therapy in
and out of clinical trials
SVR rates have increased!
Recent advances: who needs interferon anymore?

Interferon-free regimens
• SVR is not the goal of antiviral therapy
• We treat patients in order to:
− Increase health-related quality of life
−Reduce liver-related morbidity
− Improve life expectancy
The goal of antiviral therapy
Randomized placebo-controlled trials showing a clear clinical
benefit of antiviral therapy are lacking
• Fatigue as most common physical complaint
– N=161 patients who attained SVR with PegIFN and RBV1
– Proportion with fatigue decreased from 53% at baseline to 33% 24 weeks
post treatment (p<0.001)
• Health-related quality of life (HR-QOL)
– Systematic review of 9 studies2
– The HR-QOL improved among patients with SVR, but not among patients
without SVR

• SVR is likely to result in a beneficial clinical outcome, with a
prolonged overall survival as most important endpoint
• SVR results in a lower incidence of extrahepatic manifestations
and improves quality of life
• Achievement of SVR does not dismiss a cirrhotic patient from
HCC surveillance!
