Engaging hepatitis C infected patients in cost‐effectiveness analyses: A literature review

T. Joseph Mattingly, Eleanor M. Perfetto, Sophia L. Johnson – 23 August 2017 – Cost‐effectiveness analyses (CEAs) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment strategies have become common, but few appear to include patient engagement or the patient perspective. The objectives of the current study were to (1) identify published HCV CEA studies that include patient input and (2) derive insights on patient‐informed variable and outcome selection to build a framework for future economic analyses of HCV.

Concomitant proton pump inhibitor use does not reduce the efficacy of elbasvir/grazoprevir: A pooled analysis of 1,322 patients with hepatitis C infection

Nancy Reau, Michael N. Robertson, Hwa‐Ping Feng, Luzelena Caro, Wendy W. Yeh, Bach‐Yen T. Nguyen, Janice Wahl, Eliav Barr, Peggy Hwang, Stephanie O. Klopfer – 22 August 2017 – Concomitant proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use reduces plasma concentrations of certain nonstructural protein 5A inhibitors, which are key components of modern hepatitis C infection (HCV) treatments. These reduced concentrations may decrease efficacy, leading to challenging treatment failures due to the development of resistance‐associated substitutions.

Radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: Statistical confirmation of improved survival in responders by landmark analyses

Ahsun Riaz, Ahmed Gabr, Nadine Abouchaleh, Rehan Ali, Ali Al Asadi, Ronald Mora, Laura Kulik, Kush Desai, Bartley Thornburg, Samdeep Mouli, Ryan Hickey, Frank H. Miller, Vahid Yaghmai, Daniel Ganger, Robert J. Lewandowski, Riad Salem – 18 August 2017 – Does imaging response predict survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)? We studied the ability of posttherapeutic imaging response to predict overall survival. Over 14 years, 948 patients with HCC were treated with radioembolization.
