Overview

Assessment of Needs

This webinar will briefly review the potential for the emergence of HCV drug resistance following DAA treatment failure. Dr Wyles will provide historical context for the impact of HCV DAA resistance on retreatment approaches with older DAA regimens. He will also review data supporting the approval of new DAA regimens, focusing on persons whose previous DAA treatment failed. Finally, for such persons, the webinar will offer treatment approaches using newer regimens and taking into account current indications and guideline recommendations.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this webinar, learners will be able to:

  • Describe HCV resistance-associated substitutions after failure of a DAA regimen
  • Describe the data supporting the approval of new DAA regimens for the treatment of HCV infection
  • Develop a framework for treatment of HCV infection after failure of a DAA regimen, using newly approved treatment regimens
