Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the twenty-four month follow-up efficacy for patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) after sustained virological response (SVR) to different direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) treatment regimen. Methods 123 patients with CHC were enrolled in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2020, and were divided into three groups, receiving sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in 52 cases, elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) in 43 cases, and ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) in 28 cases. The antiviral regimen lasted for 12 weeks and all patients were followed-up for 24 weeks. Serum HCV RNA loads were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. The rapid virological response (RVR), early virological response (EVR), end of treatment virological response (ETVR) and SVR were recorded in three groups. Results The RVR in SOF/VEL-, EBR/GZR- and LDV/SOF-treated patients were 96.2%, 93.0% and 92.9%, the EVR were 98.1%, 97.7% and 96.4%, the ETVR and SVR in all patients were 100.0%, not significantly different among the three groups ( all P>0.05); during the treatment, the incidences of untoward effects, such as nausea, fatigue and dizziness, in the three groups were 13.5%, 11.6% and 21.4%, not significant different among them (P>0.05); 7, 7 and 5 patients with SVR in the three groups lost, all other patients with SVR were followed-up for 24 months, and no relapse or liver cancer were found. Conclusion All the antiviral regimen, with different DAAs have good efficacy as HCV GT1b infection is common in China, and no relatively long-term relapse.
