Abstract
Objective:Direct acting antivirals (DAA) is a class of antivirals that hasbeen extensively used in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients over the past 6 years.Despite the excellent therapeutic benefits of DAA, there is a knowledge gap regardingthe safety of this class. Several reports of possible renal toxicity associated with DAAadministration can be found in the literature. The aims of this study are: to assess therenal safety of DAA used for the treatment of chronic HCV infection and to quantify the odds ofdeveloping renaltoxicityin patients withchronicHCV viralinfection.
Study Design: Disproportionalityanalysiswasusedtodetectsignalsofpotentialsideeffects.
Place andDuration: Amman –Jordan,One year study since September 2017 to march 2018.
Methods: The method that was applied in the current study is obtaining the data from United States (US) food and drug administration(FDA)adverseeventreportingsystem(FAERS).DatabetweenJuly,2014andSeptember,2017werecombinedandexplored.Disproportionalityanalysiswasconducted to reports from chronic HCV patients to explore possible association betweenDAA administrationand renalsideeffects.
Results: This study showed that a total of 3,837,418 safety reports were available in the period between July,2014 and September, 2017. Patients with chronic HCV infection represent 22,022 cases.When considering all DAA as drug of interest, the use of DAA alone or in combinationwith interferon and/or ribavirin did not increase the risk of having renal side effects.Exploring individual DAA demonstrated a significant association between the incidenceofrenalsideeffectsandtheadministrationoftelapreviranddasabuvir.ConsideringrenalsideeffectsindividuallyshowedasignificantassociationbetweenDAAadministrationand chronickidney disease.
Conclusions: In this study, we reported a significant association between DAA administration andchronic kidney disease and between telaprevir or dasabuvir and renal side effect. Thesefindings are used for hypothesis generation rather than testing.
