Abstract
While hepatitis C exemplifies the role of host genetics in infectious diseases outcomes, there is no comprehensive overview of polymorphisms influencing spontaneous and/or treatment-induced hepatitis C virus clearance. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of host polymorphisms associated with these phenotypes. Literature search was conducted using combinations of keywords in three databases. Studies were reviewed and relevant data systematically extracted for subsequent meta-analyses. Polymorphisms from candidate gene studies were tested in two cohorts of HCV-infected patients with available genomic data. The literature search yielded 8'294 citations, among which 262 studies were selected. In the meta-analysis of 27 HLA studies, the most significant associations with spontaneous hepatitis C virus clearance included DQB1*02, DQB1*03, DRB1*04 and DRB1*11. In the meta-analysis of 16 studies of KIR genes and their HLA-ligands, KIR2DS3 was associated with both spontaneous and treatment-induced clearance, and the HLA-C2 ligand with failure to spontaneously clear the virus. In a pooled analysis of 105 candidate genes and two genome-wide association studies, we observed associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms from nine genes (EIF2AK2, IFNAR2, ITPA, MBL2, MX1, OASL, SPP1, TGFB1, TNK2) with response to interferon-based therapy. Meta-analysis of 141 studies confirmed the association of IFNL3/4 polymorphisms with spontaneous and treatment-induced hepatitis C virus clearance, even in previously underpowered groups, such as hepatitis C virus genotypes 2/3-infected patients. This study may contribute to a better understanding of hepatitis C virus immunopathogenesis and highlights the complex role of host genetics in hepatitis C virus clearance.

Abstract
Dual therapy (pegylated interferon plus ribavirin) was considered the standard of care for hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment until 2011, when the first-wave direct-acting antivirals were added to this regimen for HCV genotype-1 patients to increase the sustained virological response rate. The second-wave direct-acting antivirals entered the clinical use also in some ribavirin (RBV)- and/or interferon-free combinations. Nevertheless, since some of the new therapeutic regimens also include RBV and its use results still associated with hemolytic anemia, this requires countermeasures to be prevented. These include the identification of several host predictive factors involved in RBV absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and many others that might influence this toxic effect. For this reason, we provided an overview of the potential role of pharmacogenomics in predisposing RBV-treated HCV patients to anemia.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global epidemic, affecting approximately 150 million individuals throughout the world. The implications of HCV infection have been magnified in those who are infected with both HCV and the HIV as liver disease progression, liver failure and liver-related death are increased, particularly in those without well-controlled HIV disease. The development of direct-acting antiviral agents for HCV that allow shorter treatment periods with increased efficacy and decreased adverse events have greatly changed the outlook for HCV-infected individuals. With these advancements, growing treatment options for the coinfected population have also come. This review will address pharmacotherapy issues in the HIV/HCV coinfected population.

Abstract
Drug development is increasingly global. The benefits of multiregional trials include worldwide evaluation of safety and efficacy. However, clinical practice, environmental, and genetic factors can vary across geographic regions, significantly influencing trial outcomes within a specific geographic region or the global population relative to the United States (US). Genomic technologies and research discoveries continue to advance at a remarkable pace, offering opportunities to explore intrinsic factors that could account for regional variability in drug pharmacokinetics or response.

Abstract
In 2011 direct-acting antivirals, including telaprevir, have been developed to achieve a better antiviral effect. It was reported that telaprevir is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) and cytochrome P450 3A4. The aim of this retrospective study was the evaluation of the influence of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes (ABCB1, SLC28A2/3, SLC29A1) involved in TLV and RBV transport and their correlation with plasma TLV drug exposure at 1 month of therapy. We also investigated the association of a SNP in ABCB11 gene, whose role in TLV transport was not yet shown. Twenty-nine HCV-1 patients treated with telaprevir, ribavirin and pegylated-interferon-α were retrospectively analyzed; allelic discrimination was performed by real-time PCR. Telaprevir Ctrough levels were influenced by Metavir score (P=0.023), ABCB1 2677 G>T (P=0.006), ABCB1 1236 C>T (P=0.015) and ABCB11 1131 T>C (P=0.033) SNPs. Regarding ABCB1 3435 C>T, a not statistically significant trend in telaprevir plasma concentration was observed. Metavir score (P=0.002, OR -336; 95% CI -535;-138), ABCB1 2677 (P=0.020, OR 497; 95% CI 86; 910), ABCB11 1131 (P=0.002, OR 641; 95% CI 259;1023) and CNT2 -146 (P=0.006, OR -426; 95% CI -721;-132) were able to predict telaprevir plasma levels in the regression analysis. Other SNPs showed no association. This study reveals BSEP implication in telaprevir transport and confirms the involvement and influence of P-glycoprotein on telaprevir plasma levels. To date, no similar data concerning pharmacogenetics and pharmacokinetics were published, but further studies in different and bigger cohorts are needed.

Abstract
The objective of this opinion paper was to identify and describe potential clinical pharmacists' services for the prevention and management of patients infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The goals of this paper are to guide the establishment and development of pharmacy services for patients infected with HCV and to highlight HCV research and educational opportunities. Recommendations were based on the following: a review of published data on clinical pharmacist involvement in the treatment and management of HCV-infected patients; a consensus of clinical pharmacists who provide direct patient care to HCV-infected patients and practice in different pharmacy models, including community-based and academic settings; and a review of published guidelines and literature focusing on the treatment and management of HCV infections. The recommendations provided in this opinion paper define the areas of clinical pharmacist involvement and clinical pharmacy practice in the treatment and management of patients with HCV. Clinical pharmacists can promote preventive measures and education about reducing HCV transmission, improve medication adherence, assist in monitoring clinical and adverse effects, recommend treatment strategies to minimize adverse effects and drug interactions, and facilitate medication acquisition and logistics that positively improve patient outcomes and reduce the health care system costs.

Ribavirin at the Era of Novel Direct Antiviral Agents for the Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection: Relevance of Pharmacological Monitoring. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2014.

Abstract
Ribavirin is often used for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Although its mechanisms of action remain to be clearly elucidated, ribavirin plays a beneficial role for achieving virological response and decreasing the rate of virological relapse after treatment cessation. However, ribavirin may induce side effects leading to early treatment discontinuation. Among them, hemolytic anemia is the most frequent and results from intraerythrocyte accumulation. Pharmacological studies have shown that early ribavirin exposure assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) at day 0 and ribavirin trough concentration during the first three months of therapy were correlated with sustained virological response (SVR). These studies highlighted the relevance of ribavirin pharmacologic monitoring and early dose adaptation during therapy. Although the role of ribavirin within new direct acting antiviral (DAA) combinations will probably decrease in the future, its potential benefit in difficult-to-treat patients such as patients with severe hepatopathy or patients who failed triple therapy including patients with multiresistance will need to be further investigated.
