  16. STEROIDS AND HCV • Controversial role • Increase viral load (Fong Gastro 1994, Gane Gastro 1996) • Increase viral hepatocyte entry (Gastro 2010) • Boluses of steroids deleterious (Berenguer J Hepatol 2000) • Rapid withdrawal deleterious (Berenguer Hepatology 2003, McCaughan J Hepatol 2004, Vivarelli J Hepatol 2007) • Immune rebound? • Immunosuppression without steroids: not yet proven beneficial (Klintmaln Liver Transplant 2007)

  18. HCV Recurrence , Cyclosporine vs Tacrolimus • There iscurrently no proof of superiority of one vs another • Antiviral effect of Cyclosporine only in vitro • Betterefficacy of IFN in Ciclosporine patients not confirmed • Randomizedstudiesshowedearlierreinfectionwith Tac but no difference in fibrosis stage, bettersurvivalwith Tac? Samonakis, J Hepatol 2012 in Press, Berenguer Nat Rev Gastroenterol 2011

  19. ANTIVIRAL TREATMENT BEFORE LIVER TRANSPLANTATION • Difficult to manage in decompensated cirrhotic patients • Risk of deterioration of liver function • Risk of sepsis, severe neutropenia, and anemia • Poor antiviral effect at this stage • However, some patients candidates to LT: • Have preserved liver function (those with HCC) • Have a long expected waiting time for LT • Have never been treated or are ”false” non responders

  20. ANTIVIRAL TREATMENT BEFORE LIVER TRANSPLANTATION • 124 patients • 56 Child A, 45 Child B, 23 Child C • 86 Genotype 1, 16 Genotype 2, 17 Genotype 3 • SVR: • 50% in genotype non-1, • 13% in genotype 1 • 22 complications in 15 patients ( 21 in Child B and C), 4 died • No HCV recurrence in sustained responders. • Everson Hepatology 2005

  25. Direct Antiviral Agents Before LTA New Challenge • Data In cirrhotic patients are lacking • Therapieswith IFN willremainpoorlytolerated • Increasepossibility to achieve SVR or on treatmentvirologicresponse • Increaserisk of virologicbreakthrough • Duration, safety issues to beanalysed • Therapieswithout IFN awaited

  39. Direct Antiviral Agents After LTA New Challenge • Increase possibility to achieve SVR or on treatment virologic response • Interaction between anti NS3 protease and calcineurin inhibitors • Duration, safety issues to be analysed • Therapies without IFN awaited

  40. Telaprevir and Cyclosprine and Tacrolimus Interactions Cmax increased by 1.4X AUC Increased by 4.1-4.6X T1/2 increased by 4 X Cmax increased by 9.3X AUC Increased by 70X T1/2 increased by 5 X GargHepatology 2011

  42. Evolution of Patient Survivalafter LT for Virus C Cirrhosiswithout HCC in Europe (ELTR: 1988-2010) www.eltr.org

  43. CONCLUSION • Survival still affected by HCV recurrence • Monitoring combining liver biopsy and non invasive methods • Treatment before Transplantation poorly effective • SVR before LT , no recurrence post-LT • HCVRNA negativity at LT, Risk of post transplant recurrence reduced by 70% • Treatment after transplantation : • Effective at time of Chronic hepatitis before the F3 stage • 30-40% SVR in G1 Patients • 70% SVR in G2-G3 Patients

  44. CONCLUSION • Advent of Direct antiviral agents will open a new era • Before LT: Presence of IFN in the treatment arm will remain a limitating factor • After LT: new strategies will arise • Viral breakthrough, tolerance, interaction with calcineurin inhibitors, treatment duration: • Open questions for the close future
