THE HEPATITIS C CHALLENGE
1989
The burden of HCV infection
• Aproximately 3.9 million infected in USA
– 35.000 estimated new cases per year
– 85% became chronic
• 10.000-20.000 deaths per year associated to HCV
– Estimated to become 3 times larger in the next 10-20 years
• Principal cause of
– Chronic liver disease
– Cirrhosis
– Liver cancer
– Liver Transplantation

But only 0,5 a 1,8% of the patients needing care...and what is the SVR ?
PROBLEMS
• Personal expectatives ?
• How many ?
• Myths
–HCV is always complex
–HCV is always expensive
Imbalance....
Knowledge evolution
Patients needs (the best, now!)
Disease burden
System organization:
Assistance net
Financing
Personal expectatives...different angles...
Solution ?
To manage !
Local organization.
Training on disease management and estabilish
routines;
Spread of assistance;
Fight miths:
It is expensive...
It is complex...
Every patients take medicines...
I do not have what offer...
HCV: predictable disease!
Inclusion:
Basic assistance:
Time to organize !
Advisory/ Non-pharmacological approach/ Harm
reduction/ Serological testing. !
Time to stratify risk
Time to Harm Reduction (avoid coinfections)!
TIME!
Clinical & Laboratory
Time to non-pharmacologic therapies!
evaluation.
Time in HCV Natural History= YEARS !
Avoid traps:ex.liver biopsy !*
*use of new non-invasive markers
Therapy (including the simple and inexpensive
PLATELET COUNT!!!!)
Possible paths to follow.
1.Recognize the
problem: impacts &
prevalence.
2. Define as a
priority issue.
3. Make a plan.
3.1Consider Natural History as an allied
and Harm Reductions policies
3.2 Join Medical and Patients societies
3.3 Establish a broad Therapeutic Protocol
3.3.1 – Non pharmacological
3.3.2 - Pharmacologic
Conclusions
• Magnitude and virologic aspects similar to developed countries, p.ex. USA.
• Liver disease (HCV related) is an important and increasing cause of death
in Brazil
• Despite efforts, assistance still far from ideal
– Access
– Lack of exams
– Southeast/South axis
– Free Rx but how to expand assistance ?
– Economic impact: raising costs (Rx, Tx, Post-Tx Rx…)
• Future burden of retreatment (increase # of NR) & DAAs (costs, resistance,
compliance…)
• Poor real-life results
– Compliance issues ?
– Genetic/racial issues ?
• To be evaluated – IL28B polymorphism!
Among the universe of HCV
carriers in the USA
for each 100 tested,
only 49 were refered,
27 went to a
medical consultation,
17 did a liver biopsy and
only 10 were treated.
What about us?
Irving et al J Viral Hep 13, 2006
Effectiveness of Hepatitis C Treatment with Pegylated
Interferon and Ribavirin in Urban Minority Patients.
(HEPATOLOGY 2010;51:1137-1143.
Paul Feuerstadt,1 Ari L. Bunim,1 Heriberto Garcia,2 Jordan J. Karlitz,3 Hatef
Massoumi,4 Amar J. Thosani,4 Andrew Pellecchia,1 Allan W. Wolkoff,4 Paul J.
Gaglio,4 and John F. Reinus4.
Intention-to-treat analysis (ITT) showed SVR in 14% of genotype 1 patients and
37% in genotype 2/3 patients (P < 0.001). SVR was significantly higher in
faculty practice (27%) than in clinic patients (15%) by intention-to-treat (P 0.01)
but not per-protocol analysis (46% faculty practice, 34% clinic).
3.3% of 1,656 treatment-naïve, HIV antibody–negative individuals ultimately
achieved SVR.
Current hepatitis C therapies may sometimes be unavailable to, inappropriate
for, and ineffective in United States urban patients. Treatment with pegylated
interferon and ribavirin was less effective in this population than is implied by
multinational phase III controlled trials. New strategies are needed to care for
such patients.
HCV Prevention, Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment – a Practical Country
Case Study: Brazil.
• Prevention • Diagnosis
– HBV vaccination, – Strengthen official laboratories.
educational activities – Centralized offer of Biomolecular
(ex.cosmetic clinics, laws, Tests.
days and weeks of – Liver biopsies – a big concern.
prevention)
– Harm reduction policies: • Treatment
still weak. – Official rules.
– Avoid co-infections ! – Treat who needs to be treated
• Screening – Central buying medicines.
– Serologic and Campaigns – Use of Aids net
(NGOs) with point-of-care – Direct observation therapies
tests (thousands of tests – Multidisciplinary approach
and counseling!!!) – OBTAIN compliance !
Brazilian proposition to WHO.
Facts & Faces to remember:
Harvey Alter & Qui-Lim Choo Jeová Fragoso and Carlos Varaldo two cornerstone
at the 20th HCV Anniversary Leadership in the NGOs moviment at the 20th HCV
Symposia in Brazil (2009). Anniversary Symposia in Brazil (2009).
The first step The more advanced step The necessary step
The ultimate step: union to win !
Working together against HCV: physicians, researchers, government and NGOs/
patients (picture took at the end of the HCV 20 years Symposia, Brazil2009).
