TLDR
In phase 3 trials of patients with HCV infection, it was not established that sofosbuvir-velpatasvir-voxilaprevir for 8 weeks was noninferior to sofOSbuvir -velpat asvir for 12 weeks, but the 2 regimens had similar rates of SVR in patients withHCV genotype 3 and cirrhosis.

Metalloprotoporphyrin Inhibition of HCV NS3-4A Protease: Structure–Activity Relationships

TL;DR: The findings document the versatility of MPPs as antiviral agents with an expanded sensitivity for HCV genotypes and resistance to some common viral mutations and suggest that further study of MPP structure and function will be useful for the development of new antiviralagents.

Discovery of Voxilaprevir (GS-9857): The Pan-Genotypic Hepatitis C Virus NS3/4A Protease Inhibitor Utilized as a Component of Vosevi®

TL;DR: Structural modifications were made that both improved metabolic stability and reduced protein adduct formation, ultimately resulting in voxilaprevir, consistent with the optimization strategy, which has proven highly effective across genotypes in Phase 3 clinical trials and hepatoxicity has not been observed.

Sustained Virologic Response Rates of Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir in Patients with Hepatitis C Genotype 3: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: A meta-analysis showed a high SVR12 rate of sofosbuvir/VEL in GT3 patients regardless of compensated cirrhosis the status and/or a history of previous interferon-based treatments, highlighting the need for more trials investigating the effectiveness of the SOF/VEL regimen in patients with HCV subtype 3b.
