Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have significantly improved treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and almost all patients receiving these drugs achieve sustained virol. response (SVR).However, there is still a niche of individuals with HCV who cannot be treated because of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), one of the few remaining impediments to DAA use.DDIs with antiseizure medication (ASM) are especially important, as clin. experience has shown that in some cases these drugs cannot be discontinued or replaced by others during HCV therapy.This is a description of 5 patients with chronic HCV infection receiving ASMs who were treated with DAAs even though co-administration of these drugs is not recommended due to potential DDIs.All patients achieved an end-of-treatment response and SVR12 and no adverse events or required dose modifications were reported.Patient 1 was a 40-yr-old man on treatment with oxcarbazepine 300 mg BID for a psychotic and personality disorder; the attending psychiatrist deemed that treatment discontinuation was not feasible, as the patient's condition was extremely labile, and concomitant medications were clorazepate 50 mg daily, clotiapine 40 mg daily, levetiracetam 500 mg BID, and zuclopenthixol 25 mg QID.Patient 2 was a 39-yr-old man on treatment with oxcarbazepine 600 mg TID for epilepsy; the neurologist attempted a switch from oxcarbazepine to levetiracetam to avoid interactions with DAAs, but 1 wk later the patient experienced several complex seizures; hence, oxcarbazepine was re-started, and no concomitant medications.Patient 3 was a 54-yr-old man on treatment with phenytoin 100 mg BID for epilepsy; although the neurologist was willing to change his medication, the patient refused, and concomitant medications were dolutegravir 50 mg daily, abacavir 600 mg daily, lamivudine 300 mg daily, and clonazepam 0.5 mg daily.Patient 4 was a 38-yr-old man on treatment with oxcarbazepine 600 mg BID for a psychotic and personality disorder; psychiatrist considered that that the patient's labile condition made oxcarbazepine discontinuation unfeasible, and concomitant medications werfe clonazepam 2 mg TID, paroxetine 20 mg daily, perphenazine 8 mg daily, and quetiapine 200 mg daily.Patient 5 was a 43-yr-old man on treatment with eslicarbazepine 400 mg TID for epilepsy; the neurologist switched eslicarbazepine to brivaracetam to avoid interactions with DAAs, but eslicarbazepine had to be re-started because of adverse events, and concomitant medications were topiramate 75 mg BID, ser- traline 100 mg daily, clobazam 25 mg daily, enalapril 20 mg daily, and bisoprolol 5mg daily.This report has the shortcoming that plasma DAA concentrations and HCV RNA levels were not serially analyzed during therapy, as these are real-life patients and such determinations are not routinely done in this clin. situation.In conclusion, the cases reported here indicate promising outcomes for HCV treatment in patients receiving ASMs.DDIs, together with the known dif fi culties related to screening and linkage-to-care in some HCV-infected populations are the main obstacles we have yet to overcome to achieve the WHO HCV elimination goals.
