Title: Mavyret Cures Hep C at High Rates in Historically Underserved Groups
Post by: Hep Editors on February 26, 2020, 01:28:42 pm

People in historically underserved groups achieve a hepatitis C virus (HCV) cure at high rates when treated with Mavyret (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir).

Such historically underserved individuals with HCV include people who use drugs (PWUD); people with psychiatric disorders, a history of alcohol use (at least two drinks per day on average) or low adherence to HCV treatment; and people who are unemployed or have a low level of education.

Mavyret is approved to treat all genotypes of HCV.
