Treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is evolving from interferon (IFN)-based therapy to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents, yet some safety concerns have arisen involving cardiac toxicity. In this study, we sought to better understand the potential off-target toxicities of new DAAs. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and pathological findings of the sentinel case in a phase II study that led to clinical development discontinuation for BMS-986094, an HCV nucleotide polymerase (nonstructural 5B) inhibitor. We also report on outcomes from other patients in the same study, including electrocardiogram changes, cardiovascular biomarkers, and transthoracic echocardiograms. Thirty-four patients received IFN-free BMS-986094 regimens. Six patients had left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEFs)
