AimSofosbuvir (SOF) and ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy produces a sustained response in many patients with genotype 2 chronic hepatitis C. However, RBV‐induced anemia is a troublesome side‐effect that may limit this treatment. Genetic variation leading to inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) deficiency is known to protect against RBV‐induced hemolytic anemia. This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between the efficacy and safety of SOF/RBV treatment andITPAgene variants.MethodsNinety patients with genotype 2 chronic hepatitis C treated with SOF/RBV were studied. The relationships among genetic polymorphisms ofITPAand the decline in hemoglobin levels from baseline, RBV dose reduction, and sustained virological response (SVR) rates were analyzed.ResultsOverall SVR at 12 weeks was 94.4% (85/90). Patients with theITPACA/AA genotypes had a lower degree of anemia throughout the therapy than those with theITPACC genotype. The percentage of patients requiring RBV dose reduction was significantly lower for those with theITPACA/AA variation, a difference even more apparent when the pretreatment hemoglobin level was <12 g/dL. The dose reduction of RBV and serum albumin level were significantly associated with SVR.ConclusionsPatients with theITPACA/AA genotype were less likely to develop anemia than those with theITPACC genotype and were more likely to complete SOF/RBV therapy. These results may provide a valuable pharmacogenetic diagnostic tool to predict drug‐induced adverse events, particularly in patients with pre‐existing anemia.
