Management of chronic hepatitis D (CHD) has entered a new era. In this new era, the virus entry inhibitor bulevirtide has received conditional approval as a treatment for compensated CHD. Three phase 3 studies with two new compounds are ongoing for the treatment of CHD. In this context, surrogate markers of treatment efficacy have been well defined for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) (7) and chronic hepatitis C (8) but not for CHD. The aim of this review is to give a perspective on treatment endpoints in CHD. For this, we took guidance from CHB studies and tried to make suggestions which differed according to finite versus prolonged treatment durations and also took into account the different characteristics of the new compounds.

Introduction: Conventional mortality statistics that concentrate only on the underlying cause of death may offer a limited view of the complexity of this condition and not fully capture the true extent of mortality from hepatitis C.
Objective: To describe and analyze deaths due to chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in Brazil, as both a underlying and multiple cause of death, from 2000 to 2019.
Methods: This ecological study used data extracted from the Mortality Information System and descriptively analyzed causes of death and sociodemographic variables for the deceased.

Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have transformed hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment in Australia since their inclusion on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in 2016. Treatment has shifted from genotype-specific to pan-genotypic regimens, with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir and sofosbuvir/velpatasvir now recommended in clinical guidelines. This study examined trends in DAA dispensing in light of evolving treatment regimens.

Background And Aims: Sofosbuvir (SOF) plus daclatasvir (DCV) is a primary chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment in low- and middle-income countries. WHO guidelines recommend a half-adult dose for children (14-25 kg) based on pharmacokinetic modelling, requiring clinical validation. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and acceptability of DCV (30 mg) and SOF (200 mg) in children weighing 14 to < 17 kg and 17-35 kg.
