This real-world analysis provided a thorough characterization on the burden of polymedication regimens in HCV patients treated with SOF/VEL or GLE/PIB that expose such patients to an increased risk of DDIs. In our sample population, SOF/VEL regimen was more frequently detected on elderly patients and on those with ≥2 comedications at risk of multi-DDI, ie, among patients characterized by higher rates of comorbidities and polypharmacy.
