Egypt has the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in the world. Sofosbuvir is a new highly effective drug for treatment of HCV infection. Compared to previous treatments, sofosbuvir-based regimens provide a higher cure rate, fewer side effects, and a two- to fourfold reduced duration of therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin in Egyptian patients with liver cirrhosis due to chronic HCV infection. We studied 2400 cirrhotic Egyptian patients with chronic HCV infection who were treated with dual therapy with sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 24 weeks. Efficacy was determined by assessment of serum HCV RNA. Any adverse events during treatment were recorded. Two thousand four hundred cirrhotic Egyptian patients with chronic HCV infection treated with sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 24 weeks were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the studied group (± SD) was 53.9 ± 6.5 years, 1549 (64.54%) were males, all were cirrhotic patients, 3.41% were treatment-experienced, the baseline mean HCV RNA concentration was 4.33 × 106 IU/mL, and 94.37% of the patients had completed the full course of therapy. The overall SVR12 rate was 71.2%. The most common adverse events were fatigue, myalgia, headache, insomnia, and anemia. One hundred thirty-five (5.63%) patients stopped treatment permanently due to the appearance of complications that prevented continuation of treatment. The sofosbuvir and ribavirin combination is safe and effective in treatment of HCV patients with liver cirrhosis. However, further studies are needed to establish the optimal treatment regimen for those cases.
