    Abstract After more than 5 years of intense preclinical and clinical research, the development of new hepatitis B virus (HBV) drugs appears to be stalling. The main reasons for this are the major limitations of the developmental path, including the use of inappropriate endpoints for clinical development, the standards for efficacy and approval being too strict (functional cure after short finite treatment duration), expecting compounds to do what they cannot do because of their known targets and mechanisms of action, and hoping that one size will fit all, despite the fact that HBV infection is heterogeneous. A functional HBV cure cannot be easily attained with only a few weeks or months of treatment with the classes of compounds that are currently in development. Therefore, researchers, drug developers, and regulators need to establish a new consensus about endpoints that are both clinically relevant and achievable, and redefine the objectives, timelines, and pathways of new HBV drug development.

    Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with ∼71 million chronically infected individuals worldwide. Treatment of patients with HCV-related liver disease has advanced considerably thanks to the development of new direct-acting antiviral drugs that are now administered as highly potent, safe, and well-tolerated combinations with a high barrier to resistance. International organizations, such as the European Association for the Study of the Liver, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases jointly with the Infectious Diseases Society of America, or the World Health Organization have published detailed treatment guidelines. With these therapies becoming more and more widely available, elimination of hepatitis C as a public health threat by 2030 can now be envisaged in several countries. In other regions, better screening, diagnosis, and linkage to care will be necessary to achieve this ambitious goal.

    Abstract December 2019 saw the emergence of a new epidemic of pneumonia of varying severity, called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by a newly identified coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). No therapeutic option is available to treat this infection that has already killed > 310 000 people worldwide. This Viewpoint summarizes the strong scientific arguments supporting the use of alisporivir, a nonimmunosuppressive analogue of cyclosporine A with potent cyclophilin inhibition properties that has reached phase 3 clinical development, for the treatment of COVID-19. They include the strong cyclophilin dependency of the life cycle of many coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and preclinical data showing strong antiviral and cytoprotective properties of alisporivir in various models of coronavirus infection, including SARS-CoV-2. Alisporivir should be tested without delay on both virological and clinical endpoints in patients with or at risk of severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract The treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has considerably evolved with the development of safe and well-tolerated combinations of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs yielding high rates of infection cure. However, some patients fail to achieve a sustained virological response while receiving the most recent DAA combinations. Several waves of treatment failures have occurred concomitantly to the use of different drug combinations. The outcome of their retreatment strongly depends on the DAA(s) received and the retreatment regimen(s) available. This article discusses virological failure rates with the successive waves of HCV combination regimens, the reasons for failure, the role of HCV resistance, and current retreatment options. The triple combination of sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir for 12 weeks is the first-line retreatment strategy in patients previously exposed to DAAs. Difficult-to-retreat patients may benefit from the combination of sofosbuvir plus glecaprevir/pibrentasvir and/or the addition of ribavirin and/or longer retreatment duration.
