 The next generation of DAAs offers increased response rates and, furthermore, a better safety pattern than TVR or BOC. Additionally, the dosing of the newer DAAs is easier and more convenient, and pharmacological interactions of the newer DAAs are easier to manage or even not relevant. The FDA has approved the second-generation PI simeprevir, the HCV non-structural NS protein NS 5B inhibitor sofosbuvir, as well as the inhibitors of NS 5A daclatasvir and ledipasvir. Apart from a better efficacy, safety and convenience, these new DAAs are active against HCV genotypes other than 1. Finally, some of the new DAAs can be administered in interferon-free regimens and therefore offer treatment options for interferon-intolerant individuals or for those with a contraindication for peg-IFN. Therefore, in the near future, the vast majority of HCV monoinfected patients will be treated with a combination including a DAA. Currently, the main problem is the high cost of the DAAs challenging the health systems.
