Summary What is known and objective No studies have evaluated the use of sorafenib with the direct‐acting antiviral ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir ( OBV / PTV /r+ DSV ). Case summary Three hepatitis C virus genotype 1b‐infected patients with well‐preserved liver function were included in this prospective case series. The patients were taking sorafenib for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and received OBV / PTV /r+ DSV for 12 weeks. One patient discontinued sorafenib while concomitant treatment due to grade 2 fatigue and muscular pain. The other two patients reported only grade 1 adverse effects. Sustained virologic response at 24 weeks was achieved, and no tumour recurrences were found. What is new and conclusion The concurrent use of OBV / PTV /r+ DSV with sorafenib was considered safe and effective.
