Design

  • SOF/VEL: 400/100 mg FDC qd ;
  • GS-9857: 100 mg qd

Objective

  • SVR12 (HCV RNA < 15 IU/ml), by ITT

Baseline characteristics and outcome in genotype 1 with 4 or 6 weeks of therapy


* Danoprevir + mericitabine , N = 14 ; danoprevir + mericitabine + ritonavir + RBV, N = 6 ; DCV + VX135, N = 3, SOF/LDV + RBV, N = 1 ; faldaprevir + deleobuvir + RBV, N = 4 ; TVR + lomibuvir ± RBV, N = 2

Baseline characteristics, disposition and outcome in genotype 1 with 8 weeks of therapy or in genotype 3

SVR12 according to baseline NS5A RASs in genotype 1 with 4 or 6 weeks of therapy

  • Treatment naïve (N = 30)
    • Baseline RASs = 16 >>> SVR12 in 100%
    • No RASs = 14 >>> SVR12 in 79%
  • Prior DAA failure (N = 29)
    • Baseline RASs = 13 >>> SVR12 in 77%
    • No RASs = 16 >>> SVR12 in 63%

SVR12 according to baseline RASs in genotype 1 with 8 weeks of therapy or in genotype 3

  • No RASs = 46 >>> SVR12 in 97.8%
  • NSRA RASs = 23 >>> SVR12 in 87%
  • NS3 RASs = 26 >>> SVR12 in 85%

SVR12 according to prior failure

  • Failure to PI-based therapy, N = 28
    • Baseline NS3 RASs in 15/28 (54%) >>> SVR12 in 13/15 (87%)
  • Failure to NS5A inhibitor (N = 7)
    • Baseline NS3 RASs in 6/7 (86%) >>> SVR12 in 5/6 (83%)

Relapse, N = 28

  • No emergence of RAS, N = 26
    • No RAS at baseline and failure, N = 15
    • Same RASs at baseline and failure, N = 6
    • Baseline RASs but no RAS at failure, N = 5
  • Emergence of RASs, N = 2
    • Treatment-n aïve, 6 weeks of treatment: NS3 RAS V55A emerged at 2% of the viral population at the time of relapse
    • PI-experienced, 8 weeks of treatment: NS5A RAS Y93H emerged at 2% of the viral population at the time of relapse in addition to the pree xisting NS3 RAS R155K

Adverse events and laboratory abnormalities, %


* Atrial fibrillation, hepatocellular carcinoma and bladder cancer, all unrelated to study drug

Summary

  • SOF/VEL + GS-9857 for 6 weeks was highly effective in treatment-naïve genotype 1 patients without cirrhosis
    • Shortening treatment to 4 weeks was associated with very low SVR12
  • SOF/VEL + GS-9857 for 8 weeks resulted in high SVR12 rates in difficult-to-cure, treatment-experienced patients
    • 100% in cirrhotic PEG-IFN + RBV-experienced genotype 1 and genotype 3
    • 89% in PI-experienced genotype 1
  • Baseline NS3 RASs had limited impact on SVR rates among PI-experienced patients treated with SOF/VEL + GS-9857 for 8 weeks
    • SVR 12 of 87% if RASs at baseline vs 92% if no RAS
  • The combination was safe and well tolerated
