Design
* Randomisation was stratified by treatment history (experienced vs naive) and for treatment-experienced on prior non-response (null, partial, relapse)
** Metavir > 3 or Ishak > 4, or Fibrotest > 0.72 + APRI > 2 or Fibroscan = 14.6 kPa ; Child-Pugh score = 6
Treatment regimens
- Co-formulated ombitasvir (OBV)/ paritaprevir (PTV)/ rironavir (r): 25/150/100 mg QD = 2 tablets
- RBV: 1000 mg/day if < 75 kg, 1200 mg/day if = 75 kg (bid dosing)
Objective
- SVR12, (HCV RNA < 25 IU/ml) > 95% power to detect superiority with a 2 sided 97.5% lower confidence bound > 67% (historical SVR 12 with PEG-IFN + RBV in genotype 4)
Baseline characteristics
SRV12 rates by treatment arm, ITT, % (97.5% CI)
Sensitivity analysis: SVR 12 excluding patients with premature discontinuation of study
drug with no on-treatment failure or with missing follow-up data in SVR 12 window:
- 98% (57/58) for 12 weeks group
- 100% (60/60) for 16 weeks group
NS5A RAVs and impact on SVR12
- At baseline, NS5A RAV in 36/116 (31%) patients
- SRV12
- 100% (80/80) if no baseline RAV
- 97% (35/36) if baseline RAV
- 1 patient in Arm A (12 weeks of therapy) did not achieve SVR 12
- Genotype 4a
- IL28B CT genotype
- Fibroscan : 15.6 kPa
- Prior relapse to PEG-IFN + RBV
- At baseline: P58L NS5A RAV, no NS3 RAV
- At failure: emergence of L28M + Y93H NS5A RAVs
Reasons for not achieving SVR12
Treatment-emergent adverse events
Summary
- High SVR rates were achieved in patients with HCV genotype 4 infection and compensated cirrhosis with OBV/PTV/r + RBV administered for 12 weeks or 16 weeks: SVR 12 was 97% and 98%, respectively
- Superiority to the historical control (PEG-IFN + RBV)
- 16-week treatment seems to provide no added benefit for patients with HCV genotype 4 infection and compensated cirrhosis
- No post-treatment relapses
- OBV/PTV/r + RBV was well tolerated with no discontinuations due to adverse events
- All serious adverse events were deemed not related to study drugs
