Design
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 < 15 IU/mL), with 2 sided 95% confidence interval, treatment-emergent adverse events
Baseline characteristics
SVR rates by treatment arm, % (95% CI)
SVR12 by baseline fibrosis stage (12 week treatment arms), % (95% CI)
Sensitivity analysis : SVR12 excluding patients with premature discontinuation of study drug with no on-treatment failure or with missing follow-up data in SVR12 window :
- 96% (94/98) for Arm A
- 97% (30/31) for Arm B
- 96% (27/28) for Arm C
Reasons for not achieving SVR12
* Includes 1 patient with compensated cirrhosis miscategorized as non-cirrhotic and assigned in Arm A
Treatment-emergence adverse events
Summary
- High SVR rates were achieved in HCV genotype 4-infected Egyptian patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis after 12 weeks of OBV/PTV/r + RBV weeks: SVR12 was 94% and 97%, respectively
- 12 weeks treatment was well tolerated with no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events
- Prolongation of therapy to 24 weeks does not provide additional benefit in patients with cirrhosis, with more serious adverse events and a higher frequency of hemoglobin decrease
