Epidemiology of HCV in African Americans

• The NHANES III survey estimated that 1.8% (3.9 million) of the U.S. population had a positive HCV antibody test with a rate significantly higher in blacks compared to whites (3.2% versus 1.5%).

• 74% of the 3.9 million individuals in the US had chronic infection with the rate of viremia higher in blacks compared to whites (86% versus 68%) and the rate of clearance lower.

• African Americans were more likely to be infected with genotype 1 virus (88%) than were non-African Americans (67%).

– Although HCV RNA levels were similar, liver enzymes (ALT) were lower in African Americans

• Black men had higher rates of infection with the highest prevalence rate (9.8%) among black males ages 40 to 49 years.

– After adjusting for socioeconomic status and high-risk behaviors, race was not a risk factor for HCV infection.

• Although the prevalence of HCV is greater in African Americans, natural history data has suggested a more favorable outcome for African Americans.

– African Americans had less inflammation and fibrosis in their liver biopsies, and there was a trend toward less cirrhosis (22% versus 30%).

Critical questions

• Will we be able to use oral direct-acting agents (DAAs) without interferon?

• Will we be able to use oral DAAs without ribavirin?

• Will response rates be comparable or improved in all patients, including prior null responders and those with traditionally lower SVR (eg, African-Americans)?

• How many DAAs will be required? Will the regimen vary for different patients?

• Will DAAs be effective in special populations? (eg, cirrhotics, HIV-co-infected)

• Will overall treatment “effectiveness” improve?

Conclusions:

23

Among treatment-naïve HCV genotype 1 patients:

• There were no virologic breakthroughs on treatment

• SVR12 rates were 93-95% for naïve patients

• ABT-450/r 250/100 mg and 150/100 mg doses showed comparable response rates

Among previous P/R non-responders:

• 47% achieved SVR12

• All patients who relapsed did so by their first post-treatment visit

• Relapse after PTW12 was infrequent (1/61, 1.6% of patients)

The combination of ABT-450/r + a non-nucleoside inhibitor + RBV was associated with a low rate of discontinuation (1.6%) due to adverse events during 12 weeks of treatment

Conclusions:

• The 12-week 3 DAA + RBV regimens showed the greatest efficacy in both treatment-naïve and null responder populations

– SVR12 (ITT) in 99% of GT1treatment-naïve patients on three DAA/RBV and 93% of GT1-infected null responders receiving three DAA/RBV.

• The combination of ABT-450/r, ABT-267 and ABT-333 will be studied both with and without RBV in phase 3 trials

• An ABT-450/r/ABT-267 co-formulated tablet will be used in phase 3

• All DAA combinations studied were well tolerated through 8-12 weeks of treatment

– Fatigue, headache, insomnia, and nausea were seen most frequently

– 1% of patients discontinued due to adverse events

• Early viral decay was rapid and independent of RBV dosing.

• GS-7977 in combination with full dose RBV resulted in high efficacy rates in subjects with early fibrosis

• Low dose RBV with GS-7977 appears to be similarly efficacious in suppressing HCV replication in difficult to treat subjects

• Anemia was more common in patients receiving full dose of RBV(20% vs 4%).

• 24 weeks of the all-oral, once-daily combination of DCV plus SOF achieved high rates of SVR (more than 93%) in previously untreated patients with HCV genotype 1, 2, or 3.

• IL28B genotype, genotype 1 subtype, and the use of ribavirin did not influence response.

• 96% of patients with HCV genotype 1 achieved SVR4 following 12-weeks treatment. After 24 -week treatment 98% of patients achieved SVR24.

• The most common adverse events (>20%) were fatigue, headache, and nausea.

• Twelve weeks of the interferon- and ribavirin-free regimen of DCV + ASV + BMS-791325 was well tolerated and achieved a high rate of SVR4 in chronic HCV GT1-infected patients who were mainly GT1a and IL28B non-CC genotype.

• There was no viral breakthrough and no posttreatment relapse to date.

• Further investigation of this regimen in the treatment of HCV is warranted. Study Part 2 is ongoing.

Conclusions

• Patients with cirrhosis had lower SVR rates across all dose groups compared with those without cirrhosis.

• High on-treatment failure rate in TID 28 week arm (67% and 44% in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients, respectively).

• The most common adverse events (AEs) in patients with cirrhosis were mild rash and gastrointestinal side effects.

• Phase III will evaluate 24 weeks faldaprevir + BI 207127 (BID) + RBV in compensated cirrhosis
