1 Slide 1 Interaction profile of the new DAAs David Back University of Liverpool UK David Back University of Liverpool June 8th 2012

2 Why worry about Drug Drug Interactions (DDIs) in managing HCV patients? Current interactions (limited) involving pegylated interferon/ribavirin are well documented. However the DAAs have increased potential for DDIs An Interaction can alter the exposure of either the DAA or a co-medication Concern is i) loss of antiviral efficacy or toxicity and ii) loss of efficacy or toxicity of co-medication. DDI: drug drug interaction; HCV: hepatitis C virus

5 Telaprevir and Boceprevir are metabolised by and inhibit CYP3A4 CYP 3A isozymes are the most abundant in the liver CYP 3A isozymes involved in the metabolism of majority of drugs CYP 1A2 CYP 2A6 CYP 2B6 CYP 2C8 CYP 2C9 CYP 2C8 CYP 2B6 CYP 2C9 CYP 2A6 CYP 1A2 CYP 2C19 CYP 2D6 CYP 3A CYP 2C19 CYP 2D6 CYP 3A CYP 2E1 CYP 2E1 Proportion of total CYP enzymes present in human liver CYP: cytochrome P450 All percentages are approximate. For illustrative purposes, hepatic CYP enzymes present at <5% are all represented as 3.3% Proportion of drugs that are substrates for major CYP enzymes Hacker MP, et al.

13 DAA Clinical Pharmacology Targeted drug-drug interaction studies are done in the development programme and some postlicensing. Telaprevir and Boceprevir are perpetrators and victims of DDIs and this gives rise to a degree of nervousness Many DDIs can be explained on the basis of interaction with CYP3A4 but not all. DAA: direct-acting antiviral; DDI: drug-drug interaction

29 DAA Clinical Pharmacology The HCV-HIV interactions (Healthy volunteers) are: unexpected, inconsistent and difficult to explain. Need information on pharmacokinetics in HCV patients the magnitude of interactions maybe different. Interferon may be exerting enough anti HIV activity to protect against low HIV drug concentration. Perhaps total concentrations reduced but free concentrations less affected need data! We do have safer ARV options until there is clarity.
