1 Barriers to Management of HCV: Treating People Who Use Drugs Alain Litwin, MD, MPH Albert Einstein College of Medicine Montefiore Medical Center May 9, 2015
2 Disclosures Gilead Pharmaceuticals Janssen Pharmaceuticals Merck Pharmaceuticals
3 Outline Background: HCV and persons who use drugs (PWUD) Barriers to scaling up HCV treatment Models of care in drug treatment Peer program Multidisciplinary onsite care Directly observed treatment (DOT) Group treatment
4 Persons Who Inject Drugs (PWID) are at the core of the HCV epidemic People living with HCV infection 1) Hajarizadeh B, et al. Nature Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol ) Grebely J and Dore GJ Antiviral Research In Press.
5 PWID are at the core of the HCV epidemic 80% OF NEW INFECTIONS OCCUR AMONG CURRENT PWID IN MANY COUNTRIES People living with HCV infection 1) Hajarizadeh B, et al. Nature Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol ) Grebely J and Dore GJ Antiviral Research In Press.
6 PWID are at the core of the HCV epidemic 60% OF EXISTING INFECTIONS ARE AMONG CURRENT & FORMER PWID IN MANY COUNTRIES People living with HCV infection 1) Hajarizadeh B, et al. Nature Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol ) Grebely J and Dore GJ Antiviral Research In Press.
7 10 million IDUs worldwide anti-hcv positive Nelson et al., 2011
8 Significance HCV in PWIDs (US) PWIDs are largest group of HCV-infected persons in industrialized countries; ~ 60% in US 1 > 75% of new infections in IDUs Up to 90% of IDUs in methadone clinics have HCV HCV prevalence in noninjecting PWUDs: 2.3%-17% 2 1,100 opiate treatment programs (OTPs) and 290,000 patients in the United States. > 1,000,000 patients have been prescribed buprenorphine in the United States. HCV treatment rates among PWIDs remain low: 1% - 6% 3 1. Shepard et al, Sheinmann et al., Mehta et al., 2007; Grebely et al., 2009
9 Patient Provider Structural There are multi-layered barriers (Mehta) Government / Healthcare system issues Limited accessibility of HCV care locations Limited reimbursement for HCV care Insufficient funds allocated for HCV Overburdened health systems Cost / insurance Segregated service delivery Primary-care provider barriers Knowledge (misconceptions about whom to screen, progression risk, and treatment) Perceptions (may only refer good candidates whom they perceive to need treatment) Workforce issues Inconsistent screening/treatment guidelines Insufficient number of providers who can treat HCV Insufficient resources for case managers, navigators, social workers Specialist barriers Knowledge (some providers may have limited HCV treatment experience) Perceptions (concerns about nonadherence, drug use, relapse, risk of reinfection) General barriers General health care access (primary-care provider, insurance, health literacy, patient-provider relationship) Competing health priorities (mental health, comorbidities) Stability factors (substance use, employment, income, housing, drug treatment, social support HCV-specific barriers Poor knowledge Lack of symptoms Fears about treatment HCV stigma Chronic HCV infection HCV diagnosis Linkage to care Treatment initiation Viral clearance
10 Patient Provider Structural Strategies to overcome barriers (Mehta) Healthcare System Noninvasive disease staging Integrated services HIV & HCV 1 HCV & primary care 2 HCV and opiate substitution 3 Workforce challenges Standard testing & referral guidelines Multidisciplinary team care 4 Telemedicine 5 Primary care & specialist Education at all levels (specialists, ID physicians, HIV providers, primary care) Sensitization to substance use and related comorbidities General barriers Brief interventions (eg, for alcohol use) Incentives Directly observed therapy 6 Peer Navigation 7 Case-management 8 HCV-specific barriers Education & counseling Chronic HCV infection HCV diagnosis Linkage to care Treatment initiation Viral clearance PREVENT 1 Cachay 2013; 2 Evon 2011; 3 Belfori 2007, Krook 2007, Harris 2010, Litwn 2005, Martinez 2012, Mauss 2004, Schaefer , Sylvestre , Treloar 2010; 4 Evon 2011, Sylvestre 2007, Knott 2006, Moussalli 2010; 5 Arora 2010, Hill CROI 2013; 6 Grebely 2007; Evon 2011
11 Integrating HCV care with opiate agonist treatment Albert Einstein College of Medicine / Montefiore Medical Center Network of community-sited opiate agonist treatment programs in the Bronx, NY Comprehensive onsite primary care 3,300 patients 59% Latino/a, 23% African American, 18% Caucasian 65% HCV antibody-positive 50% chronic HCV infection
12 Clinic locations New Jersey The Bronx 3 1 Key 1: Melrose Wellness Center 2: Port Morris Wellness Center 3: Waters Place Wellness Center 4 Manhattan 2
13 Roots of peer program We represent a coalition of patients, providers, family members and friends: all affected by the hepatitis C epidemic in our South Bronx Community. People in methadone maintenance must have access to hepatitis C resources. We work to ensure that current and former drug users have access to treatment for both substance abuse and hepatitis C.
14 Clinic outreach
15 Community outreach
16 Peer advocacy New York State Medicaid 2003: HCV viral load and genotype tests covered by Medicaid 2013: Prohibited mandatory mail-order pharmacies for HIV and HCV medications 2014: People who use illicit drugs can continue to be treated at provider discretion
17 Integrated onsite treatment (n = 73) Retrospective, observational chart review of onsite HCV treatment (peginterferon + ribavirin) provided to 73 drug users between Jan and Dec. 2005: 90% IDU 49% recently used illicit drugs 67% current psychiatric illness 32% HIV-infected 45% SVR Genotype 1: 40% SVR No association between illicit drug use during HCV treatment and virologic outcomes Active illicit drug use during treatment (37%) Litwin et al., JSAT 2009
18 HCV directly observed treatment (DOT) study Litwin et al., BMC ID 2011
19 Adherence increased in DOT arm (n = 40) Over 24 weeks, pill count adherence 88% DOT vs 77% TAU (P = 0.02) All administered peg, adherence 96% DOT vs 94% TAU (P = NS) Ribavirin Adherence DOT TAU Peg Adherence DOT TAU TAU = Treatment as usual
20 Treatment outcomes (n = 80) Outcomes DOT TAU <12 weeks 3 (8%) 8 (20%) ETR 28 (70%) 27 (68%) SVR 22 (55%) 20 (50%)
21 Berg, Arnsten, et al., 2011 HIV DOT decreases viral load
22 Once-daily DOT with PEG/RBV German retrospective study of 49 HCV mono-infected IDUs enrolled in an opiate agonist treatment program with integrated model (methadone or buprenorphine) No recent illicit drug use 57% genotypes 2, 3; 43% genotypes 1, 4 Median age 30 years Median BMI 24 Median HCV viral load: 121,775 IU/ml HIV-negative Patients seen once daily: DOT with PEG-IFN alfa-2a once weekly and daily fixed dose ribavirin mg All received citalopram (2 weeks prior to HCV treatment) 98% (48 out of 49) achieved SVR Waizmann et al., 2010
23 HIV DOT: association between frequent drug use, treatment arm, and adherence Nahvi et al, DAD 2011
24 Why group treatment? Historic role of HCV support group at Einstein Support groups familiar in addiction treatment Synergy with participation of medical provider Address patient and provider barriers to treatment Builds on other models of group-based treatment Stein, Soloway et al., JSAT Sylvestre et al; Grebely, Conway et al; McQuaid; Litwin et al.
25 Group treatment in action
26 HCV group treatment model Health Educator / Peer Sets up room: coffee, snacks Side effect and depression surveys Weights taken Group discussion cofacilitated by health educator and peer Provider Conducts semiprivate individual visits Vitals and focused physical Addresses adverse effects and adherence Administers peg interferon injections and growth factors as needed Answer group questions Conclude with patient milestones, updates, and peer-led meditation
27 Group treatment benefits For Patients Social support is built in Misconceptions addressed Reassurance by concurrent participation of peers Fear of side effects Directly administered peg Weekly oral meds dispensed Fatty food snacks provided Support for recovery Upward spiral For Providers Frequent contact: providers and peers Comanagement of cohort enhances expertise and confidence Multidisciplinary Natural mentoring opportunity Break from the usual
28 Triple therapy with DAAs
29 What about DAAs? Prior studies of onsite HCV treatment SVR = 43% (n = 86) in genotype 1 patients treated with dual therapy (peg + ribavirin) Retrospective chart review of all genotype 1 patients treated onsite with triple therapy (telaprevir or boceprevir) Initiated HCV treatment over 21 month period Between 7/27/2011 and 3/12/2013 (n=50) Litwin et al., EASL Litwin et al., Litwin et al., 2012.

44 HIV providers defer antiviral treatment in active IDUs Westergaard et al., Journal IAS 2012
45 People who use drugs are once again being categorically excluded from HCV treatment 1997 NIH Consensus Statement: Treatment of patients who are actively using illicit drugs should be delayed until these habits are discontinued for at least 6 months NIH Consensus Statement: Treatment of active injection drug use should be considered on a case-by-case basis AASLD Clinical Guidelines: Treatment of HCV infection can be considered for persons even if they currently use illicit drugs NAMD: Exclude use in patients with drug use within the past year.

47 First global recommendations for HCV among PWID Robaeys G*, Grebely J*, et al. Clinical Infectious Diseases 2013
48 Recommendations for management of HCV infection among people who inject drugs HCV treatment can be considered for PWID, provided they wish to receive treatment and are able and willing to maintain regular appointments. (A1) A history of IDU and recent drug use at treatment initiation are not associated with reduced SVR, and decisions to treat must be made on a case-by-case basis. (B1) HCV treatment for PWID should be considered on an individualized basis and delivered within a multidisciplinary team setting. (B1) Access to harm reduction programs, social work, and social support services should be a component of HCV clinical management. (B2) PWID should not be excluded from HCV treatment on the basis of perceived risk of reinfection. (B1) OST is not a contraindication for liver transplantation, and individuals on OST should not be advised to reduce or stop therapy. (A1) OST = opioid substitution treatment Robaeys et al., CID 2013.
49 Conclusions Barriers to effective HCV care for PWUD can be overcome by onsite treatment, addiction treatment, multidisciplinary teams, and intensive models of care peers, DOT, and group treatment. Barriers to HCV care are greater than ever and will limit scaling up of treatment. Advocacy is urgently needed to increase access to care and promote social justice!
