PHARMAC announcement 1.30pm 9 th June 2016 "Pharmac is also funding two new hep C treatments, Harvoni and Viekira Pak, which are a major advancement in treatment with cure rates of more than 90 per cent. "These new treatments will make a considerable difference to the lives of many New Zealanders and their families," he said. Pharmac chief executive Steffan Crausaz said From 1 July, specialists will be able to prescribe Viekira Pak and Viekira Pak-RBV for all eligible patients. From 1 October, once additional support has been put in place, Viekira Pak would be funded on prescriptions written by all eligible prescribers, including GPs, he said. WHAD, July 28th 2015

27 Pooled analysis: safety and tolerability Overall, adverse events were frequent, but manageable. Non-cirrhotic patients: Adverse events were generally mild (grade 1). Rates of serious adverse events were very low Fewer than 1% discontinuations overall (similar to placebo). Cirrhotic patients: Adverse events were generally mild or moderate. Serious adverse events occurred in 5.5% of patients overall. Treatment discontinuation due to adverse events was low (2.1%). Hepatic decompensation was rare (1.1%), and unrelated to study drug. 1 Feld JJ, et al. N Engl J Med 2014; 370: Zeuzem S, et al. N Engl J Med 2014; 370(17): Andreone P, et al.

28 Summary: Lab results with VIEKIRA PAK No patient in the pivotal trials discontinued study drug due to laboratory abnormalities. ALT About 1% of patients experienced ALT elevations >5xULN.* ALT elevations were generally asymptomatic and transient (during first 4 weeks of treatment). Cirrhosis was not a risk factor for elevated ALT *The main risk factor was concurrent use of systemic oestrogen; co-administration is now contraindicated.) Bilirubin 2% of the patients given VIEKIRA PAK and 15% of patients given VIEKIRA PAK-RBV experienced bilirubin elevations (>2xULN). Bilirubin elevations were transient (peaked by first week), predominately indirect bilirubin, and not linked to ALT elevations. 1 Feld JJ, et al. N Engl J Med 2014; 370: Zeuzem S, et al.

29 Ribavirin 1. Ribavirin (RBV) causes a dose-related haemolysis 2. RBV dose is 600mg bid if >75kg and 400/600 if <75kg reduce to 600mg/day if Hb <100g/L discontinue if haemoglobin is <85g/L. Caution if renal dysfn or severe vascular disease 3. In the clinical trials of VIEKIRA PAK: Clinically significant anaemia in 5% of patients RBV dose reduction in only 8.5% of patients 98.5% of patients with dose reduction were cured *Haemoglobin should be monitored carefully in patients with pre-existing cardiac disease, and RBV permanently reduced to 600mg/day if Hb decreases >20g/L during any 4-week period, and discontinued if it remains <120g/L despite reduction.
