1 Chronic Hepatitis C Drug Class Monograph Line of Business: Medi-Cal Effective Date: July 10, 2017 (Interim Guidelines; Final Review and Approval by the P&T Subcommittee Pending) This policy has been developed through review of medical literature, consideration of medical necessity, generally accepted medical practice standards, and approved by the IEHP Pharmacy and Therapeutics Subcommittee. Drugs(s): Daklinza (daclatasvir), Epclusa (velpatasvir/sofosbuvir), Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir), Olysio (simeprevir), Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a), Ribavirin, Sovaldi (sofosbuvir), Viekira XR (dasabuvir/ombitasivir/paritaprevir/ritonavir), Zepatier (elbasvir/grazoprevir) Policy/Criteria: 1. Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) a. Must meet all of the following: i. Age 18 years of age or older; ii. Confirmed diagnosis of Hepatitis C and genotype; iii. Prescribed by IEHP Hepatitis Center of Excellence specialist; iv. Documented baseline quantitative HCV RNA test; v. Must meet treatment criteria in Section I: Identifying treatment candidates; vi. Requested drug must be used in an antiviral treatment regimen and duration recommended by the AASLD (please see Section II: HCV Treatment Regimen); 1. For genotype 1 treatment for naïve patients without cirrhosis, 8 week duration is recommended for non-black, HIV-uninfected and whose HCV RNA level is <6 million IU/mL. vii. Re-treatment request with history of failing to achieve a SVR, or relapse after achieving a SVR with a prior completed treatment regimen consisting of Sovaldi or Harvoni, will be reviewed by IEHP pharmacist in accordance to the AASLD recommendations.

3 I. Identifying Treatment Candidates A. Any of the following clinical states identify candidates for treatment: 1. Evidence of Stage 2 or greater hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis including one of the following: Liver biopsy confirming a METAVIR score F2 or greater; OR Transient elastography (Fibroscan ) score greater than or equal to 7.5 kpa; OR FibroSure score of greater than or equal to 0.48; OR APRI score greater than 0.7 OR FIB-4 greater than Evidence of extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis C virus, such as type 2 or 3 essential mixed cryoglobulinemia with end-organ manifestations (e.g. vasculitis), or kidney disease (e.g. proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome or membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis). 3. Persons with hepatocellular carcinoma with a life expectancy of greater than 12 months; 4. Pre- and post-liver transplant, or other solid organ transplant; 5. HIV-1 co-infection; 6. Hepatitis B co-infection; 7. Other coexistent liver disease (e.g. nonalcoholic steatohepatitis); 8. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (insulin resistant); 9. Porphyria cutanea tarda; 10. Debilitating fatigue impacting quality of life (e.g., secondary to extra-hepatic manifestations and/or liver disease); 11. Men who have sex with men with high-risk sexual practices; 12. Active injection drug users; 13. Persons on long-term hemodialysis; 14. Women of childbearing age who wish to get pregnant; 15. HCV-infected health care workers who perform exposure-prone procedures; B. Patient Readiness and Adherence: 1. Patients shall be evaluated for readiness to initiate treatment. 2. Patients selected for treatment shall be able and willing to strictly adhere to treatment protocols prescribed by their provider. 3. Caution shall be exercised with patients who have a history of treatment failure with prior hepatitis C treatment due to non-adherence with treatment regimen and appointments. Patients shall be educated regarding potential risks and benefits of hepatitis C virus therapy, as well as the potential for resistance and failed therapy if medication is not taken as prescribed. C. Age requirements: Treatment candidate must be 18 years of age or older. D. Populations Unlikely to Benefit from Hepatitis C Virus Treatment: According to AASLD/IDSA hepatitis C virus Guidelines, patients with limited life expectancy for whom hepatitis C virus therapy would not improve symptoms or prognosis do not require treatment. Chronic hepatitis C is associated with a wide range of comorbid conditions. Little evidence exists to support initiation of hepatitis C virus treatment in patients with limited life expectancy
4 (less than 12 months) due to non liver-related comorbid conditions. For these patients, the benefits of hepatitis C virus treatment are unlikely to be realized, and palliative care strategies should take precedence. In patients with a life expectancy less than 12 months, treatment is not recommended. II.
