3 Learning Objectives Recognize the clinical trial data, AASLD treatment guidelines and approved product labeling for available therapies. Identify patients who are good candidates for currently available therapy versus those patients that would benefit more from future therapies. Use the knowledge gained to maximize clinical outcomes on a case-by-case basis.

32 What Does The Guidance Recommend For Treatment Naïve GT 1 Patients?

33 Guidance Document Language This section assumes that a decision to treat has been made and provides guidance regarding optimal treatment. In many instances, however, it may be advisable to delay treatment for some patients with documented early fibrosis stage (F0-F2), because waiting for future highly effective, pangenotypic, DAA combinations in IFN-free regimens may be prudent. AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

34 Recommended Regimens: GT 1 Treatment Naïve Patients Eligible To Receive IFN SOF + PEG/RBV for 12 weeks Not Eligible To Receive IFN SOF + SMV ± RBV for 12 weeks (not FDA approved) Should be considered ONLY in those patients who require immediate treatment AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

35 Alternative Regimens: GT 1 Treatment Naïve Patients Eligible To Receive IFN SMV + PEG/RBV for 12 weeks followed by PEG/RBV for an additional 12 weeks Only in GT 1b patients GT 1a patients in whom Q80K polymorphism is not detected prior to treatment AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

36 Alternative Regimens: GT 1 Treatment Naïve Patients Not Eligible To Receive IFN SOF + RBV for 24 weeks Preliminary data suggest that this regimen may be less effective than daily SOF plus SMV, particularly among patients with cirrhosis Should be considered ONLY in those patients who require immediate treatment AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

37 Regimens Not Recommended: GT 1 Treatment Naïve Patients PEG/RBV with or without telaprevir or boceprevir for 24 to 48 weeks Monotherapy with PEG, RBV or a DAA AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

38 What About Prior Nonresponders?

39 Case 2

40 Patient History (June 2014) 57 year old Caucasian female CHC diagnosed in 2003 Treated with PEG/RBV in 2004 Non SVR (null responder; <2 log decline in HCV RNA after 12 weeks of therapy) Treated with telaprevir + PEG/RBV in 2012 Non SVR (RVR with breakthrough infection after 7 weeks on therapy)

41 Disease Characteristics/Labs (June 2014) Genotype IL28B METAVIR (biopsy) BL viral load 1a CT F3 2,300,000 IU/mL Hemoglobin 12.6 g/dl Neutrophils 1,300 cells/mm 3 Platelets 150,000 cells/mm 3 ALT 96 IU/L

42 Discussion How would you manage this patient today? Do you require additional information? If so, what? What are the most important factors influencing your decision?

43 What Does The Guidance Document Recommend For GT 1 Previous Nonresponders?

44 Recommended Regimen: GT 1 Previous Nonresponder Patients Previously failed PEG/RBV SOF + SMV ± RBV for 12 weeks Previously failed PEG/RBV + Protease Inhibitor SOF + PEG/RBV for 12 weeks followed by PEG/RBV for up to an additional 12 weeks AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

45 Alternative Regimen: GT 1 Previous PEG/RBV (With or Without Protease Inhibitor) Nonresponder Patients Eligible to Receive IFN SOF + PEG/RBV for 12 weeks followed by PEG/RBV for up to an additional 12 weeks Ineligible to Receive IFN SOF + RBV for 24 weeks AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

46 Alternative Regimen: GT 1 Previous PEG/RBV (Without Protease Inhibitor) Nonresponder Patients Eligible to Receive IFN SMV + PEG/RBV for 12 weeks followed by PEG/RBV for an additional 36 weeks (48 week total duration) AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

47 Regimens Not Recommended: GT 1 Prior Nonresponder Patients PEG/RBV with or without telaprevir or boceprevir Monotherapy with PEG, RBV or a DAA AASLD, IDSA, IAS USA. Recommendations for testing, managing, and treating hepatitis C. Accessed June 13, 2014.

48 Have All Limitations of Boceprevir and Telaprevir Based Therapies Been Addressed By Recently Approved Regimens?

49 Have The Limitations of First Generation DAAs Been Addressed? Interferon and ribavirin backbone required GT 1 and GT 4: PEG/RBV still required GT 2 and GT 3: Interferon-free (SOF+RBV) Twice per day dosing (BID) for telaprevir and three times per day (TID) dosing for boceprevir SOF and SMV both once daily dosing Response guided therapy (RGT) (both) and lead-in (boceprevir) complicated SOF and SMV regimens do not require RGT or lead-in

50 Have The Limitations of First Generation DAAs Been Addressed? Treatment Duration: week treatment GT 1: SOF+PEG/RBV for 12 weeks GT 1: SMV + SOF for 12 weeks GT 1: SMV+PEG/RBV for weeks GT 2: SOF+RBV for 12 weeks GT 3: SOF+RBV for 24 weeks GT 4: SOF+PEG/RBV for 12 weeks

51 Have The Limitations of First Generation DAAs Been Addressed? Limited efficacy in difficult to cure patients (e.g., patients with cirrhosis, prior null responders, African-Americans) GT 1: SMV+PEG/RBV and SOF+PEG/RBV demonstrate improved efficacy in difficult to cure populations GT 2: SOF+RBV strong efficacy GT 3: SOF+RBV less efficacious in null responders with cirrhosis

52 Have The Limitations of First Generation DAAs Been Addressed? Hematologic (both) and rash/dermatological (telaprevir) adverse events No hematologic signal with SMV or SOF monotherapy GT 1: SMV and SOF both require PEG/RBV backbone and hematologic adverse events comparable to PEG/RBV control arm GT 2 and 3: Interferon free regimens have no hematologic signal beyond anemia associated with RBV Drug-drug interactions SMV has DDIs with many of the same drug classes as boceprevir and telaprevir SOF does not have any significant drug:drug interactions
