24 World Wide 40 Million 170 Million HIV HEP C

25 Prevalence of Hepatitis C (2002) 1-2% 2 5 % > 10 % Not available 3 % World Population = 170 Million

26 RATIONALE FOR PEGYLATION OF INTERFERONS: WHY DO WE DO IT? Pegylation attachment of an inactive, nontoxic polyethylene glycol moiety to the active conventional interferon molecule Result sustained absorption, higher serum concentration, slower rate clearance, longer half-life more constant therapeutic concentration

27 RATIONALE FOR PEGYLATION OF INTERFERONS: WHY DO WE DO IT? PEG-Interferon PegIFN -2b Interferon 1000 pg/ml Hours

31 Peginterferon (PEG) and Ribavirin (RBV) combination combination therapy that are known to cause various side effects in almost 80 % of patients with HCV infection.

32 Pulmonary toxicity rare : - dyspnea (23-26%) - cough (15-17%) - pharyngitis (11-12%) - nonproductive cough, rhinitis (1-10%) - <1% - asthma, pneumonia, sarcoidosis,pleuritis with effusion, BOOP, interstitial pneumonitis

33 Interferon-Ribavirin Induced Pneumonitis Onset at any stage of treatment supporting the idiosyncratic nature of side effect Dry cough, dyspnea, fever, inspiratory crackles Chest X-ray bilaterally patchy infiltrates or opacification HRCT - bilaterally patchy consolidation, ground-glass attenuation

34 Pneumonitis as a consequence of peginterferoncombination therapy for ribavirin hepatitis Dig Dis Sci cases. 12 (48%) males Mean age: 55.2 years. 14 patients - treated with conventional interferon, while 11 patients developed pneumonitis during or after treatment with peginterferon and ribavirin

35 Interferon-Ribavirin Induced Pneumonitis Dig Dis Sci 2009 The most common presenting symptoms of pneumonitis is any combination were dry cough, dyspnea, fever, and fine inspiratory crackles on examination. Chest radiographs usually show bilateral patchy infiltrate or opacification HRCT scans show bilateral patchy consolidation as well as ground-glass attenuation

36 Drug-induced interstitial pneumonitis. Onset: 2-12 weeks of therapy. In most cases, symptoms of pneumonitis are reversible after cessation of combination treatment, again in support of steroids.

37 Treatment options No consensus regarding treatment Three options 1. Stop combination treatment and wait until disease the disease resolved 2. Steroids 3. Azathioprine - in therapy-resistant or relapsing cases (adding to steroids)

38 Mortality Mortality exclusively in patients with peginterferon induced pneumonitis in comparison conventional interferon (7% versus 0%) reason in unclear Patient who died relatively young and had no relevant pulmonary or other severe diseases in their medical history Failure to recognize interferon-associated pulmonary toxicity may result in persistence of pulmonary damage
