  12. Efficacy Limitations • Dependent on response to pegIFN/RBV • Limited efficacy in poor IFN responders • Cirrhosis, IL28B non-CC, black patients • Prior nonresponders, particularly nulls • Treatment failure—high rate of resistance • May affect future treatment options

  13. Challenges of Current PI-Based Therapy • Efficacy • Very dependent on the IFN response • Tolerability • Additional AEs beyond pegIFN/RBV • Regimens • Complicated (lead-in, RGT)/pill burden • DDIs • Many with both agents to common drugs • Genotype/special populations • Limited activity in non-GT1, limited data HIV/OLTx, ESRD

  14. Adverse Effects

  15. Preliminary Real-World Safety Findings: CUPIC—PIs in Patients With Cirrhosis *Causes of death in patients treated with TVR: septicemia, septic shock, pneumopathy, esophageal varices bleeding, endocarditis; causes of death in patients treated with BOC: pneumopathy.

  17. Tolerability • Multiple AEs • Some severe, but mostly manageable • Creates issues with capacity and experience • “Discouraging” to some low volume treaters

  18. Challenges of Current PI-Based Therapy • Efficacy • Very dependent on the IFN response • Tolerability • Additional AEs beyond pegIFN/RBV • Regimens • Complicated (lead-in, RGT)/pill burden • DDIs • Many with both agents to common drugs • Genotype/special populations • Limited activity in non-GT1, limited data HIV/OLTx, ESRD

  19. Regimens—Many Challenges For us—lead-in, response-guided therapy . . . For our patients . . . Pill Burden Food Requirement BOC = 12/day RBV = 4-7/day TVR = 6/day RBV = 4-7/day

  20. Challenges of Current PI-Based Therapy • Efficacy • Very dependent on the IFN response • Tolerability • Additional AEs beyond pegIFN/RBV • Regimens • Complicated (lead-in, RGT)/pill burden • DDIs • Many with both agents to common drugs • Genotype/special populations • Limited activity in non-GT1, limited data HIV/OLTx, ESRD

  21. Drug–Drug Interactions Substrates and Inhibitors of CYP3A4 Interactions with many common drugs • Statins • OCP • SSRI • Sildenafil • Many more PI Metabolites CYP3A4 www.hep-druginteractions.org

  22. Challenges of Current PI-Based Therapy • Efficacy • Very dependent on the IFN response • Tolerability • Additional AEs beyond pegIFN/RBV • Regimens • Complicated (lead-in, RGT)/pill burden • DDIs • Many with both agents to common drugs • Genotype/special populations • Limited activity in non-GT1, limited data HIV/OLTx, ESRD

  36. Advantages of Future Therapies • Once-daily dosing • Shorter duration • Simpler regimens—no RGT • Fewer AEs • IFN free • High efficacy

  37. Caveats to Future Therapies • Very small studies • Potential for toxicity remains • Agents from multiple classes (nucs, nonnucs, PI, alisporivir) pulled for toxicity • Efficacy and safety in cirrhosis largely unknown • Minimal data—DDIs, special populations (OLTx, HIV, ESRD) • Timelines uncertain • Not just approval, but availability and reimbursement • Costs uncertain, but likely an issue in many regions
