  5. Lessons Learned From Phase 2 Trials With Telaprevir + PR in Naïve Patients(PROVE1, PROVE2) • Higher rates of RVR, lower rates of relapse drive higher rates of SVR in G1 • Foundation for exploration of response guided therapy in phase 3 • 12 weeks triple therapy too short to achieve optimal results in overall population • Inability to delete ribavirin from regimen • Side effect profile McHutchison J et al NEJM 2009;Hezode C et al NEJM 2009

  31. Stopping Rules for TelaprevirTreatment Naïve & Experienced Week 4 HCV RNA >1000 IU/ml Week 12 HCV RNA >1000 IU/ml Week 24 HCV RNA detectable Stop all therapy Stop all therapy Stop all therapy Telaprevir Package Insert, 2011

  32. Response-Guided Therapy:Telaprevir • Naives (and relapsers) • eRVR+ • 24 weeks (TPR12/PR12) • eRVR- • 48 weeks (TPR12/PR36) “Treatment-naïve patients with cirrhosis and eRVR may benefit from additional 36 weeks of PR” (package insert)

  33. Contraindicated Drugs With Telaprevir & Boceprevir • Interaction with CYP3A4 • May occur via inhibition OR induction • Rifampin • Alfuzosin • Ergot derivatives • Cisapride • St. John’s wort • Lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin • Sildefnafil or tadalafil for PA hypertension • Oral midazolam, triazolam Many other drugs with established or potential drug-drug interactions that require caution Telaprevir Package insert

  34. Evaluation of Treatment-Emergent Resistant Variants in TVR Phase III trials • 74% of treatment-failure pts had RV • 255 pts with RVs were followed from Phase III trials • ADVANCE/ILLUMINATE: 151 • REALIZE: 104 • Median follow-up: 11 months • Population sequencing • 60% lost RVs during follow-up • RVs were different in G1a and G1b, and cleared more rapidly in G1b • Long-term analysis of RV after PI failure provides encouragement that • re-treatment with PIs will be possible • Reconstitution rates of wt virus are more rapid for G1b than G1a. • Re-treatment studies will be needed for definitive assessment Sullivan J, et al. EASL 2011, Berlin, O8

  35. Summary: Telaprevir andTreatment-Naïve HCV Patients • Telaprevir + peginterferon + ribavirin for 12 weeks, then peginterferon + ribavirin for an additional 12 or 36 weeks • Response-guided therapy is non-inferior to 48 weeks of treatment in patients with an eRVR (undetectable at week 4 and 24) • May be possible in nearly two-thirds of treatment-naïve patients • Rash common; seldom results in overall treatment discontinuation • Anemia requires monitoring; potential RBV reductions, epo, transfusions • Sustained virologic responses • Significantly improved over standard of care for overall population and those with impaired response: black, cirrhotic patients • Ribavirin dose reduction for anemia does not appear to impact response • IL28B may “refine the discussion”, but not decisive in most
