Dual oral combination therapy with the NS5A inhibitor BMS-790052 and the NS3 PI BMS-650032 achieved 90% SVR24 in HCV G1b-infected null responders • Present study: dual therapy in 10 G1b null responders, non-cirrhotic • Treated for 24 weeks • Dose of BMS 650032 reduced from 600mg bid to 200mg bid secondary to ALT elevations • No viral breakthrough and no effect of pre Existing viral mutants • 2 SAE’s: 1 hyperbilirubineia, 1 pyrexia SVR (%) Confirmation of high SVR in G1b patients with IFN-free regimen despite history of null response to PR. Need for high resistance barrier component of IFN-free regimens may be subtype-dependent (less in G1b than G1a). Chayama K, et al. 62nd AASLD; San Francisco, CA; November 4-8, 2011. Abst. LB-4
Combination therapy • Antiviral activity in all HCV genotypes • No selection of resistance • All-oral combination regimen • Short treatment duration • QD (or BID) dosing Excellent safety and tolerability • Applicable in difficult-to-treat populations: • Transplant • Coinfection • End-stage renal disease, etc.
