Conclusion • Treatment with SMV + SOF ± RBV results in: • High SVR12 rates in HCV GT 1 null responder patients • High SVR4 rates in naïve and null-responder patients with METAVIR F3-F4 • Addition of RBV to SMV + SOF may not be needed to achieve high rates of SVR in this patient population • 12 weeks of treatment may confer similar SVR rates compared with 24 weeks of treatment • SMV + SOF ± RBV was generally well tolerated Jacobson IM, et al.

Background • 1. Berenguer M, et al. Clin Liver Dis 2007;11:355–76; 2. Berenguer M, et al. Hepatology 2002;36:202-10. • Charlton MR, et al. Abstract #LB-2, AASLD 2013 • Reinfection of the transplanted liver is universal in patients whoare serum HCV RNA-positive at the time of transplantation • Recurrence of HCV is the most common cause of mortality and graft loss following transplantation • 10–50% of patients with recurrent infection progress to cirrhosis within 5 years1 • Once cirrhosis is established, the probability of liver graft failure is 42% within 12 months2 • Current therapies for HCV treatment used after transplantation have poor tolerance, poor efficacy, severe adverse reactions, and significant interactions with immunosuppression medications
