Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C: Genotype 4 Background and Definitions
Treatment of Chronic HCV Genotype 4Background • HCV infects ~ 5 million people in the US today • Genotype 4 accounts for about 1-2% of HCV infections in US • Genotype 4 very important in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, North Africa, and Southern Europe • Approximately 70% of patients with genotype 4 HCV have moderate to severe steatosis with or without sinusoidal fibrosis • Historic SVR rates with IFN-based therapy between GT1 and GT 2,3

Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C: Genotype 4 Issues and Controversies
Issues and Controversies • Cost of Therapy • When to Defer Therapy- Decisions on when to warehouse? • (Non) Role of IL-28b Testing • Degree of Liver Fibrosis- How to stage?
Hepatitis C Genotype 4EstimatedMedication Costs for Treatment-Naïve & Prior Relapsers
Hepatitis C Genotype 4EstimatedMedication Costs for Retreatment of Nonresponders
Factors Favoring Treat Now for GT4 • Advanced Fibrosis (F3-F4)- Platelet count < 150,000/uL- Large spleen and/or portal vein(Over 12 rule = Spleen >12 cmor PV > 12 mm)- Esophageal varices • Synthetic dysfunction, low albumin, high INR • Systemic disease- Cryoglobulinemia (+RhF) • Highly motivated patients/symptoms • Patients with Increased Mortality Risk- All cause- HCC risk
Hepatitis C: Genotype 4 Future Treatment Options
Future Regimens for GT-4 • ABT-450/r-Ombitasvir +/- Ribavirin- ABT-450/r: NS3 protease inhibitor with ritonavir boosting- Ombitasvir (formerly ABT-267): NS5A replication inhibitor • Ledipasvir + Sofosbuvir- Lepidasvir: NS5A replication inhibitor- Sofosbuvir+ NS5 NS5b polymerase inhibitor • Daclatasvir+ Sofosbuvir?- Daclatasvir: NS5A replication inhibitor- Sofosbuvir+ NS5 NS5b polymerase inhibitor

Ledipasvir-Sofosbuvir for GT-4 • *Ledipasvir-Sofosbuvir in Patients with GT 4 or 5 - Phase 2 open-label study- Treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced- All patients receive 12 weeks of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (fixed dose) • *Ledipasvir-Sofosbuvir in Patients with GT 1 or 4 & HIV Coinfection- Phase 3 open-label study- Treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced (including intolerant)- Initial treatment: 12 weeks of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (fixed dose)- Retreatment: 24 weeks of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (fixed dose) + ribavirin *Studies are ongoing and treatment data not available
Summary Points for Treatment of Chronic HCV GT-4 • HCV GT4 uncommon in US, but prevalent in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, North African, and southern Europe as well as immigrants from these regions to the US including Coptic population and horn of Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea) • For treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with GT4, the recommended regimen is SOF + PEG + RBV x 12 weeks • For treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with GT4, the alternative regimen is SOF + RBV x 24 weeks • For interferon ineligible or cost reduction: SOF + SIM (Cosmos protocol) • Several investigational agents appear promising for GT4
