PILLAR Week 24 Analysis: Efficacy Summary • TMC435 administered once-dailywith PegIFN/RBV over 12 or 24 weeks demonstrated potent antiviral activity • At Weeks 4 and 12, HCV RNA was <25 IU/mL (undetectable) for the majority of patients in TMC435 groups • The majority of patients in TMC435 groups met the criteria to stop treatment at Week 24 • In patients who completed therapy at or before Week 24, response rates remained high 12 weeks after planned end of therapy • Addition of TMC435 to PegIFN/RBV increased response rates in all IL28B genotypes
PILLAR Week 24 Analysis: Safety Summary • No clinically relevant difference in safety and tolerability between TMC435 and placebo groups • Frequency of rash, gastrointestinal events, and anemia were similar to placebo group • Mild and reversible increases in bilirubin concentration observed with 150 mg dose • ALT concentration decreased in all treatment groups • Discontinuation in TMC435 groups was low and similar to placebo group • Planning of Phase III studies of TMC435 is underway
