  1. New Anti-HCV DrugsOther Drugs? Yves Benhamou Hôpital Pitié Salpêtrière Paris

  2. Challenges for New Anti-HCV Therapies • Improve SVR • Role of direct antivirals (enzyme inhibitors) • Potency – Safety – Resistance profile • Improve acceptability and tolerability of current SOC • Better tolerated and more convenient IFNs • Better tolerated RBV analogues • Reduction of treatment duration (STAT-C) • IFN/RBV sparing regimens ? • Role of combinations with STAT-C ?

  13. ALBINTERFERON

  14. Molecular Model ofAlbinterferon Alfa-2b (alb-IFN) Genetic Fusion HA gene IFNa gene Molecular weight: 85.7 kDa IFNa-2b HA A single polypeptide molecule that combines the therapeutic activity of interferon-α (IFNα) with the long half-life of human albumin (HA) Zeuzem S. et al. Hepatology 2008

  16. Exposure comparison AlbInterferon vs PegIFN a-2aandPegIFN a-2b Cmax of albumin-IFNα 5 fold greater compared to PegIFN α-2a and 86 fold greater compared to PegIFN α-2b Exposure (AUC) 3.5 to 7 fold greater for albumin-IFNα Source: Albumin-IFNα data is from Bain, V.G. et. al. A phase 2 study to evaluate the antiviral activity, safety and pharmacokinetics of recombinant human albumin-interferon alfa fusions protein in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis c patients.

  26. Potent Scenario for anti-HCV Therapy 2012 2017 2020 2022? IFN - RBV Cyclophilin inhibitor ? STAT-C STAT-C Entry inhibitor ? STAT-C Combinations Therapeutic vaccine ? Cytokines ? other immunomodulators IFN Sparing Regimens

  27. Conclusion • New anti-HCV drugs: • STAT-C • IFN and RBV (may be for ever) • Short term : AlbInterferon (Taribavirin?) • Role of drugs (vaccine) with different MOA ? (more difficult to treat patients – multiple Rx failure …) • Highly Active Anti HCV Therapy (« HAACT ») combining drugs with different MOA: Futur SOC?
