Observed HCC Incidence Lower Than Predicted in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Receiving Tenofovir in Phase III Clinical Trials

Prolonged Tenofovir-Based Antiviral Therapy Maintains HBV DNA Suppression in Patients With Chronic HBV, Normal ALT Levels, and High HBV DNA Levels
HBV DNA suppression was increased with tenofovir plus emtricitabine vs tenofovir alone, but safety profiles of both regimens were favorable through 192 weeks of study.

Ledipasvir, GS-9451, and Peginterferon/Ribavirin Achieves 70% SVR12 With Good Tolerability in Treatment-Experienced Patients With Genotype 1 HCV Infection
In this single-arm study, 71% of patients were eligible to received truncated 24-week therapy; safety profile was consistent with that of peginterferon/ribavirin alone.

FISSION: Sofosbuvir/Ribavirin Noninferior to Peginterferon/Ribavirin for SVR12 in Treatment-Naive Patients With HCV Genotype 2/3
Efficacy was similar between the 2 treatment arms, but sofosbuvir/ribavirin demonstrated superior safety and tolerability with shorter therapy compared with peginterferon/ribavirin.

NEUTRINO: Sofosbuvir Plus Peginterferon/Ribavirin Achieves High SVR12 Rate, Well Tolerated in Treatment-Naive Patients With Genotype 1, 4, 5, or 6 HCV
The triple-therapy regimen yielded 90% SVR12 in the overall population, and all patient subgroups attained at least 80% SVR12 rate, including patients with cirrhosis and those with IL28B non-CC genotype.

FUSION: Sofosbuvir/Ribavirin Superior to Historical Controls for SVR12 in Treatment-Experienced Patients With Genotype 2/3 HCV
Significantly better rates of SVR12 with both 12 and 16 weeks of therapy compared with historical controls, with better outcomes with 16 weeks of therapy among patients with genotype 3 HCV
Date Posted: 4/28/2013
 
STARTVerso1: Faldaprevir Plus Peginterferon/Ribavirin Highly Effective, Well Tolerated in Treatment-Naive Patients Infected With Genotype 1 HCV
Most patients receiving faldaprevir (88%) were able to shorten therapy to 24 weeks total, without compromising sustained virologic response, which was 88% in this subgroup.

Daclatasvir Plus Sofosbuvir ± Ribavirin Achieves 95% to 100% SVR12 Rate in Patients With Previous Virologic Failure on Telaprevir or Boceprevir            
Virologic response rates to all-oral, once-daily 24-week regimen unaffected by baseline NS3 variants conferring protease inhibitor resistance

QUANTUM: Interferon-Free Sofosbuvir/Ribavirin Regimen Achieves 52% to 72% SVR12 Rate in Treatment-Naive Patients With Chronic HCV Infection
QUANTUM also identified marked elevations in ALT and/or AST associated with the guanidine nucleotide analog GS-0938, which resulted in GS-0938—containing arms being halted.
