NS5B polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir, NS5A inhibitor velpatasvir, and the new protease inhibitor GS-9857 (voxilaprevir)
April 2016
A triple combination of Gilead Sciences' sofosbuvir, velpatasvir and GS-9857 demonstrated a high sustained response rate for treatment-experienced people with all hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes who previously were not cured with prior direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), according to two presentations yesterday at the 2016 International Liver Congress in Barcelona.

Ombitasvir-Paritaprevir-Ritonavir and Dasabuvir (Viekira Pak)
**Currently, VIEKIRA PAK is taken twice daily as three tablets in the morning and one tablet in the evening. VIEKIRA XR is a fixed-dose formulation and is given once-daily as three oral tablets
*Both must be taken with a meal because administration under fasting conditions may result in reduced virologic response and possible development of resistance.

Purpose
Purpose
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/GS-9857 (SOF/VEL/GS-9857) in adults with chronic hepatitis C infection who have failed to eradicate hepatitis C despite previous combination directly acting antiviral therapy.

Condition: Chronic Hepatitis C
Interventions: Drug: Sofosbuvir; Drug: GS-5816
Condition: Chronic Hepatitis C
Interventions: Drug: Sofosbuvir; Drug: GS-5816
Detailed Description:
Up to 140 patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotypes 1-4, who were never treated or previously treated but failed a course of therapy with any interferon and ribavirin combination regimen will be eligible to be enrolled into this pilot study to evaluate the combination of sofosbuvir and GS-5816 as a fixed dose tablet to improve response to antiviral therapy. To enrich the study population with subjects with a greater likelihood of virological relapse after stopping therapy, we plan to enroll a minimum of 60% treatment-experienced subjects and 50% with cirrhosis. These two drugs inhibit key enzymes that are necessary for viral replication. Sofosbuvir, an NS5B polymerase inhibitor is already approved for use in combination with interferon and ribavirin for the treatment of HCV genotype 1 infection. GS-5816 is an NS5A replication complex inhibitor with potent activity against most strains of hepatitis C virus. Combining these two agents into a single pill should improve patient compliance and improve tolerability because interferon and ribavirin will not be part of the regimen. After medical evaluation and liver biopsy, patients will receive combination therapy with sofosbuvir and GS-5816 one pill a day for 12 weeks. The baseline liver biopsy is necessary to assess the amount of liver damage caused by the HCV and to measure expression of genes associated with clearance of HCV. Blood samples will be collected to monitor safety and response to therapy and for research purposes. HCV RNA levels will be monitored frequently for the initial 4 weeks and then at monthly intervals for the remaining 8 weeks of antiviral therapy. All subjects will undergo a second liver biopsy, 4 weeks after starting therapy. The second biopsy is being performed for research purposes so investigators can determine specifically which liver genes are associated with failure of therapy (and response to therapy). Subjects who refuse the second liver biopsy will continue to receive SOF/GS-5816 treatment for the planned 12 week duration Patients in whom serum HCV RNA is greater than or equal to lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) after 2 consecutive HCV RNA < LLOQ or who have a confirmed > 1 log10 increase from nadir will discontinue therapy (because continuing therapy is considered futile i.e. it is unlikely to work). The major endpoints will be changes in interferon stimulated gene and protein expression in the liver and changes in HCV RNA levels in liver and serum between baseline and 4 weeks and rates of sustained virologic response at post-treatment week 12. Secondary endpoints will be safety and sustained virologic response at post-treatment week 24 weeks.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02194998
Purpose
HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are diseases that share the same risk factors and routes of transmission. For this reason, many people infected with HIV are also infected with HCV. Interferon (IFN) is a drug used to treat HCV; however, in people coinfected with HIV and HCV, IFN treatment often does not work well and can cause unwanted side effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of IFN-free HCV treatment in HIV/HCV coinfected adults who are taking antiretroviral (ARV) therapy.

Purpose
This is a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial of the combination regimen of MK-5172 (grazoprevir [GZR]) (100 mg), MK-3682 (450 mg) and MK-8408 (ruzasvir) (60 mg) for 16 weeks with ribavirin (RBV) or 24 weeks without RBV in cirrhotic (C) or non-cirrhotic (NC) hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1 or GT3-infected participants who have previously failed a direct-acting antiviral regimen (DAA). The combination regimen will be administered as two fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablets, referred to as MK-3682B, given once-daily.
The study will evaluate the efficacy of the combination regimen of MK-5172 (GZR), MK-3682 and MK-8408 (ruzasvir) with or without ribavirin as assessed by the proportion of participants achieving Sustained Virologic Response 12 weeks (SVR12) after the end of all study therapy.
