  3. Current And Future Treatment of HCV:The Count Down To The Demise of Hepatology Fuad AM Hasan Department Of Medicine Faculty of Medicine Kuwait University

  4. True or False • Hepatitis C is incurable. Treatment only suppresses the virus • Interferon and ribavirin therapy are associated with minor adverse events • HCV genotype is a major determinant of response to interferon based therapy. • Boceprevir and telaprevir are effective against all genotypes. • Sofosbuvir in combination with IFN and ribavirin cures around 90% of HCV infected patients

  5. Outline • HCV structure and life cycle • HCV genotypes • Standard treatment of HCV (2001-2011) • Standard treatment of HCV genotype 1 (2011-2013) • Current treatment of HCV genotypes 1-6 • The future

  8. HCV Genotypes

  9. The Prevalence of HCV Genotype 4 in Kuwait Hasan et al. Hepatogastroenterology2002 * Eastern province of Syria

  10. Seroprevalence of HCV in Kuwait Ameen R et al. Transfusion. 2005 ;45:1973-80. Chehada W et al. J infect Public Health 2011 ;4:200-6 *Al Khalidi J et al. Unpublished data

  11. Treatment of HCV 2001-2011 Pegylated Interferon plus Ribavirin combination was the standard treatment of HCV regardless of genotype until 2011

  12. Sustained Virologic Responses By Genotype *Hasan F, et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2004;99:1733-1737

  13. Interferon Plus Ribavirin TherapyLimitations 20-60 % do not respond Numerous side effects

  14. Factors That Influence Response to Interferon Based Therapy Treatment regimen PEG-IFN Ribavirin DAA Host factors Age, gender, race obesity, co-morbidities Genetic factors (IL28B and ITPA) Factors that affect outcome Disease features Fibrosis, steatosis, co-infection (HBV, HIV) Viral factors Genotype / Subtype Quasispecies / Resistance Viral load

  15. Most Important Factors that Influence Treatment Outcome HCV Genotype IL 28 B Polymorphism Degree of Fibrosis HCV RNA level

  16. Side Effects of PegIFN/Ribavirin Fever Myalgias Hair loss Depression Anemia Rash “Interferon Man” Many others !

  17. Was it the Interferon Man ?

  18. Contraindications of Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin • De-compensated cirrhosis • Coronary artery disease, heart failure, serious dysrythmia • Proliferative diabetic retinopathy • Kidney transplant patients • Renal impairment (ribavirin)

  19. 2011: Telaprevir and Boceprevir for HCV Genotype 1

  20. Sustained Virologic Response: Telaprevir plus Peg Interferon Plus Ribavirin PR 74–79* PR48 166/361 T12/PR 683/903 n/N = *p<0.0001 T12/PR vs PR48 (79% versus 46%) in ADVANCESVR, considered virologic cure, was defined as HCV RNA <25 IU/mL at last observation within the Week 72 visit window. In case of missing data, the last HCV RNA data point from Week 12 of follow-up onwards was used INCIVO (telaprevir) EU SmPC

  21. SVR rates with boceprevir plus PR versus PR alone * * PR48 137/363 BOC RGT 233/368 BOC44/PR48 242/366 n/N = *p<0.001 for both boceprevir arms versus PR48 SVR was defined as undetectable HCV RNA at the last available value in the period at or after follow-up Week 24. If there was no such value, the follow-up Week value was carried forward VICTRELIS (boceprevir) EU SmPC

  22. Adverse Events with Telapravir and Bocepravir

  23. Important Safety Information Contraindicated Drugs and Other Precautions for Telaprevir *These interactions have been studied; †Impaired renal/hepatic function; ‡No clinical data are available regarding the treatment of organ transplant patients with TRADENAME in combination with peg-IFN/RBV. Therefore, the use of TRADENAME in organ transplant patients is not recommended; §Normal renal/hepatic function.

  33. Is the demise of Hepatology imminent ? • HCV cure rate approaching 95% • HBV incidence declining rapidly due to vaccination • Treatment of HBV and HCV using direct acting antivirals is safe, simple and can be handled by internists. • Alcoholic liver disease and NASH can be handled by internists • Only end stage liver disease and liver transplant patients need specialty care ?
