Declaration of interest • No conflict of interest
Scaling up screening and diagnostics for HCV using the HIV programs - Access to reliable epidemiological data • Access to HCV screening & diagnostic • Who is the most at risk? - Access to HCV treatments in 2014 in LMIC?
New HCV /HIV epidemiological data. Center for Disease Analysis 2013
Access to HCV screening: a game changer • Globally, 59% of the world’s population has no access to hepatitis C diagnosis.Dx using serology is available in 53% of lower middle income countries, and 11% of low income countries( WHA report 2010). • HCV Scan (EY laboratories) sensibility: 100%, specificity: 93.7% ( WHO 2001) or HCV Spot (MP Medicals): average price 1-4 eur per test • MSF recommends OraQuick (Orasure, USA): Best and most up to date performance but 10-12x more expensive than other RDTs.( 14 euros/test) (sensibility: 99.2%, specificity: 99.8% ( Lee 2010) Can be done on whole blood (e.g finger prick) or oral fluid. ( MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014) • Limited evidence on the accuracy of HCV RDTs in HIV/HCV coinfection.( Shivkumar Ann Intern Med 2012)( Smith J Itl Dis 2011)
Primary prevention /HCV transmission • Blood to blood contact. • Transmission in developed countries: • 90% chronic HCV infection were infected through transfusion of unscreened blood ( Alter JAMA 1990) • Or sharing contaminated needles or other drug injection equipment ( Villano SA, Drug and Alcohol Dependance 2009).HCV seroprevalence among drug users ( IDU) : 60% (Nelson PK, Lancet 2011) • Less commonly HCV is transmitted by sexual contact with an infected person, including MSM, or birth to an infected mother.( Wandeler G CID 2013) • In developing countries: • the primary sources of HCV infection are unsterilized injection equipment and infusion of inadequately screened blood and blood product .
MSF UNITAID HIV-HCV grantHCV public health problem, prevalence HCV –HIV co-infection • 52.3% HCV-HIV co-infected patients in NE India (Devi KS,I nis,2005) • 67.2% in IDU in Iran ( SeyedAlinaghi S, Acta Med Iran 2011) • 10.3% in Nairobi, Kenya (Muriuki BM, BMC Research notes 2013) • 15.7% in Mozambique( Rodrigues, 2008) • 29% in North Myanmar ( MSF OCA 2014, unpublished data) • 53.3% among IDU in Ukraine ( MSF OCB, unpublished data)
Whois the most at risk?preliminaryinvestigation • India: transgender people, people using drugs (IDU) • Myanmar: Migrants, IDU • Ukraine: prisoners, complex HIV patients , MDRTB, TB patients, men who have sex with men ( MSM) • Iran: Commercial sexworkers (CSW) and partners, IDU • Mozambique &Kenya: IDU, CSW?, blood recipient, invasive medical dental surgical procedure, tattoos, health care workers, prisoners, mobile populations ( migrant workers, miners) • Need to investigate patterns of transmission at country level , collect epidemiological datas
HCV confirmation test: Detection of HCV RNA • HCV PCR is the most common method to detect viral RNA. It is also used to quantify the virus for treatment monitoring purpose. Usually: Abbott, Roche, Siemens quantitative VL. • HCV PCR is hardly accessible and costs >=100 USD per test. • We need affordable : • POC HCV Viral load : pipeline Wave 80, Alere, Cepheid, IQuum, Daktari. • Flexible PCR platforms ( Multitest: HBV-HIV-HCV) like Sacace generic open platform test, or Qiagen. ( MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014) Prohibitive Costs: Georgia: serology+ PCR RNA HCV+ genotype=USD135 Nigeria, India: package=500 USD
3. Genotyping & Fibrosis evaluation • The required length of peg-IFN-ribavirin treatment, or oral treatments, and the expected outcome from treatment, is dependent on the HCV genotype. • Tests, using a range of different technologies: • Abbott , Roche, Siemens tests • Sacace: generic open platform test (real time PCR) • Pipeline point-of-care test: Wave80 • New oral drugs will allow for simplification , if we have access to pan-genotypic treatment then genotyping may not be needed • Liver fibrosis can be assessed at field level using Transient elastography: Fibroscan, or serum biomarkers like APRI( Lin ZH. Hepatol 2011) ( WHO HCV Guidelines 2014).
Treatment should be simple, highly effective, pan-genotypic, potent, at affordable cost, easy to take ( MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014)
The best components should be studied in combination and selected for market impact (MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014)
Sovaldi : 84 000 USD for 12 weeks USA, 56 000 euros for 12 weeks in France France, 1700 dollars in Egypt.
Gilead Access program : 60 countries belong to the lowest tiered pricing category, price negotiations for sofosbuvir ‘s price start at 300 - 350 USD per bottle of 28 tablets 900 – 1000 USD for 12 weeks . ( Gilead PR, February 2014) (there is also a compassionate use program) If you need to buy peginterferon: Merck: negotiate the Egyptian price: 40 USD per vial, including ribavirin! If you need to buy ribavirin to combine to sofosbuvir: Zydus: minimal quantity 750,000 caps, price per caps: 0.30 USD.
Best price! • ribavirinezydus price: 0.30 usd per caps.1 caps= 200mg, daily dose average 1000 mg if <75 kg = 5 capsso 12 weeks tt will cost : 126 usd24 weeks tt will cost 252 usdbest price : • 12 weeks sofosbuvir + ribavirine= 1000 + 126 = 1126 usd12 weeks sofosbuvir+ ribavirine + pegifn= 1000+126+500 = 1626 usd24 weeks sofosbuvir + ribavirine= 2000 + 252 = 2252 usd
Cost per person, for 12 week course of HCV DAA * current mid-point cost of API from 3 Chinese suppliers **shows cost for 1200mg daily dose; $41 for 1000mg daily dose of ribavirin Courtesy Andrew Hill. Poster LBPE12. IAC 2014.
Interventions to overcome access barriers to HCV treatment • Access to reliable epidemiological data , investigation of the patterns of transmission. • Access to reliable and affordable diagnostics ( WHO pre-qualified, rapid diagnostic tests, multi-analytic PCR platforms , Point of Care HCV viral load). • Access to care without discrimination, including people who use drugs. • Demonstration projects: performance & feasibility at large scale, simplification, task shifting, training, including screening-prevention-harm reduction-treatment in different epidemiological contexts. • Free generic competition • Goal: diagnostic –treatment package< 500 USD per cure.
