#AIDS2016 What are the remaining challenges? Cost, cost and cost Access and implementation of HCV therapy To minimize pre-diagnostic requirements Virological failure in patient with 2K/1B Chimeras after receiving SOF + RBV Broad pangenotypic activity in particular also for genotype 3 Lack of data in genotype 5 and 6 for some DAA combinations To develop DAAs which can be used in advanced cirrhosis and have low risk for drug-drug interactions

EASL 2015 At the end of treatment 99.6% of patients were <LLOQ – One virological breakthrough reduced the result of LDV The overall SVR4 rate was 94.2% Looking at GT1 only the results of LDV and DCV were similar, with the LDV result again suffering from that breakthrough patient (S282T RAV) Redemption-1 HCV RNA <LLOQ at EOT and SVR4 GLOBAL ACCESS TO DAA THERAPY
