Manns Markus Cornberg Medizinische Hochschule Hannover Dept. of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endocrinology Germany VHPB Meeting, Ferney Voltaire, France May 13 - 14, 2002

Therapy of chronic hepatitis C PEG-IFN & Ribavirin 48 weeks Future therapies ? 80% 60% PEG-IFN & Ribavirin 48 weeks IFN & Ribavirin 48 weeks 40% Sustained response (%) PEG-IFN 48 weeks 20% IFN 48 weeks IFN 24 weeks 0% 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2002

The PEG Molecule IFN- conjugated to a 40kD (PEG-2a) or 12kD (PEG-2b) polyethylenglycol polymer

Sustained Response PEG-IFN alfa-2b/RBV Sustained Response Manns et al., Lancet 2001 n = 505 n = 514 n = 511 1/1.2 g RBV 0.8 g RBV Sustained Response PEG-IFN alfa-2a/RBV Fried et al., DDW 2001 n = 444 n = 224 n = 453

Sustained Response PEG-IFN alfa-2b/RBV Sustained Response Genotype 1 + 9% Manns et al., Lancet 2001 Sustained Response PEG-IFN alfa-2a/RBV Genotype 1 + 9% Fried et al., DDW 2001

Optimizing Response Rates Body weight adjusted dosing Treatment duration 80/80/80 New adjuncts (amantadine)

Sustained Virologic Response Optimal ribavirin Dosing (retrospective) Optimal ribavirin >10.6 mg/kg IFN alfa-2b 3MU Peg IFN alfa-2b 1.5 Overall 47% 61% Genotype 1 34% 48% Highlight the genotype 2/3 for the 1.5 Genotype 2/3 80% 88% Manns et al., Lancet 2001 19

Conclusion Optimum ribavirin Dosing with PEG-IFN alfa2b 1.5 µg/kg Patient Weight ribavirin Dose <65 kg 800 mg/day 65-85 kg 1000 mg/day >85 kg 1200 mg/day Note additions Prospective analyses are needed 18

Optimizing Response Rates Body weight adjusted dosing Treatment duration 80/80/80 New adjuncts (amantadine)

EASL Consensus 1999 HCV- Genotype 1/4 HCV- Genotype 2/3 24 weeks HCV-RNA < 0.8 x 106 IE/ml HCV-RNA > 0.8 x 106 IE/ml 24 weeks 48 weeks

PEG-IFN alfa-2a and Ribavirin (n=1284) Hadziyannis et al., EASL 2002 180 µg PEG-IFN alfa-2a + 800 mg RBV N=207 24 weeks 180 µg PEG-IFN alfa-2a + 1000/1200 mg RBV N=280 24 weeks 180 µg PEG-IFN alfa-2a + 800 mg RBV N=361 48 weeks 180 µg PEG-IFN alfa-2a + 1000/1200 mg RBV N=436 48 weeks

PEG-IFN alfa-2a and Ribavirin SVR Results HCV-Genotype 1 Hadziyannis et al., EASL 2002 48 weeks 24 weeks PEG +0,8RBV PEG +1/1,2RBV PEG +0,8RBV PEG +1/1,2RBV

PEG-IFN alfa-2a and Ribavirin SVR Results HCV-Genotype 1 and low viral load Hadziyannis et al., EASL 2002 48 weeks 24 weeks PEG +0,8RBV PEG +1/1,2RBV PEG +0,8RBV PEG +1/1,2RBV

PEG-IFN alfa-2a and Ribavirin SVR Results HCV-Genotype NON-1 Hadziyannis et al., EASL 2002 24 weeks 48 weeks PEG +0,8RBV PEG +1/1,2RBV PEG +0,8RBV PEG +1/1,2RBV

Conclusion (Ribavirin dosing / Treatment duration) Patients with HCV-Genotype-1: 48 weeks therapy with optimal (high) ribavirin dosing independent of viral load Patients with HCV-Genotype-2/3: 24 weeks therapy high ribavirin dosing seems not to be necessary

What is the impact of adherence to therapy on SVR?

Patient Categories 80/80/80 Group < 80 ± < 80 + > 80 Group > 80% interferon > 80% ribavirin > 80% expected duration therapy < 80 ± < 80 + > 80 Group < 80% interferon and/or < 80% ribavirin and/or Early discontinuations excluded

All Patients - PEG IFN 1.5 µg/kg + ribavirin 54% 63% 52% N=511 N=305 N=118 Manns et al., Lancet 2001 McHutchison et al, EASL 2001 Sustained virologic response (%)

Conclusions 80/80/80 Patients who can be maintained on > 80% of PEG interferon and ribavirin for the proposed duration of therapy may have an enhanced sustained response rate Every effort should be made to continue the maximum tolerable doses of therapy for the duration of treatment

Liver transplantation Problems of the combination therapy Ribavirin leads to anemia and accumulation of iron Significant side effects of IFN/RBV Reported sustained response rates differ between different centers No data on long-term benefit are available  multicenter trials
