Slide 1 of 8 From DL Wyles, MD, at Atlanta, GA: April 10, 2013, IAS-USA. IAS–USA David L. Wyles, MD Associate Professor of Medicine University of California San Diego Don’t Blink: The Rapid Evolution of IFN-Free Therapy for HCV From DL Wyles, MD, at Atlanta, GA: April 10, 2013, IAS-USA.
Slide 2 of 8 From DL Wyles, MD, at Atlanta, GA: April 10, 2013, IAS-USA. Why do we need IFN-free regimens? Efficacy Poorly interferon responsive – African Americans – Prior IFN failure Null responder cirrhotics Acceptance and tolerability Poor patient acceptance Providers reluctance – Resource intensive Monitoring: toxicity Support services Interferon ineligible populations Decompensated ESLD Severe psychiatric disease Medical co-morbidities 100 HCV RNA+ Patients 40 Eligible Patients 5 Cured 30% refusal 75% dropout or nonresponse 60% Ineligible 28 Treated Falck-Ytter, Y. Annals, 2002.
Slide 3 of 8 From DL Wyles, MD, at Atlanta, GA: April 10, 2013, IAS-USA. Limitation of first generation PIs Complicated dosing regimens and treatment algorithms – Food restrictions High potential for drug-drug interactions Increased side effects (over Peg/RBV) Limited efficacy in those with the greatest medical need

Slide 7 of 8 From DL Wyles, MD, at Atlanta, GA: April 10, 2013, IAS-USA. Lessons learned with IFN-free therapies HCV cure is achievable without IFN – With much shorter durations Subtype matters with less potent regimens Ribavirin matters with less potent regimens Cirrhotics and null responders can be effectively treated Tolerability and side effects are improved
Slide 8 of 8 From DL Wyles, MD, at Atlanta, GA: April 10, 2013, IAS-USA. Unknowns with IFN-free therapies Efficacy in HCV/HIV subjects – No reason to suspect efficacy will suffer – Drug-drug interaction limiting factor How restrictive will payers be? – SOF + DCV or SOF + SMV “off label” early 2014 Impact of selected HCV resistance? Decompensated cirrhosis data needed
