Background and Aims HIV-HCV (ION-4) Liver-related complications remain a leading cause of death among HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. 1 Safe and effective oral treatments compatible with multiple antiretrovirals are needed for the eradication of HCV in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. Aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LDV/SOF for the treatment of HCV in patients coinfected with HIV-1, currently on antiretroviral therapy. 1 Smith, CJ et al. Lancet 2014; 384:
Study Design HIV-HCV (ION-4) Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study (NCT ) HCV GT 1 or 4 patients in US, Canada, and New Zealand Broad inclusion criteria –HCV treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced –20% with compensated cirrhosis –Platelets ≥50,000/mm 3 ; hemoglobin ≥10 mg/dL, CrCl ≥60 mL/min –HIV-1 positive, HIV RNA 100 cells/mm 3 ART regimens included emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus efavirenz, raltegravir, or rilpivirine 4 Wk 0 Wk 12Wk 24 SVR12 LDV/SOF N=335
Endpoints HIV-HCV (ION-4) Primary efficacy endpoint: SVR12 –HCV RNA <LLOQ at post-treatment Week 12 HCV RNA analyzed by COBAS TaqMan HCV Test v2.0 HPS, with LLOQ of 25 IU/mL Safety –Adverse events and discontinuations –Maintenance of HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL –Serum creatinine 5

PK and Other Exploratory Analyses HIV-HCV (ION-4) No difference in SVR in HCV mono-infected ION program (12 weeks) for black (89/90, 99%) versus non-black (431/448, 96%) 2 LDV and SOF population PK levels –Similar across the different ARV regimens –Similar between black and non-black patients –Similar between patients who relapsed and those who achieved SVR GWAS and whole genome sequencing analysis underway 2 Lennox et al.

Results: HCV Sequence Analysis HIV-HCV (ION-4) Deep sequencing of NS5A at baseline identified 67 (20%) patients with NS5A variants (RAVs) –63 (94%) of patients with NS5A RAVs achieved SVR12 Post-treatment NS5A RAVs were observed in 10 of the 12 patients with virologic failure No NS5B S282T was observed in any patient at baseline or virologic failure 14

Conclusions HIV-HCV (ION-4) In this Phase 3 study of 335 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients, 96% achieved SVR12 after 12 weeks of a once-daily, single-tablet regimen of LDV/SOF –Prior HCV treatment status or the presence or absence of cirrhosis did not impact outcome –In contrast to larger studies among monoinfected patients, a lower response rate was observed among coinfected black patients treated with LDV/SOF (SVR12 90%) LDV/SOF was well tolerated, with no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events and no adverse impact on HIV disease or its treatment 18
