Gilead at AASLD: Sofosbuvir for GT 3, 2 and 1
 
 
  from Jules: below are links to the LONESTAR2 & VALENCE studies presented at AASLD Nov 1-5 2013 in Wash DC which reported results in GT2 & 3 patients with IFN-free Sofosbuvir+Rbv or Sofosbuvir+Peg/Rbv, and in LONESTAR2 83% of treatment-experienced patients with GT3 achieved SVR after 12 weeks therapy, both cirrhotics & non-cirrhotics. For the harder to treat cirrhotic treatment experienced in the VALENCE Study who recd Sofosbuvir+Rbv for 24 weeks the SVR was 60% but treatment-naives & non cirrhotic treatment experienced did much better with 87-94 SVR rates. In large phase 3 studies now is Sofosbuvir+Ledipasvir (nucleotide+NS5A inhibitor) which in LONESTAR, link below, achieved high SVR rates in GT1 with 12 weeks therapy. Abbvie is in large phase 3 now too. Both Gilead & Abbvie are expected to submit their applications to the FDA for approval in the first half of 2014, no later than June 2014. In the meantime, phase 2 study of IFN-free Sofosbuvir+Simeprevir results from the COSMOS are linked to below with high SVR rates, and phase 2 study of Daclatasvir+Sofosbuvir achieved 100% SVR rates in prior HCV protease failures & in treatment-naives. In phase 2 are other IFN-free regimens with similarly high SVR rates in GT1 by Boehringer Ingelheim/Presidio, Merck, & BMS who reported their data at this AASLD. Vertex has a nucleotide, same class of drug as Sofosbuvir in phase 2 being studied in IFN-free combinations with various other HCV drugs (DAAs) and Achillion presented at AASLD a poster of their nucleotide in preclinical, and Idenix announced they are entering clinical trial with their new nucleotide.

The LONESTAR-2 study aimed to:

AASLD: Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin for 12 or 24 Weeks for Patients With HCV Genotype 2 or 3: the VALENCE Trial - (11/04/13)
 
VALENCE (NCT01682720) is a Phase 3 study conducted in Europe assessing safety and efficacy of SOF+RBV administered for:
- 12 weeks in patients with HCV GT 2
- 24 weeks in patients with HCV GT 3
 
Treatment-naïve or -experienced patients with HCV GT 2 or 3 were originally randomized 4:1 to receive SOF+RBV for 12 weeks or matching placebo

Due to emerging data suggesting GT 3 patients would benefit from >12 weeks of treatment, the study was subsequently amended
- Treatment was extended to 24 weeks for GT 3 patients, irrespective of treatment history

CONCLUSIONS:
- SOF + RBV for 24 weeks demonstrated SVR rates >90% in treatment-naïve HCV GT 3 patients
- In treatment-experienced HCV GT 3 patients, SVR rates were 60% and 87% in those with and without cirrhosis, respectively
- GT 2 patients had high SVR rates following treatment with SOF+RBV for 12 weeks
- No resistance detected in any patient with relapse SOF+RBV for 12 or 24 weeks was well tolerated
- Safety profile consistent with that of RBV
- No additional adverse events when treatment was extended to 24 weeks
