Summary
· Baseline sequencing showed that C316N was the most abundant TGV-resistant variant found prior to treatment
- C316 status did not affect RVR or cEVR rates
· Y448H was the most abundant mutation associated with viral rebound in both genotype 1a and 1b patients
- Y448H was observed in single, double, and triple resistance mutation combinations in GT 1b
· Y448H was the most abundant mutation associated with relapse in both genotype 1a and 1b patients
- 63% of 1a patients and 57% of 1b patients had Y448H at relapse
- C445F occurred in 29% of GT1b patients, but was not observed in GT1a
· Long-term follow-up of patients with Y448H at on-treatment Week 12 showed that by 48 weeks after treatment discontinuation, 4/6 patients had maintained the Y448H mutation
