ASTRAL2 study SOFVEL vs SOF RBV in genotype
ASTRAL-2 study: SOF/VEL vs SOF + RBV in genotype 2 § Design Randomisation* 1: 1 Open-label > 18 years Chronic HCV infection Genotype 2 Naïve or pre-treatment with IFN-based regimen Compensated cirrhosis allowed** No HBV or HIV co-infection ** Metavir F 4 or Ishak 5 -6 or Fibroscan > 12. 5 k. Pa or Fibrotest > 0. 75 and APRI > 2 W 12 N = 120 SOF/VEL 400/100 mg qd SVR 12 N = 120 SOF + RBV * Randomisation was stratified on prior treatment (naïve or experienced) and cirrhosis (yes or no) RBV (in 2 divided doses): 1000 mg if < 75 kg or 1200 mg/day if ≥ 75 kg § Objective – SVR 12 (HCV RNA < 15 UI/ml), by ITT : non-inferiority of SOF/VEL with a lower bound of 95% CI for difference of - 10%, 90% power ; if non-inferiority, test for superiority with significance level of 0. 05 ASTRAL-2 Foster GR.

ASTRAL-2 study: SOF/VEL vs SOF + RBV in genotype 2 § Summary – Treatment with SOF/VEL for 12 weeks resulted in a 99% SVR 12 rate in patients with HCV genotype 2 infection – SOF/VEL for 12 weeks was statistically superior to SOF + RBV for 12 weeks (p = 0. 02) – No patients who received SOF/VEL experienced virologic failure in a population that included patients with cirrhosis and previous treatment failure • Limitation : small number of black patients – Among patients with HCV genotype 2 who received SOF/VEL , the presence of baseline NS 5 A or NS 5 B RAVs was not associated with virologic failure – SOF/VEL was well tolerated and, compared with SOF + RBV, lacked toxicities commonly associated with RBV – SOF/VEL for 12 weeks provides a single tablet, once daily, highly effective, RBV-free treatment for patients with HCV genotype 2 infection ASTRAL-2
