Conclusion • Treatment with SMV + SOF ± RBV results in: – High SVR 12 rates in HCV GT 1 null responder patients – High SVR 4 rates in naïve and null-responder patients with METAVIR F 3 -F 4 • Addition of RBV to SMV + SOF may not be needed to achieve high rates of SVR in this patient population • 12 weeks of treatment may confer similar SVR rates compared with 24 weeks of treatment • SMV + SOF ± RBV was generally well tolerated Jacobson IM, et al.

Conclusions • In treatment-experienced patients with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis, either RBV or GS-9669 may enhance the efficacy of SOF/LDV given for 12 weeks • The optimal duration of SOF/LDV in treatment-naïve GT 1 patients, even with the addition of RBV, is more than 6 weeks • Regimens of SOF/LDV alone, or with RBV or GS- 9669, were safe and well tolerated Gane EJ, et al.

Background • Reinfection of the transplanted liver is universal in patients who are serum HCV RNA-positive at the time of transplantation • Recurrence of HCV is the most common cause of mortality and graft loss following transplantation – 10– 50% of patients with recurrent infection progress to cirrhosis within 5 years 1 • Once cirrhosis is established, the probability of liver graft failure is 42% within 12 months 2 • Current therapies for HCV treatment used after transplantation have poor tolerance, poor efficacy, severe adverse reactions, and significant interactions with immunosuppression medications 1.

Background and Aims: • Recurrent HCV infection of the allograft is universal in patients with detectable HCV RNA at the time of liver transplantation (LT) and may result in accelerated progression to cirrhosis and graft loss. • Interferon-based antiviral treatment before LT can prevent HCV recurrence, but this treatment is poorly tolerated and effective in only a minority of patients. Curry MP, et al. Abstract #213, AASLD 2013 52
Methods: • In this phase 2 open-label study, patients with chronic HCV infection of any genotype (GT) listed for LT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) received up to 48 weeks of SOF 400 mg/day and RBV 1000 -1200 mg/day before LT. • All patients had HCC within Milan criteria and well compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh-Turcotte score of ≤ 7). • The primary endpoint was virologic response (HCV RNA <25 IU/m. L) 12 weeks after LT in patients who had HCV RNA <25 IU/m. L at their last measurement prior to LT (SVR 12). • Post-LT immunosuppressive regimen was tacrolimus plus prednisone with or without mycophenolate mofetil. Curry MP, et al. Abstract #213, AASLD 2013 53
Results: • 36 patients included in efficacy analysis • Received a mean of 17. 1 (range 3. 3 to 33. 7) weeks of treatment prior to LT • At the time of writing, 26 patients have reached at least 12 weeks post- transplant, of whom 18 (69%, 90% CI 51% to 84%) achieved SVR 12. • The most frequently reported adverse events were fatigue, anemia, and rash. • Two patients discontinued treatment due to AEs of acute renal failure and pneumonitis, neither was attributed to study drug. • One SAE, anemia, was considered related to study drug.
