C-WORTHY Study: grazoprevir + elbasvir + ribavirin for genotype 1 § Summary – In this phase II study, 12 weeks of oral treatment with grazoprevir and elbasvir, with or without RBV, was well tolerated and led to high rates of SVR 12 (87– 98%) in previously untreated patients without cirrhosis with HCV genotype 1 monoinfection or HIV/HCV co-infection • • • C-WORTHY The addition of RBV was not associated with increased rates of SVR 12 Similar efficacy was seen in patients with genotype 1 a and 1 b SVR 12 was similar with 12 weeks of treatment in mono and co-infected patients 8 weeks of GZR + EBR + RBV led to suboptimal SVR 12, mainly because of relapse Patients with NS 5 A baseline resistance-associated variants had lower SVR 12 Virological relapse was associated with emergence of resistance-associated variants to one or both of the drugs (GZR, EBR) in the regimen Treatment-emergent, clinically significant, adverse events were infrequent No discontinuation for adverse event In HIV co-infected patients, adverse events were less frequently reported, and HIV suppression was maintained Sulkowski M.
