Design


* Liver biopsy or Fibroscan ≤ 12.5 kPa or Fibrosure® ≤ 0.48 + APRI ≤ 1

  • MK3 : Uprifosbuvir 225 mg/GZR 50 mg/RZR 30 mg FDC (MK3) = 2 tablets QD
  • RBV dose based on body weight (< 65 kg = 800 mg/d ; 65-85 kg = 1000 mg/d ;> 85-105 kg = 1200 mg/d ; > 105 kg = 1400 mg/d )

Objective

  • Primary endpoint: SVR12 (HCV RNA < 15 IU/mL), full analysis set ≥ 1 dose of study drug

Baseline characteristics (N = 24)

SVR12, full analysis set, %

Adverse events (N = 24)


* 2 subjects had 3 SAEs:
   -1 genotype 2-infected patient withdrew after a single dose with SAEs of vomiting and tachycardia considered related to MK3 + RBV
   -1 genotype 3-infected patient was hospitalized for severe anxiety, unrelated to MK3 + RBV
** 1 genotype 2-infected patient withdrew after a single dose with SAEs as above ;
     1 genotype 2-infected patient discontinued RBV 4 days before the completion of 16 weeks of therapy due to rash considered RBV-related, but completed 16 weeks of MK3

Summary

  • MK3 (uprifosbuvir / grazoprevir / ruzasvir) plus RBV for 16 weeks was highly effective in genotype 1, 2, and 3-infected patients without cirrhosis who had previously failed 8 weeks of treatment with a regimen of uprifosbuvir + EBR or RZR + GZR
  • 100% SVR12 in 23 patients who completed treatment
  • High efficacy despite a high prevalence of baseline NS3 and NS5A RAVs in this DAA failure population
  • Treatment was generally safe and well-tolerated
