[0184] Example 1: Efficacy and Safety of a 3-Week Response-Guided Triple Direct-Acting Antiviral Therapy Against Chronic Hepatitis C Infection: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Proof-of-Concept Study

[0185] Overview:

[0186] DAA has a high cure rate and is well tolerated in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, a shorter course of treatment may improve adherence, affordability, and increase DAA accessibility. We speculated that adding an NS3 protease inhibitor to the NS5A-NS5B (nucleoside) dual inhibitor could improve antiviral efficacy in individuals with rapid virological response (RVR) and shorten the duration of treatment to 3 weeks (wks), The rapid virological response (RVR) was defined as plasma HCV RNA <500 IU / ml on the second day. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the antiviral efficacy and safety of a 3-week response-guided therapy with an NS3 protease inhibitor and a dual NS5A inhibitor-NS5B nucleotide (HCV) infection with a course of di...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to solid dosage forms comprising anti-HCV compounds and methods of using such dosage forms to treat or prevent HCV infection. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) havea high cure rate, and favorable tolerability in persons infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, shorter courses of therapy can improve adherence, affordability, and increase DAAs accessibility. The addition of an NS3 protease inhibitor to dual NS5A-NS5B (nucleoside) inhibitors enhances antiviral efficacy, and reduces treatment duration to 3 weeks (wks) in individuals with a rapid virologicresponse (RVR), defined as plasma HCV RNA<500, or < 1,000, IU / mL by Day 2 of treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to formulations comprising three or more active specific anti-HCV compounds for use in combination therapy, methods of using the formulations to treat, cure or prevent HCV infection, and methods of providing response-directed HCV therapy. Background technique [0002] Recent estimates put the number of people infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) at more than 170 million worldwide, including 3 million in the United States. The infection rate is approximately 4 to 5 times that of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While in some individuals the innate immune response is able to overcome the virus, in most cases a chronic infection is established leading to an increased risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. [0003] The virus causing HCV infection is a positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. The HCV genome encodes a polyprotein that is cleaved into ten individual proteins, ...
