Positive predictive value of sustained virologic response 4 weeks posttreatment for achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks posttreatment in patients receiving glecaprevir/pibrentasvir in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials.

ABSTRACT: Sustained virologic response at posttreatment Week 12 (SVR12) is the widely accepted efficacy endpoint for direct-acting antiviral agents. Those with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are presenting younger with milder liver disease, potentially reducing need for long-term liver posttreatment monitoring. This analysis aimed to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of SVR at posttreatment Week 4 (SVR4) for achieving SVR12 in patients with HCV, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis, receiving glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) in clinical trials. An integrated dataset from 20 Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials of G/P was evaluated in patients with 8-, 12- or 16-week treatment duration consistent with the current label (label-consistent group), and in all patients regardless of treatment duration consistency with the current label (overall group). Sensitivity analyses handled missing data either by backward imputation or were excluded. SVR4 PPV, negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity and specificity were calculated for achieving SVR12 in both groups, and by treatment duration in the label-consistent group. SVR was defined as HCV ribonucleic acid 99% in both groups regardless of treatment duration. Not achieving SVR4 had 100% NPV and sensitivity for all groups. SVR4 measure had 79.5% specificity for identifying patients who did not achieve SVR12. Across 20 Phase 2/3 clinical trials of G/P, SVR4 was highly predictive of SVR12. Long-term follow-up to confirm SVR may not be necessary for certain populations of patients with HCV.

Project description:Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir are hepatitis C virus (HCV) pangenotypic inhibitors targeting NS3/4A protease and NS5A, respectively. This once-daily, fixed-dose combination regimen demonstrated high sustained virologic response 12 weeks postdosing (SVR12) rates in CERTAIN-1 and CERTAIN-2 studies in Japanese HCV-infected patients, with a low virologic failure rate (1.2%). There were no virologic failures among direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-treatment-naive genotype 1a (GT1a) (n = 4)-, GT1b (n = 128)-, and GT2 (n = 97)-infected noncirrhotic patients treated for 8 weeks or among GT1b (n = 38)- or GT2 (n = 20)-infected patients with compensated cirrhosis treated for 12 weeks. Two of 33 DAA-experienced and 2 of 12 GT3-infected patients treated for 12 weeks experienced virologic failure. Pooled resistance analysis, grouped by HCV subtype, treatment duration, prior treatment experience, and cirrhosis status, was conducted. Among DAA-naive GT1b-infected patients, the baseline prevalence of NS3-D168E was 1.2%, that of NS5A-L31M was 3.6%, and that of NS5A-Y93H was 17.6%. Baseline polymorphisms in NS3 or NS5A were less prevalent in GT2, with the exception of the common L/M31 polymorphism in NS5A. Among DAA-experienced GT1b-infected patients (30/32 daclatasvir plus asunaprevir-experienced patients), the baseline prevalence of NS3-D168E/T/V was 48.4%, that of NS5A-L31F/I/M/V was 81.3%, that of the NS5A P32deletion was 6.3%, and that of NS5A-Y93H was 59.4%. Common baseline polymorphisms in NS3 and/or NS5A had no impact on treatment outcomes in GT1- and GT2-infected patients; the impact on GT3-infected patients could not be assessed due to the enrollment of patients infected with diverse subtypes and the limited number of patients. The glecaprevir-pibrentasvir combination regimen allows a simplified treatment option without the need for HCV subtyping or baseline resistance testing for DAA-naive GT1- or GT2-infected patients. (The CERTAIN-1 and CERTAIN-2 studies have been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifiers NCT02707952 and NCT02723084, respectively.).
