How to optimize triple therapy with 1st generation of protease inhibitors in genotype-1 patients
Deuffic-Burban.S et al. Gastroenterology 2012; 143:974-85
The launch of Boceprevir (BOC)and Telaprevir(TVR) dramatically improved SVR rates in genotype-1 patients
In phase III studies ,SVR rates improved by nearly 30%, reaching 63% with BOC+PEG-IFN+RBV and 75% with TLV+PEG-IFN+RBV in treatment naïve genotype-1 patients
Benefit higher:treatment-experienced patients-SVR increased by 60% in relapsers, 45% in partial responders and 25% in null responders
The side effects profiles(of BOC and TVR) + the costs per SVR patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis => they should ideally no longer be used in patients infected with HCV genotype 1
New HCV DAAs in the firts half of 2014 in the EU: 1. Sofosbuvir, 2. Simeprevir, 3. Daclatasavir
EASL:”The panel recognises the heterogenity of per capita incomes and health insurance systems across Europe and in the other regions, and therefore the possible necessity to continue to utilise current standards of care with pegylated IFN-alfa and ribavirin, with or without the first-generation protease inhibitors telaprevir and boceprevir”

CUPIC (n=212): 2 baseline factors associated with the occurrence of death at cirrhotic patients:
1. Platelet count<100000/mmc 2. Seric albumin<35 g/dl; At these subgroup: Risk of SAE=51,4% vs 6,2% (platelet count
>100000/mmc+seric albumin>3,5 g/dl subgroup)

Treatment-naïve G1 patients (n=687) received BOC-based therapy.Overall, 500 patients developed anemia(Hb≤ 10g/dl or were expected to reach that nadir before next visit) and were randomized to have anemia managed with either EPO(40000 units/week SC), or RBV dose reduction(by 200-400 mg/day).Transfussion in patients with Hb ≤ 8,5 g/dl was allowed to prevent study discontinuation

Randomization 2:1 in patients with RVR who continued all study drugs through Week 12
Nelson DR et al. EASL 2013; Abstract 881
Buti M, et al. AASLD 2012:LB-8
Optimal patients selection is crucial to achieve high SVR rate with reasonable safety profile
Optimizing BOC treatment includes: o Optimizing treatment design according to
baseline characteristics o Following optimal stopping rules o Preventing and managing SAE
Marc Bourliere, et al.:How to optimize current therapy of HCV genotype 1 infection with Boceprevir, Paris 2014
Early futility rules and short duration therapy allow personalised, cost-effective therapy
For patients with more advanced disease drugs with fewer side effects may be preferable
For patients with mild disease-telaprevir is a highly cost effective choise
For patients with advanced disease-telaprevir is not ideal
