ABSTRACT BODY: Background
Peginterferon lambda-1a (Lambda) is a Type III interferon with limited extra-hepatic receptor distribution, which may result in fewer adverse events (AEs) than peginterferon alfa (Alfa). Lambda 180 µg weekly demonstrated more rapid early viral suppression than Alfa in patients with CHB and CHC. We present an integrated analysis of safety data for Lambda 180 µg weekly for 24-48 weeks in non-cirrhotics from all 3 Lambda phase 2 studies.
Methods
Available on-treatment safety data from non-cirrhotic patients who received Lambda monotherapy; Lambda plus ribavirin (RBV); or Lambda, RBV and a direct-acting antiviral (asunaprevir [ASV] or daclatasvir [DCV]) were grouped by regimen and compared with Alfa/RBV. Patients received Lambda monotherapy for CHB; all others were treated for CHC. Differences > 2-fold between groups are considered clinically significant.
Results
Analyses included 511 patients in 5 groups (table). Overall, 60% were male. Among CHB patients, mean age was 36 years, 89% were Asian, and mean baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 154 U/L. Among CHC patients, mean age across the 4 groups ranged from 46-48 years; 83% were white, 7% black/African American; and mean baseline ALT across the 4 groups ranged from 67-90 U/L. Fatigue was comparable across all groups (24%-46%); insomnia, asthenia, myalgia, arthralgia, rash, irritability, and decreased appetite were less frequent (<2-fold) with Lambda monotherapy (for CHB) compared to Lambda/RBV or Alfa/RBV (for CHC). Myalgia, arthralgia, chills, and pyrexia were less frequent with Lambda/RBV than with Alfa/RBV. Incidence of elevated ALT and elevated AST were more frequent with Lambda monotherapy and Lambda/RBV/ASV than with Alfa/RBV. Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities in hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, platelets, and neutrophils were less frequent with Lambda-containing regimens than with Alfa/RBV. In Lambda-containing regimens, grade 3-4 ALT elevations were more frequent with CHB than CHC; grade 3-4 total bilirubin elevations were more frequent with CHC than CHB. Details of hepatic safety will be presented.
Conclusions
Lambda 180 µg once weekly/RBV for CHC is associated with significantly fewer hematologic abnormalities but higher rates of hepatic abnormalities than Alfa/RBV. Lambda monotherapy for CHB is associated with lower rates of systemic AEs than Lambda/RBV for CHC. Lambda is a better tolerated interferon than Alfa with a differentiated safety profile.
