AASLD/2015: Response-guided therapy leads to complete cure after three weeks of all-oral triple-direct acting antiviral regimens in non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis C genotype 1b Chinese subjects (SODAPI study) - (12/01/15)
"In this proof-of-concept study, all patients with chronic HCV without cirrhosis who achieved an ultrarapid virological response on triple direct-acting antiviral regimens by day 2 and received 3 weeks of treatment were cured…..Chinese patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b…..an ultrarapid virological response (plasma HCV RNA <500 IU/mL by day 2, measured by COBAS TaqMan HCV test, version 2.0). In this open-label, phase 2a, single centre study, Chinese patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection without cirrhosis were randomly allocated by a computer program to one of three treatment groups (sofosbuvir, ledipasvir, and asunaprevir; sofosbuvir, daclatasvir, and simeprevir; or sofosbuvir, daclatasvir, and asunaprevir) until six patients in each group (1:1:1) achieved an ultrarapid virological response (plasma HCV RNA <500 IU/mL by day 2, measured by COBAS TaqMan HCV test, version 2.0).. Patients with an ultrarapid virological response received 3 weeks of therapy. Patients who did not achieve an ultrarapid response were switched to sofosbuvir and ledipasvir for either 8 weeks or 12 weeks.
A weakness of our study is the small number of patients, and the results should be validated in larger studies…...Application of this response-guided treatment approach to patients with different ethnic backgrounds, with different genotypes, and with cirrhosis should be addressed by larger clinical studies.
In this exploratory cohort of Chinese patients with chronic genotype 1b HCV who had no cirrhosis and had a uRVR to triple direct-acting antiviral regimens, we show that these regimens are well tolerated and a 100% cure rate is achievable. This study reports the shortest treatment duration of pan-oral direct-acting antivirals used for patients with chronic HCV infection. The incidence of adverse events was low compared with other reported studies on pan-oral direct-acting antiviral agents,3, 4, 5, 6 which might be related to the shorter duration of therapy. The patients are still being followed up and no relapse or adverse events have been recorded as of March, 2016.
A substantial proportion of the enrolled individuals (18 [69%] of 26) achieved a very rapid and profound drop in plasma HCV RNA. We found that this rapid viral decline could be affected by the presence of baseline NS5A resistance-associated variants (appendix p 13). The reasons for the naturally occurring resistance-associated variants are still unknown. However, in our study, baseline resistance-associated variants did not affect SVR12 in patients, irrespective of whether they had a uRVR. Even for patients who did not have a uRVR, baseline resistance-associated variants did not affect SVR12 in patients treated for longer than 3 weeks (8 weeks or 12 weeks).
Our findings are not consistent with the concept that cure corresponds to an end of treatment viral load below a cure boundary of less than one viral particle in the extracellular body fluid (ie, 15 L), which corresponds to a concentration of about 10−4·22 IU/mL.13, 14, 31 The multiscale model predicted that none of the 18 treated patients would reach the cure boundary (appendix p 9). This finding prompts a reconsideration of whether reducing the amount of virus to less than one virion is really necessary to achieve a cure.”
