AbbVie Receives FDA Approval of MAVYRET® (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) to Shorten Treatment Duration to Eight Weeks for Treatment-Naïve Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C and Compensated Cirrhosis Across All Genotypes
- MAVYRET® (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) is now available as the only 8-week pan-genotypic treatment option for treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C (HCV) patients, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis*
- FDA approval is supported by an overall 98 percent cure** rate across this patient population[1]

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV), a research-based global biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval of MAVYRET® ( Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) to shorten the once-daily treatment duration from 12 to 8 weeks in treatment-naïve, compensated cirrhotic, chronic hepatitis C (HCV) patients across all genotypes (GT1-6). In August 2017, MAVYRET received regulatory approval in The US as an 8-week, pan-genotypic treatment for treatment-naïve HCV patients without cirrhosis.
"While over 100,000 patients have been prescribed MAVYRET for chronic HCV in the US‡, there are still a significant number of patients that need options," said Janet Hammond, MD, Ph.D., vice president, general medicine and virology therapeutic area , AbbVie. "This approval provides more HCV patients an option to treat their disease in as little as 8 weeks."
The label expansion was based on data from the Phase 3b EXPEDITION-8 study, a single-arm, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of MAVYRET in treatment-naïve adults with GT1-6 chronic HCV and compensated cirrhosis. In the study , an overall 98 percent (n=335/343) of patients achieved a sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12).1
"With more than 2.3 million people in the United States still living with chronic HCV, access to shorter-term, 8-week treatment options can help us move closer to achieving the World Health Organization's goal of elimination HCV by 2030," said Robert S Brown, Jr., MD, Gladys and Roland Harriman professor of medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College.
In EXPEDITION-8, a single relapse out of 336 patients treated was reported and no patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events.1,2 The adverse reactions reported in greater than or equal to 5 percent of compensated cirrhotic patients (n=343) were Fatigue (8%), pruritus (7%), and headache (6%).1 Data from cohort one (GT1,2,4,5,6) was presented last year at The Liver Meeting® 2018 organized by the American Association For the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), and data from cohort two (GT3) will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
About the EXPEDITION-8 Study1,2
EXPEDITION-8 is a single-arm, open-label, Phase 3b study in treatment-naïve, GT1-6 chronic HCV patients with compensated cirrhosis (n=343) who received MAVYRET for 8 weeks.
The primary endpoints are the sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12) rates in patients across all genotypes in a per-protocol (PP) and intent-to-treat (ITT) population versus respective historical SVR12 rates based on the efficacy of MAVYRET For 12 weeks in treatment-naïve patients with compensated cirrhosis. The key secondary efficacy endpoints are the percentages of GT1- 6 patients achieving SVR12 in a PP and ITT population.
Additional information on the clinical trials for MAVYRET is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov/.
About MAVYRET® (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir)1
MAVYRET® is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults across all major genotypes (GT1-6).
MAVYRET is a pan-genotypic, once-daily, ribavirin-free treatment that combines glecaprevir (100mg), an NS3/4A protease inhibitor, and pibrentasvir (40mg), an NS5A inhibitor, dosed as three tablets taken at the same time once daily With food.
</br><br><br><br><br> GT1) not cured by prior treatment experience to either a protease inhibitor or NS5A inhibitor (but not both), and in patients with limited treatment options, such as those with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those with genotype 3 chronic HCV. MAVYRET Is a pan-genotypic treatment approved for use in patients across all stages of CKD.
Glecaprevir (GLE) was discovered during the ongoing collaboration between AbbVie and Enanta Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ENTA) for HCV protease inhibitors and regimens that include protease inhibitors. |
