Main advantages and disadvantages of Peg-IFN & nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) in CHB
Peg-IFN NAs
Advantages Finite duration
Higher rates of anti-HBe &
anti-HBs seroconversion
with 12 mos of therapy
Absence of resistance
Potent antiviral effect
Good tolerance
Oral administration
Disadvantages Moderate antiviral effect
Inferior tolerability
Risk of adverse events
Subcutaneous injections
Long-term (indefinite?) duration
Unknown long-term safety
Risk of resistance
EASL HBV CPGs. J Hepatol 2012
HBV treatment modifies the outcome of the disease
Sustained response after pegIFN or long-term ETV/TDF monotherapy
Improvement/Stabilization of liver disease in practically all patients
Often regression of histological cirrhosis
Improvement/Disappearance of portal hypertension and liver decompensation
No need for liver transplantation due to liver failure
Reduction but not elimination of HCC risk
Improved survival

New DAAs - Conclusions
Increasing number of licensed agents for patients with HCV
-Availability and accessibility vary among countries
Shortening of treatment duration to 8 weeks is possible in some non-cirrhotic
patients, with no loss of efficacy
Treatment options available irrespective of cirrhosis status
The proportion of patients failing to respond to DAAs is small and re-
treatment options are available for most patients
-NS5A inhibitor failures remain a treatment challenge
The availability of DAAs means that HCV cure is now a reality for most
patients

Gaps and barriers in the prevention, care and treatment (1)
Patient-related barriers
Awareness how hepatitis transmitted, diagnosed, prevented and treated especially in high risk groups.
Language especially for migrants.
Cultural values and beliefs.
Social stigma.
Comorbidities (e.g. psychiatric)

Gaps and barriers in the prevention, care and treatment (2)
Health care provider-related barriers Awareness of hepatitis risk groups and low hepatitis prevented and
treated.
Specialty us primary care provider.

Gross domestic product (GDP) and overall resources for health
Membership of the EU. Countries in the EU are bound to a reference pricing system for
medicines, which imposes high drug prices on recent EU entrants relative to GDP.
Speed of reimbursement approval for new medicines
National treatment guidelines
Expanded access arrangements organized by pharmaceutical companies
Prices negotiated with pharmaceutical companies relative to volumes
Differential pricing policies of pharmaceutical companies

Factors influencing treatment access at national level
Current management of hepatitis
C – Realistic approach
Whom to treat - Treatment priorities
Optimal – Most cost-effective (new) regimens
Treatment cost! The real challenge in 2015
Highest priority for treatment owing to highest risk for severe complications
F3-F4
Organ transplant recipients
Severe extrahepatic manifestations (type 2/3 essential mixed cryoglobulinemia with end-organ manifestations, proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome, or membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis) High priority for treatment owing to high risk for complications
F2
HIV-1, HBV coinfection
NASH, Debilitating fatigue, Type 2 Diabetes (insulin resist.), Porphyria cutanea tarda
High HCV transmission risk
MSM with high-risk sexual practices
Active injection drug users
Incarcerated persons
Persons on long-term hemodialysis
