Background and AimsHIV-HCV (ION-4)

Liver-related complications remain a leading cause of death among HIV/HCV-coinfected patients1

Safe and effective oral treatments compatible with multiple antiretrovirals are needed for the eradication of HCV in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients

Aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LDV/SOF for the treatment of HCV in patients coinfected with HIV-1, currently on antiretroviral therapy

41Smith, CJ et al. Lancet 2014; 384:241-8.

Study DesignHIV-HCV (ION-4))

Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study (NCT02073656) HCV GT 1 or 4 patients in US, Canada, and New Zealand Broad inclusion criteria

– HCV treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced– 20% with compensated cirrhosis– Platelets ≥50,000/mm3; hemoglobin ≥10 mg/dL, CrCl ≥60 mL/min– HIV-1 positive, HIV RNA <50 copies/mL; CD4 cell count >100 cells/mm3

ION-4 – LDV/SOF in HIV/HCV

SVR12 by ARV Regimen and Race

PK and Other Exploratory AnalysesHIV-HCV (ION-4)

No difference in SVR in HCV mono-infected ION program (12 weeks) for black (89/90, 99%) versus non-black (431/448, 96%)2

LDV and SOF population PK levels– Similar across the different ARV regimens

– Similar between black and non-black patients

– Similar between patients who relapsed and those who achieved SVR

GWAS and whole genome sequencing analysis underway

Results: HCV Sequence AnalysisHIV-HCV (ION-4)

Deep sequencing of NS5A at baseline identified 59 (18%) patients with NS5A variants (RAVs)

– 55 (93%) of patients with NS5A RAVs achieved SVR12 Post-treatment NS5A RAVs were observed in 10 of the 12 patients

with virologic failure

No NS5B S282T was observed in any patient at baseline or virologic failure

ConclusionsHIV-HCV (ION-4)

In this Phase 3 study of 335 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients, 96% achieved SVR12 after 12 weeks of a once-daily, single-tablet regimen of LDV/SOF– Prior HCV treatment status or the presence or absence of cirrhosis

did not impact outcome

– In contrast to larger studies among monoinfected patients, a lower response rate was observed among coinfected black patients treated with LDV/SOF (SVR12 90%)

LDV/SOF was well tolerated, with no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events and no adverse impact on HIV disease or its treatment
