Summary • HCV prevalence peaked in 2001 at 3. 6 million persons • Number and proportion of HCV patients with cirrhosis, decompensation, and HCC will increase for at least another 10– 15 years • Age of persons with complications will rise • Will antiviral therapy change the future? – Eradication of HCV stops progression, eliminates the risk of liver failure, and reduces HCC risk n Requires therapeutic intervention before onset of advanced fibrosis n Requires identification of infected cases
Summary • Clinical effectiveness is dependent on several factors in addition to clinical efficacy – HCV diagnosis – Referral to specialists – Treatment of comorbidities – Adherence to treatment
Institute of Medicine Report Underlying Factors • Lack of knowledge and awareness about chronic viral hepatitis among Healthcare and social service providers At-risk populations Policy makers and the public • Insufficient understanding about the extent and seriousness of this public health problem Colvin HM, Mitchell AE, eds. Hepatitis and liver cancer: a national strategy for prevention and control of hepatitis B and C. Institute of Medicine. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press, 2009.
Institute of Medicine Report Consequences Inadequate surveillance systems underreport acute and chronic infections At-risk people do not know they are at risk or how to avoid being infected At-risk people may not have access to preventive services People with chronic HCV infection do not know they are infected Many clinicians do not know how to screen people for risk factors or manage those who are infected HCV-infected people often have inadequate access to testing, social support, and medical management services Colvin HM, Mitchell AE, eds. Hepatitis and liver cancer: a national strategy for prevention and control of hepatitis B and C. Institute of Medicine. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press, 2009.
Institute of Medicine Report Recommendations Surveillance The CDC should: Evaluate national HCV public health surveillance system Develop agreements with state health departments to support core HCV surveillance Support targeted surveillance Knowledge & Awareness The CDC should work with key stakeholders to: Develop HCV educational programs for providers Develop and evaluate innovative and effective outreach programs to 1) target at-risk populations, and 2) increase public awareness Viral Hepatitis Services Federally funded health insurance programs (eg, Medicare) should: Incorporate guidelines for riskfactor screening as required component of preventive care Colvin HM, Mitchell AE, eds. Hepatitis and liver cancer: a national strategy for prevention and control of hepatitis B and C. Institute of Medicine. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press, 2009.
ARS Question: How likely are you to use social media to help increase public awareness of chronic hepatitis C? 1) Very likely 2) Likely 3) Maybe 4) Probably not 5) Never
ARS Question: In patients who present with non liver related complaints, how often do you evaluate a patient’s risk factors for chronic hepatitis C infection? 1) Always 2) Very Often 3) Sometimes 4) Rarely 5) Never
Optimization of Interferon. Based Therapies in Current HCV Patients– Can We Do Better? Donald M. Jensen, MD Professor of Medicine Director, Center for Liver Diseases University of Chicago Medical Center Chicago, Illinois
Why Do Current Drugs Fail? • Viral factors 1 – Viral protein products as inhibitors of innate immunity – Viral proteins as inhibitors of adaptive responses • Host factors – Fixed: race, genetics, age, gender – Modifiable: body mass index, insulin resistance, steatosis 1 • Treatment factors – Dose, duration, adherence, tolerability 1. Tai AW, et al. J Hepatol. 2009; 50: 412 -420.
Baseline Predictors • Host genetic makeup – IL 28 B polymorphism 1 n Allele on chromosome 19, rs 12979860 n Resides 3 kilobases upstream from the IL 28 B gene encoding IFN-gamma-3 n Strongly associated with rate of sustained virologic response – Other racial and genetic factors • Viral factors – Genotype – Viral load 1. Ge D, et al. Nature. 2009; 461: 399 -401.
Importance of IL 28 B Polymorphisms • C/C genotype is more common in racial groups with a higher sustained virologic response (SVR) • C/C genotype is associated with a higher SVR compared with T/C or T/T • IL 28 B polymorphisms may partially explain racial differences in antiviral response and may be a useful pretherapy tool Ge D, et al.

Improving Current Therapy 2 Goals • Increase SVR rate – Decrease risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)1, 2 – Decrease risk of decompensation 3, 4 – Improve fibrosis/reversal of cirrhosis 4 – Improve quality of life 5 • Improve adherence and tolerability – Shorten treatment duration if RVR – Minimize treatment-related adverse events 1.

Goal—Increase SVR Rate Current options • Increase interferon and/or ribavirin dose • Increase adherence • Increase treatment duration Is there evidence that these work?

Treat Now or Wait Until STAT-C? Treat Now • Advanced fibrosis • Symptomatic • Genotype 2, 3, or 4 • IL 28 B C/C genotype (? ) May Consider Waiting • Genotype 1 with mild histology • PEG IFN/RBV prior nonresponders • IL 28 B T/T or T/C genotype Interferon and ribavirin will be required in combination with all new STAT-C agents for several years
Conclusions • • Response-guided therapy is important theme now for optimizing existing interferon/ribavirin-based therapies Improvements in current standard of care can be demonstrated by – Identifying likely responder populations – Shortening treatment duration in patients with RVR and poor tolerability – Extending treatment duration in patients with slow partial response
ARS Question: Among all your genotype 1 patients who are eligible for current therapy, how often are you withholding therapy while waiting for novel drugs? 1) Always 2) Very Often 3) Sometimes 4) Rarely 5) Never

The Goal of IFN-Free Combination Regimens A A + Profound suppression of broad range of viral variants, including pre-existing B + C Prevention of emergent resistance (pre-existing or de novo) • Different drugs may contribute variably to each of these goals • Not all components have to be STAT-C agents Graphic courtesy of Dr. Ira Jacobson.
New Anti-HCV Therapies Anticipated Developments • • • Approval of telaprevir/boceprevir seems likely in 2011 Other direct antivirals and compounds with novel mechanisms of action in development Response-guided therapy Incorporation of genetic testing Accelerated development of interferon-free combinations The question for clinicians: to wait or not to wait?
ARS Question: Among your genotype 1 patients, how frequently will you be incorporating novel agents once they are approved? 1) Always 2) Very Often 3) Sometimes 4) Rarely 5) Never
