Randomized, Phase 2b Open-Label Study (AI443-014)
• Patients: treatment-naive, stratified by GT 1a/1b and presence of biopsy-confirmed cirrhosis (82% GT1a and 9% cirrhotics).
• Primary end point: HCV RNA < LLOQ 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12)
– Observed analysis: breakthrough, relapse, addition of pegIFNα/RBV = failure
– Modified intent-to-treat analysis: missing, breakthrough, relapse or addition of pegIFNα/RBV = failure

Conclusions
• In treatment-experienced patients with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis, either RBV or GS-9669 may enhance the efficacy of SOF/LDV given for 12 weeks
• The optimal duration of SOF/LDV in treatment-naïve GT 1 patients, even with the addition of RBV, is more than 6 weeks
• Regimens of SOF/LDV alone, or with RBV or GS-9669, were safe and well tolerated

Background and Aims
• ABT-450 is an HCV protease inhibitor
(dosed with ritonavir 100 mg, ABT-450/r)
• ABT-267 is an NS5A inhibitor
• Both compounds have shown potent antiviral
activity in vitro against HCV genotypes (GT)
1-4 and 6.

Background
• Reinfection of the transplanted liver is universal in patients who are serum
HCV RNA-positive at the time of transplantation
• Recurrence of HCV is the most common cause of mortality and graft loss
following transplantation
– 10–50% of patients with recurrent infection progress to cirrhosis within 5 years1
• Once cirrhosis is established, the probability of liver graft failure is 42%
within 12 months2
• Current therapies for HCV treatment used after transplantation have poor
tolerance, poor efficacy, severe adverse reactions, and significant
interactions with immunosuppression medications1. Berenguer M, et al. Clin Liver Dis 2007;11:355–76; 2. Berenguer M, et al. Hepatology 2002;36:202-10.

Study Design and Objectives
• Patients with recurrent HCV post-liver transplant, all genotypes
• Low, ascending-dose RBV regimen starting at 400 mg/day, escalated based on hemoglobin levels
• Study objectives– Primary: sustained virologic response 12 weeks post treatment with
sofosbuvir + RBV in liver transplant recipients – Secondary: safety, tolerability and viral kinetics
SOF 400 mg + RBV 400‒1200 mg (N=40) SVR12
Week 0 12 24 36
