- Disclosed herein are a composition and unit dosage form for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection comprising GS-7977 and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, as well as methods for making the said composition and unit dosage form. Also disclosed herein is a method of treating a subject, preferably a human, infected with hepatitis C virus, said method comprising administering to the subject for a time period an effective amount of GS-7977 and an effective amount of ribavirin. In one aspect, the method comprises administering to the subject an interferon-free treatment regimen comprising an effective amount of GS-7977 and an effective amount of ribavirin. In a particular aspect, the method is sufficient to produce an undetectable amount of HCV RNA in the subject for at least 12 weeks after the end of the time period.
- Hepatitis C virus (“HCV”) infection is a major health problem that leads to chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, in a substantial number of infected individuals, estimated by the World Health Organization to be about 3% of the world's population. (World Health Organization, Hepatitis C (2002).) According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HCV is the most common blood-borne infection in the United States, with an estimated 3.2 million people (1.8%) chronically infected in the United States alone. (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Viral Hepatitis Surveillance—United States, 2010; U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 70(17): 537-539 (May 6, 2011).) An estimated 150-180 million individuals are chronically infected with HCV worldwide, with 3 to 4 million people infected each year. (World Health Organization, Hepatitis C, Fact Sheet No. 164 (July 2012); Ghany et al., Hepatology (2009) 49(4): 1335-1374.) Once infected, about 20% of people clear the virus, but the rest can harbor HCV for the rest of their lives. Ten to twenty percent of chronically infected individuals eventually develop liver-destroying cirrhosis or cancer. (Naggie et al., J. Antimicrob. Chemother. (2010) 65: 2063-2069.) The viral disease is transmitted parenterally by contaminated blood and blood products, contaminated needles, or sexually and vertically from infected mothers or carrier mothers to their offspring.
- The HCV virion is an enveloped positive-strand RNA virus with a single oligoribonucleotide genomic sequence of about 9600 bases which encodes a polyprotein of about 3,010 amino acids. The protein products of the HCV gene consist of the structural proteins C, E1, and E2, and the non-structural proteins NS2, NS3, NS4A and NS4B, and NS5A and NS5B. The nonstructural (“NS”) proteins are believed to provide the catalytic machinery for viral replication. The NS3 protease releases NS5B, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, from the polyprotein chain. HCV NS5B polymerase is required for the synthesis of a double-stranded RNA from a single-stranded viral RNA that serves as a template in the replication cycle of HCV. Therefore, NS5B polymerase is considered to be an essential component in the HCV replication complex. (K. Ishi, et al, Hepatology (1999) 29: 1227-1235; V. Lohmann, et al., Virology (1998) 249: 108-118.) Inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase prevents formation of the double-stranded HCV RNA and therefore constitutes an attractive approach to the development of HCV-specific antiviral therapies.
- A number of potential molecular targets for drug development of direct acting antivirals as anti-HCV therapeutics have now been identified including, but not limited to, the NS2-NS3 autoprotease, the N3 protease, the N3 helicase, and the NS5B polymerase. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is essential for replication of the single-stranded, positive sense, RNA genome, and this enzyme has elicited significant interest among medicinal chemists. Another auxiliary protein of HCV is referred to as NS5A. The NS5A nonstructural protein is a phosphoprotein, with no apparent enzymatic activity; however it acts as a multifunctional regulator of cellular pathways, including host cell growth, immunity and innate immunity, and virus replication. (Appel et al., J. Virol. (2005) 79: 3187-3194; Evans et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2004) 101: 13038-13043; Gale et al., Nature (2005) 436: 939-945; Gale et al., Virology (1997) 230: 217-227; Ghosh et al., J. Gen. Virol. (1999) 80(Pt 5): 1179-1183; Neddermann et al., J. Virol. (1999) 73: 9984-9991; Polyak et al., Hepatology (1999) 29: 1262-1271; Shimakami et al., J. Virol. (2004) 78: 2738-2748; Shirota et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2002) 277: 11149-11155; and Tan et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A (1999) 96: 5533-5538.) NS5A is associated with host cell membranes through its N-terminal amphipathic helix, where it is a part of the replication complex. (Elazar et al., J. Virol. (2004) 78: 11393-11400 and Penin et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2004) 279: 40835-40843.) Recent studies suggest that NS5A is organized into three domains: the first 213 amino acids in the N-terminal domain constitutes domain I and contains a zinc binding motif suggesting that the protein is a zinc metalloprotein and domains II and III are in the C-terminal region of the protein. (Tellinghuisen et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2004) 279: 48576-48587 and Tellinghuisen et al., Nature (2005) 435: 374-379.) NS5A exists in two phosphorylated forms: a basal form of 56 kD and a hyperphosphorylated form of 58 kD. The protein is phosphorylated at specific sites, primarily on serine residue within domains II and III, by host cell kinases. (Ide et al., Gene (1997) 201: 151-158; Kaneko et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. (1994) 205: 320-326; Katze et al., Virology (2000) 278: 501-513; Reed et al., J. Biol. Chem. (1999) 274: 28011-28018; Reed et al., J. Virol. (1997) 71: 7187-7197; and Tanji et al., J. Virol. (1995) 69: 3980-3986.)
- The initially-approved standard of care (“SOC”) for the treatment of chronic HCV infection is a combination therapy with pegylated interferon alfa-2a or pegylated interferon alfa-2b (collectively “peginterferon” or “PEG”) used alone or in combination with ribavirin (“RBV”). The primary goal of treatment for chronic hepatitis C is a sustained virologic response (“SVR”), which refers to an undetectable level of serum HCV RNA maintained for a period of time post-treatment. Host factors including age, body weight, race, and advanced fibrosis influence the outcome of treatment (Dienstag and McHutchison Gastroenterology (2006)130: 231-264 and Missiha et al., Gastroenterology (2008) 134: 1699-1714), but are poor predictors of response. In contrast, viral factors like the genotype and the on-treatment pattern of viral response can be used to determine the likelihood of treatment success and guide treatment duration individually, and they have proven to be very useful in clinical practice. (Ge et al., Nature (2009) 461: 399-401.)
- In spite of an encouraging response in some patients to SOC treatment, the overall response to peginterferon/ribavirin combination therapy among patients infected with Hepatitis C virus is only about 50%. SVR rates are <50% for patients infected with genotype 1 HCV treated with a prolonged duration (48-72 weeks) of peginterferon/ribavirin therapy. (Naggie et al., J. Antimicrob. Chemother. (2010) 65: 2063-2069.) Accordingly, there is a need to provide a therapy resulting in improved SVR compared to the outcome of treatment with peginterferon alone or in combination with ribavirin. There is also a need to provide a therapy that reduces the time in which patients show evidence of complete viral suppression (negative HCV status) following the initiation of treatment.
- Peginterferon alfa-2a (“PEG-IFN-α-2a” or “peginterferon α-2a”), marketed under the trademark PEGASYS®, is an antiviral administered by subcutaneous injection indicated for, among other things, treatment of chronic hepatitis C (“CHC”) when administered alone or in combination with ribavirin. PEGASYS® is indicated for the treatment of CHC in patients with compensated liver disease not previously treated with interferon alpha, in patients with histological evidence of cirrhosis and compensated liver disease, and in adults with CHC/HIV co-infection. Combination therapy using PEG-IFN-α-2a and ribavirin is recommended unless the patient has contraindication to or significant intolerance to ribavirin.
- Peginterferon alfa-2b (“PEG-IFN-α-2b” or “peginterferon α-2b”), marketed under the trademark PEGINTRON®, is also administered by subcutaneous injection and is indicated for use alone or in combination with ribavirin to treat CHC in patients with compensated liver disease. Like PEG-IFN-α-2a, PEG-IFN-α-2b has undesirable side effects.
- Ribavirin (“RBV”), marketed under the trademark COPEGUS®, is a nucleoside analogue indicated for the treatment of CHC virus infection in combination with peginterferon in patients 5 years of age and older with compensated liver disease not previously treated with peginterferon, and in adult CHC patients co-infected with HIV. Ribavirin alone is not approved for the treatment of CHC. (COPEGUS® FDA-approved label, revised 08/2011.) Clinical trials have shown that ribavirin alone can normalize alanine aminotransferase (“ALT”) levels transiently during the course of treatment in some patients with CHC infections. However, these studies have reported that ribavirin alone did not reduce HCV RNA levels during or after therapy and did not produce any sustained virologic response. (Di Bisceglie et al., Ann. Intern. Med. (1995) 123(12): 897-903; Dusheiko et al., J. Hepatology (1996) 25: 591-598; Bodenheimer, Jr., et al., Hepatology (1997) 26(2): 473-477.) One clinical study reported observing a decrease in HCV RNA from treatment with ribavirin monotherapy (1.0 to 1.2 g daily for 24 weeks); however, the observed HCV RNA decrease was transient and no patient receiving ribavirin monotherapy cleared HCV RNA. (Pawlotsky et al., Gastroenterology (2004) 126: 703-714.)
- Treatment of CHC using peginterferon alone or in combination with ribavirin has several disadvantages. First and foremost, this therapy is not effective for many patients. For instance, certain Phase 3 clinical trials using the combination of peginterferon and ribavirin reported SVR rates of 54 to 63%, but additional studies show that the SVR rates may be much lower in certain populations. (Feurstadt et al., Hepatology (2010) 51(4): 1137-1143.) Second, use of peginterferon and ribavirin is associated with certain adverse events. For instance, the boxed warning on the PEGASYS® label states that use of peginterferon may cause or aggravate fatal or life-threatening neuropsychiatric, autoimmune, ischemic, and infectious disorders. (PEGASYS® (peginterferon alfa-2a) FDA-approved label, revised 09/2011.) Additionally, the boxed warning on the COPEGUS® label states that ribavirin adverse effects may include hemolytic anemia and that significant “teratogenic and embryocidal effects have been demonstrated in all animal species exposed to ribavirin.” (COPEGUS® (ribavirin) FDA-approved label, revised 08/2011.) Finally, the peginterferon/ribavirin treatment protocol is quite expensive. Given these disadvantages, there has been a recognized need to develop new anti-HCV drug substances and treatment regimens.
- The FDA recently approved two additional drug products for the treatment of genotype 1 CHC, boceprevir and telaprevir, both of which are HCV NS3/4 protease inhibitors. Boceprevir, marketed under the trademark VICTRELIS®, is indicated for the treatment of genotype 1 CHC infection, in combination with interferon and ribavirin, in adult patients (≧18 years of age) with compensated liver disease, including cirrhosis, who are previously untreated or who have failed previous interferon and ribavirin therapy. Telaprevir, marketed under the trademark INCIVEK®, is indicated, in combination with interferon and ribavirin, for the treatment of genotype 1 CHC in adult patients with compensated liver disease, including cirrhosis, who are treatment-naïve or who have been previously treated with interferon-based treatment, including prior null responders, partial responders, and relapsers. Both boceprevir and telaprevir are approved for administration in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin only; neither is approved for monotherapy or for administration with ribavirin alone. (INCIVEK® (telaprevir) FDA-approved label, revised 06/2012; VICTRELIS® (boceprevir) FDA-approved label, revised 07/2012.)
- The introduction of both boceprevir and telaprevir has increased the therapeutic options available to HCV-infected patients; however, both treatment regimens have certain disadvantages. A principle disadvantage is that the boceprevir and telaprevir regimens still require the use of peginterferon. Additional disadvantages are summarized below.
- Boceprevir (used in combination with peginterferon α-2a and ribavirin) has a complicated dosing regimen, e.g., 800 mg (4×200 mg) three times daily (every 7 to 9 hours) with food. Moreover, late-stage clinical studies show that boceprevir used in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin results in a 66% SVR rate. (Manns et al., Liver Int'l (2012) 27-31.) Additionally, the boceprevir regimen must be administered for 48 weeks, which means that the treatment costs are quite expensive. Finally, use of boceprevir in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin is presently limited to those subjects infected with HCV genotype 1.
- The telaprevir regimen (used in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin) requires a dosing regimen of 750 mg (2×375 mg) three times daily (7-9 hours apart) with food. An SVR rate of 79% was reported for patients receiving telaprevir in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin for 12 weeks. (Jacobson et al., New Engl. J. Med. (2011) 364: 2405-2416.) However, reports reveal that about half of the treated patients developed a skin rash or itching, and a small number of patients developed the severe Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a life-threatening skin condition, in which case the regimen must be terminated. Finally, use of telaprevir in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin is presently limited to those subjects infected with HCV genotype 1. Although the treatment period is reduced for telaprevir as compared to that for boceprevir, the treatment costs for the two regimens are about the same.
- Despite the additional options offered by the boceprevir and telaprevir regimens, these alternative treatments still have disadvantages. Further, genotype 1 patients who fail therapy with boceprevir and/or telaprevir in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin may develop undesirable NS3 protease inhibitor resistance. (E.g., Pawlotsky, Hepatology (2011) 53(5): 1742-1751.) There is a need for improved treatment regimens that are more effective, safe, tolerable, shorter in duration, and which are associated with reduced rates of viral breakthrough and/or viral resistance. In particular, there is a need for interferon-free treatment regimens that are effective for treating CHC but result in reduced side-effects compared to treatment regimens involving interferon or peginterferon. There is also a need for interferon-free treatment regimens for patients suffering from CHC infection who are interferon-ineligible or interferon-intolerant.
- GS-7977 (also called sofosbuvir and formerly called PSI-7977) is a nucleotide analog prodrug currently in Phase 2/Phase 3 trials for treatment of chronic HCV infection.
- Several Phase 2 clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GS-7977 400 mg administered for 8 or 12 weeks with or without ribavirin and optionally peginterferon in subjects with GT1, GT2 or GT3 HCV. The results of these trials, along with the results if in vitro studies, revealed several potential and hereto unknown advantages of HCV treatment regimens utilizing GS-7977 in combination with ribavirin. These results provide a basis for the disclosed and claimed method and composition for treating HCV infection.
- Disclosed herein are a composition and unit dosage form for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection comprising GS-7977 and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, as well as methods for making said composition and unit dosage form.
- Also disclosed herein is a method of treating a subject, preferably a human, infected with hepatitis C virus, said method comprising administering to the subject for a time period an effective amount of GS-7977 and an effective amount of ribavirin. In one aspect, the method comprises administering to the subject an interferon-free treatment regimen comprising an effective amount of GS-7977 and an effective amount of ribavirin. In a particular aspect, the method is sufficient to produce an undetectable amount of HCV RNA in the subject for at least 12 weeks after the end of the time period.

- TID means that the dose is administered three times a day.
- QID means that the dose is administered four times a day.
- The highest activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are found in hepatocytes and striated (skeletal and cardiac) muscle cells. Increased serum ALT activity can accompany hepatocellular injury or necrosis of striated muscle. With cell injury or death, ALT escapes from the cytosol. In addition, release of ALT from the cytosol can occur secondary to cellular necrosis or as a result of cellular injury with membrane damage. Determination of ALT activity is a relatively sensitive indicator of hepatic damage. Mechanisms of increased activity of ALT in serum include enzyme release from damaged cells or induction of enzyme activity, such as increased enzyme synthesis from drug administration. (Zeuzem, et al., Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2006 Oct. 15; 24(8) 1133-1149).
- The interleukin 28B (IL28B) gene encodes a cytokine distantly related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. The IL28B gene, interleukin 28A (IL28A), and interleukin 29 (IL29) are three closely related cytokine genes that form a cytokine gene cluster on a chromosomal region mapped to 19q13. Expression of the cytokines encoded by the three genes can be induced by viral infection. All three cytokines have been shown to interact with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor that consists of
interleukin 10 receptor, beta (IL10RB), and interleukin 28 receptor, alpha (IL28RA). (National Center for Biotechnology Information, Entrez Gene Entry for IL28B, Gene ID: 282617, updated on 23 Oct. 2010.) - Body mass index (“BMI”) is a measurement based on a person's weight and height and is used to estimate a healthy body weight based on a person's height, assuming an average body composition.

- The choice of particular types and amounts of excipients, and tabletting technique employed depends on the further properties of GS-7977 and the excipients, e.g., compressibility, flowability, particle size, compatibility, and density. In this regard, reference is made Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 2006, 21st edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; see also Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients 1994, edited by A. Wade and P. J. Weller, The Pharmaceutical Press, 2nd Edition, London. A skilled formulation scientist may modify the formulations within the teachings of the specification to provide numerous formulations for a particular route of administration without rendering compositions containing GS-7977 unstable or compromising their therapeutic activity.
- Tablets may be prepared according to methods known in the art, including dry granulation (e.g., roller compaction), wet granulation (e.g., fluid bed granulation and high shear granulation), and direct compression, and the type of excipients used will vary accordingly. It has been found that dry granulation is particularly suitable for providing high strength, low breakage tablets comprising relatively high concentrations of crystalline GS-7977 (e.g., about 33%), on a scale suitable for commercial production. Suitable dry granulated tablets comprise granules comprising GS-7977 and one or more of a diluent, a disintegrant, a glidant, and a lubricant, wherein the granules are mixed with one or more of a diluent, a disintegrant, a glidant, and a lubricant to form a granulation mixture that is compressed to form tablets.

- A fourth aspect of the fifth embodiment comprises at least one of the following steps:
- (1) Sifting/Blending: GS-7977 and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are sifted and/or blended during the formulation process. In one non-limiting example, first, GS-7977 and intragranular excipients (first diluent, optional second diluent, glidant, disintegrant; except for the intragranular lubricant) are sifted through a 20-mesh screen, added to a blender, and blended for a first blending time period to produce an initial blend. In one aspect, the first blending time period ranges from about 5 to about 30 minutes. Separately, an intragranular lubricant is passed through a 20-mesh screen, mixed with a portion of the initial blend, added to the blender, and blended for a second blending time period. In one aspect, the second blending time period is from about 1 minute to about 10 minutes. In another aspect, the second blending time period is from about 1 minute to about 5 minutes. In another aspect, the second blending time period is from about 5 minutes to about 10 minutes. Second, extragranular excipients (first diluent, optional second diluent, glidant, disintegrant) (except for the extragranular lubricant) are sifted through a 20-mesh screen and used in the final blending. It is contemplated that the blending time periods may increase as the scale of the formulation process increases.
- (2) Dry Granulation:
-
- (A) Roller Compaction: GS-7977 and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are passed through a roller compactor to product compacts. Compacts are then milled (below) to achieve granules. In one non-limiting example, a blend comprising GS-7977, intragranular excipients, and lubricant, is passed through a roller compactor until granulation is achieved. The non-limiting example has the following parameters: granulator speed ranges from about 50 to about 90 rpm, more specifically about 70 rpm; compactor speed ranges from about 4 to about 6 rpm, more specifically about 5 rpm; and pressure ranges from about 65 to about 100 barr, more specifically about 75 to about 100 bar.
- (B) Milling (preparation of milled/sifted granule): GS-7977 and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are milled and/or sifted. In one non-limiting example, after GS-7977 and intragranular excipients have passed through the roller compactor, the material is passed/forced through a 20-mesh screen using a Comill or Fitz Mill, and then sifted with a 60 mesh screen. In this non-limiting example, material which remains on the 60 mesh screen is considered to be an acceptable granule, but material which passes through the 60 mesh screen is considered fines and is re-circulated through the roller compactor. This process is repeated until the percentage of fines is less than 20%. In one non-limiting example, the mill speed ranges from about 50 to about 90 rpm, more specifically about 70 rpm,
- (3) Final Blending: Granules comprising GS-7977 and intragranular excipients that have been milled/sifted are blended with extragranular excipients in a final blending.
- In one non-limiting example, the milled/sifted granules comprising GS-7977 and intragranular exceipients are added to a blender (e.g., a double-cone blender, a bin blender, or a V-shell blender) along with extragranular excipients (first diluent and/or second diluent, glidant, and disintegrant) and blended for about 10 to about 30 minutes. The extragranular lubricant is passed through a 20-mesh screen and added to the blend. The blend/mixture is blended for about 5 minutes. It is contemplated that the blending time periods may increase as the scale of the formulation process increases.
- (4) Compressing: The final blend is compressed into tablets using a tablet press (e.g., a Globe Pharma Mini Press).
- (5) Optionally, tablets are film-coated with a film-coating agent.
- In a fifth aspect of the fifth embodiment, GS-7977 is blended with intragranular excipients comprising microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, croscarmellose sodium and colloidal silicon dioxide in a blender. The mixture is milled and blended with a portion of magnesium stearate, then dry granulated using a roller compactor and mill. The resulting granules are then blended with extragranular excipients comprising microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and colloidal silicon dioxide. An additional portion of magnesium stearate is added and the resulting composition is mixed to yield a powder blend comprising 33.33% w/w GS-7977. The powder blend is compressed into tablet cores to yield tablets comprising about 400 mg of GS-7977. The tablet cores are film-coated, and the resulting film-coated tablets are then packaged.

-
HCV Genotype PEGASYS ® Dose* COPEGUS ® Dose Duration Genotypes 1, 4 180 μg <75 kg = 1000 mg 48 weeks ≧75 kg = 1200 mg 48 weeks Genotypes 2, 3 180 μg 800 mg 24 weeks Genotypes 2 and 3 showed no increased response to treatment beyond 24 weeks. *See PEGASYS ® Package Insert for further details on PEGASYS ® dosing and administration. The FDA-approved label for PEGASYS ® dated Sep. 29, 2011 is incorporated by reference. - The daily dose of COPEGUS® indicated for use in combination with peginterferon is 800 mg to 1200 mg administered orally in two divided doses (BID). The dose should be individualized to the subject depending on baseline disease characteristics (e.g., genotype), response to therapy, and tolerability of the regimen. Based on the foregoing, as well as the examples described below, an effective amount ribavirin when used in combination with an effective amount of GS-7977 is contemplated to include 800 mg and 1000 mg to 1200 mg, including daily doses of 1000 mg or 1200 mg depending on body weight.
- Based on the data reported herein, an effective amount of GS-7977 is 400 mg QD, which can also be administered BID, TID, or QID. It is also contemplated that an effective amount of GS-7977 can include 100 mg to 400 mg and all integer values in between.
- When administered as a combination, GS-7977 is administered to the subject in association with ribavirin. That is, the GS-7977 dose is administered during the same time period that the subject receives doses of ribavirin. Concurrent or alternative administration is considered, which means that while the GS-7977 and ribavirin are administered during the same time period, the specific order of administration on a daily basis can be: GS-7977 followed by ribavirin, GS-7977 and ribavirin together, or ribavirin followed by GS-7977. GS-7977 may be administered orally in capsule or tablet form, or any other suitable unit dosage form, in association with the oral (capsule or tablet form) administration of ribavirin. Of course, other types of administration of both medicaments, as they become available, are contemplated, such as by nasal spray, by a buccal or sublingual administration dosage form, transdermally, by suppository, by sustained release dosage form, etc. Any form of administration will work so long as the proper dosages are delivered without destroying the active ingredient and/or without impeding the effective amount of GS-7977 and/or an effective amount of ribavirin delivered to the subject.
- A series of formulations containing polymorphic Form 1 GS-7977 with different quantitative compositions of excipients were prepared and screened using the roller compaction process to evaluate the impact of various diluents and compression aids on granulation powder properties and on tablet disintegration and dissolution times.
- Considerations were also given to moisture sorption properties of the tablets due to the sensitivity of Form 1 of GS-7977 to moisture.
- All formulations were compressed into tablets at both high and low hardness levels. Formulation and tablet performance were determined by tablet disintegration time, content uniformity, and dissolution, as presented in Table 1A.

In contrast, incorporation of mannitol as the sole diluent (Formulation C) without a disintegrant resulted in lower compressibility and a longer disintegration time resulting in slower dissolution. When used in combination with microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol levels as high as 75% of total filler amount (Formulation G) produced an acceptable tablet as long as a disintegrant was added to the formulation. However, lowering mannitol levels produced a harder and more robust tablet. Dicalcium phosphate used in combination with mannitol (Formulation H) failed to produce an acceptable tablet with respect to dissolution and hardness. The data in Table 1A support the use of formulations containing microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol/microcrystalline cellulose, in particular, as diluents.
- Formulations B2 and G2 in Table 1A prepared per a roller compaction/granulation process were further evaluated. The prototype tablet batches were packaged 30 tablets per bottle and placed on stability in 40° C./75% RH conditions, with each bottle containing a molecular sieve (Tri-Sorb®) dessicant. The data shown in Table 1B show a decrease in moisture level as the amount of mannitol is increased (concomitant with reduction in microcrystalline cellulose).

- (1) A composition comprising GS-7977 (Form 1) and the intragranular excipients (mannitol, croscarmellose sodium, and colloidal silicon dioxide) was sifted through a 20-mesh screen and added to a blender (V-shell blender) and blended for about 10-15 minutes to obtain an initial blend. Separately, the intragranular magnesium stearate was passed through a 20-mesh screen and mixed with a portion of the initial blend, added to the blender, and blended for about 5 minutes to obtain an intragranular blend.
- (2) Separately, the extragranular excipients microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and colloidal silicon dioxide were sifted through a 20-mesh screen for use in the final blending (step (4), below).
- (3) The intragranular blend comprising GS-7977, mannitol, croscarmellose sodium, colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate was passed through a roller compactor equipped with a 20-mesh (0.84 mm) milling screen on the granulator and both 20- and 60-mesh (0.25 mm) screens on the separator until granulation was achieved. The roller compactor parameters were: (i) granulator speed ranges from about 50 to about 90 rpm, more specifically about 70 rpm, compactor speed ranges from about 4 to about 6 rpm, more specifically about 5 rpm, and pressure ranges from about 65 to about 100 barr, more specifically about 75 to about 100 bar. Ribbons were produced using flat straight-grooved rollers. Upon passing through the roller compactor, the material was passed/forced through a 20-mesh screen and then sifted with a 60 mesh screen. Granules were sorted into three categories (coarse, acceptable, and fine) using the separator portion of the dry granulator. ‘Coarse’ granules retained on the 20-mesh (0.84 mm) screen on the separator were passed through a Comil with a 0.055-inch (1.4 mm) round screen. Granules that remained on the 60 mesh screen were considered to be ‘acceptable’ granules. The milled/sifted granule material was passed to the final blending step. Material that passed through the 60 mesh screen was considered ‘fine’ and was re-circulated through the roller compactor. This process was repeated until a minimum amount (e.g., less than 20%) of fines remained.
- (4) The milled/sifted granules from step (3) and the sifted extragranular excipients (microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, croscarmellose sodium and silicon dioxide) from step (2) were added to a blender (V-shell blender) and blended for about 15 minutes. Separately, magnesium stearate was passed through a 20-mesh screen. The magnesium stearate was added to the blender and blended for about 5 minutes to obtain a final powder blend comprising 33.33% w/w GS-7977. Blend uniformity samples were taken prior to removing the blend from the blender.
- (5) The final blend was compressed into tablets using a tablet press (e.g., a Globe Pharma Mini Press) to obtain 1200 mg uncoated tablets comprising about 400 mg of GS-7977. As needed, a 15% w/w aqueous suspension for film-coating comprising polyvinyl alcohol (Opadry II Purple) was prepared and applied to achieve a target weight gain of 3% (range: 2-4%). The coating suspension was sprayed at 300 g/min/4 guns (range: 200-400 g/min/4 guns) at a target pan speed of 5 rpm (range: 4-8 rpm) and an exhaust temperature of 46±5° C. The GS-7977 tablets were packaged with 30 tablets and 1 gram of desiccant per bottle.
- Uncoated tablets comprising 400 mg of GS-7977 (Form 1) were prepared in a similar manner using blue and red lake in the blend (Tablet B in Table 2).
- Another formulation (Tablet C) was prepared containing GS-7977 polymorphic Form 6 (33.33%), mannitol (30.00%), microcrystalline cellulose (29.67%), croscarmellose sodium (5.00%), colloidal silicon dioxide (0.50%), and magnesium stearate (1.50%), as described in Table 3. While a low moisture grade of microcrystalline cellulose (PH 112) was used in the Form 1 formulation to improve the stability of Form 1 GS-7977, the microcrystalline cellulose grade was changed to PH 102 for the Tablet C formulation due to the non-hygroscopic nature of Form 6. In addition, incorporation of a large proportion of the excipients into the intragranular composition decreased the potential for powder segregation and the variability in the blend, and improved the tablet content uniformity for the Tablet C formulation.

The mixture was milled, blended with the intragranular magnesium stearate and dry granulated using a roller compaction process train and mill. The resulting ribbons were milled through a milling screen and then blended with the extragranular excipients (microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, colloidal silicon dioxiade, magnesium stearate) to yield a powder blend comprising 33.33% w/w GS-7977. The powder blend was compressed to a target tablet weight of 1200 mg, with each tablet comprising about 400 mg of GS-7977. An aqueous suspension for the film-coating process was prepared and applied to achieve a target weight gain of 3%.
- Moisture content was tested for Tablets A-C and tablet stability (30 tablets/bottle with a 1 gram Tri-sorb® dessicant in a 60 cc HDPE bottle) was tested for Tablets B and C, the results of which are presented in Table 4.

HCV genotype 1a replicon. (Robinson et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. (2010) 54(8): 3099-3106.) The cells were grown in cell culture medium containing Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with Gibco® GlutaMAX supplemented with 10% HyClone FBS, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids. Replicon cells were maintained in 0.5 mg/mL Geneticin®. The cells were passaged every 3-4 days before reaching confluency. All compounds were supplied in 100% DMSO and compound serial dilutions were performed in 100% DMSO. To each well of a 384-well plate was added 90 μL of cell culture medium (without Geneticin®) containing 2000 suspended HCV replicon cells and 0.4 μL of compound solution. The DMSO concentration of the final assay wells was 0.44%. The plates were incubated for 3 days at 37° C. with 5% CO2 and 85% humidity. - For the CC50 assay, the media in the 384-well plate was aspirated and the wells were washed four times with 100 μL 1×PBS each. A volume of 50 μL of a solution containing 400 nM calcein AM in 1×PBS was added to each well and the plate was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature before the fluorescence signal (excitation 490 nm, emission 520 nm) was measured.
- EC50 assays were performed in the same wells as CC50 assays. The calcein-PBS solution was aspirated and a volume of 20 μL of Dual-Glo® luciferase buffer was added to each well. The plate was incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature and a volume of 20 μL of a solution containing a 1:100 mixture of Dual-Glo® Stop & Glo® substrate and Dual-Glo® Stop & Glo® buffer was added to each well. The plate was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes before the luminescence signal was measured.
- The combination study experimental data were analyzed for two-compound synergy using the MacSynergy II program developed by Prichard and Shipman. (Prichard et al., MacSyngergy™ II, Version 1.0, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1993).) Two-compound synergy definitions are provided in Table 6:
-

A cytotoxicity study analyzing the combined effect of GS-7977 and ribavirin showed cell viability greater than 85% at the highest combined drug concentrations (320 nM GS-7977, 1600 nM ribavirin, 14.0±4.4% inhibition on cell growth). (See also Hebner et al., 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, Poster 1875, Nov. 12, 2012.) These findings support the potential of GS-7977 administered in combination with ribavirin to achieve enhanced viral suppression compared to GS-7977 or ribavirin monotherapy.
- In vitro studies have shown that S282T is the primary mutation selected by GS-7977 in
HCV genotype - Introduction of the NS5B S282T mutation into 1b, 1a, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, and 5a HCV replicons resulted in reduced susceptibility to GS-7977 for all seven genotypes, producing a 2- to 16-fold increase in EC50 values compared to the wild-type from the corresponding genotypes. Surprisingly, the S282T replicons were 3- to 10-fold more sensitive to treatment with ribavirin than their corresponding wild-type for these seven genotypes. EC50 values were not calculated for genotype 6a S282T mutants due to low signal-to-noise ratios; the genotype 6a mutant did not replicate sufficiently to obtain drug susceptibility data. The results of these studies are presented in Table 7, below, and in
FIG. 2 . -

GT 2a replicons revealed that GS-7977 alone displayed greater inhibition of WT than S282T, resulting in a population that was 92% mutant S282T over fifteen days. Ribavirin alone suppressed S282T more than WT, resulting in a population that was 96% WT after fifteen days. The combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin also preferentially inhibited S282T over WT, resulting in a population that was 91% WT following thirty days of treatment. The results of the passaging study are presented inFIG. 3 . (See also Han et al., 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, Poster 1078, Nov. 11, 2012.) - Thus, while the S282T replicon has been shown to confer reduced susceptibility to GS-7977 in vitro, the mutant replicon has demonstrated increased susceptibility to ribavirin over the wile-type, suggesting that treatment of CHC with the combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin may result in reduced viral breakthroughs and incidence of resistance compared to monotherapy with GS-7977 alone. The hypersensitivity of S282T mutants to ribavirin may provide an additional advantage to combination treatment comprising GS-7977 and ribavirin, in terms of preventing or delaying the emergency of S282T mutants.
- Quantitative HCV RNA testing for clinical trials was performed using the Roche COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® HCV TaqMan® assay using a standardized, automatic RNA extraction system and standardized controls and calibrators. The established LOD of the assay was 15 IU/mL (defined by a 95% hit rate with WHO Standards). HCV RNA levels were measured using serum samples.
- US 2010/0226885 (U.S. Ser. No. 12/376,180), which is incorporated by reference, also discloses a method for measuring whether a patient has achieved an HCV negative status using RT-PCR to measure HCV RNA levels.
- A
Phase 2a, 3-cohort placebo-controlled study (P7977-0221) evaluated treatment with GS-7977 (100 mg, 200 mg or 400 mg QD) in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin in treatment-naïve GT1 HCV subjects for 4 weeks, followed by up to an additional 44 weeks of treatment with SOC peginterferon and ribavirin. High RVR (88-94%) was observed for all three GS-7977 treatment groups. Following discontinuation of GS-7977, the durability of antiviral response (SVR-12 and SVR-24) was greatest in the 400 mg treatment group (86.7% and 80.0%, respectively). SVR-12 and SVR-24 rates were 72.2% and 83.3%, respectively, for patients receiving a 200 mg GS-7977 treatment regimen, and the majority of GS-7977-treated patients who failed to achieve SVR received a 100 mg QD dose of GS-7977. - The
Phase 2b PROTON study evaluated treatment with a combination of GS-7977, peginterferon, and ribavirin at daily dosage levels of 200 mg and 400 mg of GS-7977 for 12 weeks, followed by up to an additional 36 weeks of treatment with SOC peginterferon and ribavirin. A greater number of subjects experienced viral breakthrough after cessation of the GS-7977 200 mg dosage level while still receiving peginterferon/ribavirin treatment compared to no viral breakthroughs after cessation of the GS-7977 400 mg dosage level while still receiving peginterferon/ribavirin treatment. - The preceding studies indicate enhanced efficacy for a GS-7977 400 mg daily dose level compared to a 200 mg daily dose level.
- The
ongoing Phase 2a ELECTRON clinical study evaluated GS-7977 400 mg QD for 8 or 12 weeks in combination with or without ribavirin and/or peginterferon in subjects with GT1, GT2 or GT3 HCV infection. Preliminary data demonstrates 100% SVR-12 for treatment-naïve GT2 or GT3 HCV patients treated with a combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin, regardless of the presence of peginterferon, as well as 84% SVR-12 for treatment-naïve GT1 HCV patients receiving combination treatment with GS-7977 and ribavirin. In comparison, only 60% of treatment-naïve GT2/GT3 HCV patients receiving GS-7977 monotherapy achieved SVR-12. - Part 1 of the ELECTRON trial evaluated 12-week regimens of GS-7977 400 mg QD in combination with ribavirin (RBV) only (1000/12000 mg by weight BID) and, in separate arms, with abbreviated durations of peginterferon for 4, 8, or 12 weeks in treatment-naïve patients with HCV GT2 or GT3:
- Group 1: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 12 weeks (no peginterferon) (GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve); and
- Groups 2, 3, 4: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 12 weeks and PEG (180 μg weekly) weeks 1-4 only/PEG (180 μg weekly) weeks 1-8 only/PEG (180 μg weekly) weeks 1-12 (GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve).
- In Part 2 of the ELECTRON trial, an additional 30 patients were enrolled in exploratory regimens of GS-7977 monotherapy and abbreviated durations of total therapy with the combination of GS-7977, RBV and PEG:
- Group 5: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) monotherapy for 12 weeks (GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve);
- Group 6: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with PEG (180 μg weekly) and RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 8 weeks (GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve); and
- Group 7: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 12 weeks (GT1 null responders).
- In Part 3 of the ELECTRON trial, two additional peginterferon-free regimens were explored in treatment-naïve patients with HCV GT1 and treatment-experienced patients with HCV GT2 or HCV GT3:
- Group 8: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 12 weeks (GT1 treatment-naïve); and
- Group 9: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 12 weeks (GT2/GT3 treatment-experienced).
- In
Part 4 of the ELECTRON trial, two further peginterferon-free regimens were added: - Group 10: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (1000/1200 mg BID) for 8 weeks (GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve); and
- Group 11: GS-7977 (400 mg QD) with RBV (800 mg BID) for 12 weeks (GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve).
- Null responders were defined as patients with <2 log10 IU/mL decline from baseline HCV RNA after at least 12 weeks of treatment with peginterferon and ribavirin.
- Treatment-experienced patients were defined as those who had any of the following responses after at least 12 weeks of treatment with peginterferon and ribavirin: (1) <2 log10 IU/mL decline from baseline HCV RNA, (2) ≧log10 IU/mL reduction in HCV RNA, but HCV RNA>limit of quantitation (“LOQ”) at end of treatment, and (3) HCV RNA<LOQ at end of treatment but subsequent HCV RNA>LOQ (relapsers).
- The preliminary results of the ELECTRON trial are presented below.

All such patients treated with a combination of GS-7977 and RBV (with or without PEG) had no detectable amount of HCV RNA at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks after the termination of treatment.
- Table 9 also reveals that all HCV GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve patients receiving 12 weeks of GS-7977 (400 mg QD) monotherapy (Group 5) had no detectable amount of HCV RNA during the entire treatment period. However, only 60% of the patients receiving GS-7977 monotherapy achieved SVR-12 and SVR-24.
- Comparing Group 1 (GS-7977+RBV) with Group 5 (GS-7977 monotherapy), the combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin appears to provide a synergistic increase in SVR-4, SVR-8, SVR-12 and SVR-24 rates, as ribavirin alone has been reported to have little to no effect on HCV RNA levels.
- Table 10 provides the mean HCV RNA values (log10 IU/mL) for treatment-naïve HCV GT2/GT3 patients (N=10) for time of treatment (12 weeks) up to 12 weeks after treatment (W24) for patients receiving a combination of 400 mg QD of GS-7977 and 1000/1200 mg BID (based on weight) of RBV (Group 1). Table 10 also provides the mean HCV RNA values (log10 IU/mL) for treatment-naïve HCV GT2/GT3 patients (N=10) for the time of treatment (12 weeks) for patients receiving a 12-week regimen of 400 mg QD of GS-7977 only (Group 5). The terms “D1 (6 hr)” and “D1 (12 hr)” refer to the recorded measurements made 6 hrs and 12 hrs, respectively, on day 1 following day 1 dosing. The data presented in Table 10 is also illustrated in

FIG. 1 clearly show that treatment of HCV GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve patients with a combination of GS-7977 and RBV (in the amounts noted above) results in mean HCV RNA levels below the limit of detection during weeks 4-12 of the treatment period, as well as SVR-12. This data also shows that the mean HCV RNA value is below the limit of detection during weeks 3-12 of the treatment period for patients receiving GS-7977 monotherapy. However, Table 10 andFIG. 1 also illustrate that patients who received a combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin for 12 weeks (Group 1) maintained lower mean HCV RNA levels for the 12 weeks following cessation of treatment compared to patients who received monotherapy with GS-7977 (Group 5). - These results demonstrate that the combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin is advantageous in that patients can be treated for HCV without receiving peginterferon treatment and achieve a high rate of SVR-12.
- A summary of the preliminary patient results for all nine fully reported cohorts of the ELECTRON trial as related to the percentage of patients having an amount of HCV RNA below the limits of detection (LOD) is summarized in Table 11.

The data in Table 11 also demonstrates an SVR-12 rate of 84% for patients with HCV GT1 (Group 8) treated with a combination of GS-7977 and RBV in the absence of peginterferon. In contrast, monotherapy with GS-7977 (Group 5) for GT2/GT3 treatment-naïve patients produced an SVR-12 rate of 60%.
- All patients enrolled in Group 10 (8 weeks of GS-7977+ribavirin combination therapy in treatment-naïve GT2/GT3 HCV subjects) achieved rapid virological response, and there were no discontinuations or on-treatment breakthroughs.
- Treating a subject infected with HCV by administering an effective amount of GS-7977, either alone or in combination with an effective amount of RBV, means that the side-effects normally associated with peginterferon may be avoided. Table 12 presents adverse events reported in at least 15% of the subjects in any treatment group for ELECTRON Groups 1-9.

Groups 1, 7, 8, 9) compared to treatment regimens also involving peginterferon (Groups 2, 3, 4). For example, reduced rates of the following adverse events were reported for the interferon-free treatment regimens combining GS-7977 and ribavirin: blood and lymphatic system disorders (including anemia); pain and chills; metabolism and nutrition disorders (including decreased appetite); musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (including myalgia, back pain and arthralgia); nervous system disorders (including headache and dizziness); psychiatric disorders (including insomnia); respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders (including dyspnoea); and skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (including pruritis, dry skin and alopecia). - The data in Table 13, below, reveals reduced frequencies of Grade 3 and
Grade 4 hematologic abnormalities for interferon-free Groups Groups 2, 3, 4 and 6 receiving treatment regimens including peginterferon: -

- To date, no virologic breakthrough has been observed during treatment with GS-7977, suggesting a high barrier to resistance. Across the P7977-0221, PROTON, ELECTRON (Groups 1-9) and ATOMIC Phase 2 human clinical studies of treatment regimens involving GS-7977 alone or in combination with ribavirin and/or peginterferon, 53 out of 621 patients have experienced viral relapse after cessation of GS-7977-containing treatment. Population sequencing of the viral relapse samples showed that S282T was detected in only one of the 53 patients, who was GT2b and relapsed 4 weeks after completion of 12 weeks of GS-7977 monotherapy. Deep sequencing revealed 99% S282T in this GT2b patient at relapse. Population and clonal phenotypic analysis demonstrated that the GT2b S282T-containing sample was 8- to 13-fold less susceptible to GS-7977 compared to corresponding baseline virus. For the other 52 patients experiencing relapse, deep sequencing at baseline and relapse showed no S282T, and no specific NS5B mutation at other residues was identified by population or deep sequencing as being associated with GS-7977 resistance. (See also Svarovskaia et al., 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, Poster 753, Nov. 11, 2012.)
- The foregoing illustrates that GS-7977 has a high resistance barrier. Notably, the S282T mutation has not been observed in any patient receiving a treatment regimen combining GS-7977 and ribavirin.
- Concordance of SVR-4 with SVR-12 and SVR-24 for Treatment Regimens Combining GS-7977 with Ribavirin and Optionally Peginterferon
- Florian et al. have reported that SVR-12 and SVR-24 were concordant across a large population database of HCV clinical trials including trials involving peginterferon/ribavirin combination treatment and treatment regimens combining peginterferon, ribavirin and telaprevir or boceprevir, with SVR-12 having a positive predictive value of 98% for SVR-24. (Florian et al., AASLD 2011, Abstract LB-28; see also Martinot-Peignoux et al., Hepatology (2010) 51(4): 1122-1126.)
- HCV data from treatment-naïve GT1, GT2 and GT3 patients in the PROTON, ELECTRON and ATOMIC Phase 2 studies who received at least 12 weeks of treatment with GS-7977, either alone or in combination with ribavirin and optionally peginterferon, were evaluated. Only patients treated for at least 12 weeks with 400 mg GS-7977 who had SVR-4 and SVR-12 or SVR-4 and SVR-24 data were included in the analysis (259 of 596 patients). The analysis found 99-100% concordance between SVR-4 and both SVR-12 and SVR-24 across all regimens for patients who achieved SVR-4 and for whom post-treatment week 12 data were available. These results show that SVR-4 is highly concordant with SVR-12 and SVR-24 for GT1, GT3 and GT3 HCV patients treated with 400 mg GS-7977 and ribavirin, and optionally with peginterferon. (Lawitz et al., GS-7977 Phase 2 Trials: Concordance of SVR4 with SVR12 and SVR24 in HCV Genotypes 1-3, EASL (Apr. 18-22, 2012).)
- The foregoing suggests that the SVR data presented herein may have predictive value for longer-term SVR rates including SVR-24, SVR-36 and SVR-48.
- The compositions and unit dosage forms comprising GS-7977 disclosed herein provide good stability to moisture and degradation, as well as desirable dissolution and disintegration profiles. They may be used to treat HCV infection optionally in combination with ribavirin, peginterferon or any other antiviral agent.
- Additionally, the foregoing data illustrate that GS-7977 administered in combination with ribavirin (with or without peginterferon) elicited a rapid decline in HCV RNA and end of treatment response (EOTR) in patients with HCV GT1, GT2 and GT3. No viral breakthrough has been observed during the course of treatment with GS-7977, including when combined with ribavirin and optionally peginterferon. SVR-12 was 100% for HCV GT2 and GT3 treatment-naïve patients who received a combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin for 12 weeks and 84% for HCV GT1 treatment-naïve patients who received a combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin for 12 weeks, compared to 60% SVR-12 for HCV GT2 and GT3 treatment-naïve patients who received GS-7977 alone. Given that ribavirin, alone, has been shown to have little to no effect on HCV RNA levels in human clinical trials, the foregoing clinical and in vitro data demonstrates that the combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin produces a synergistic reduction in HCV RNA levels.
- Further, treatment arms in the ELECTRON trial receiving GS-7977 in combination with ribavirin, compared to treatment arms also receiving peginterferon, reported reduced incidences of side effects, suggesting that interferon-free treatment with a combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin may offer advantages over treatment regimens involving peginterferon.
- Even further, in vitro results showing that HCV replicons with the S282T mutation, which show reduced susceptibility to GS-7977, display increased susceptibility to ribavirin suggest that the combination of GS-7977 and ribavirin may provide a treatment regimen resulting in reduced rates of resistance compared to monotherapy with GS-7977. Thus far, the S282T mutation has not been observed in a patient receiving GS-7977 and ribavirin combination therapy, compared to the observation of the mutation in one patient receiving GS-7977 monotherapy.
- The ability to provide effective therapy without peginterferon according to the methods described herein has the potential to significantly improve therapeutic options for individuals living with HCV infection.
- The foregoing description of the present invention provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise one disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention.
