Background: Relapse accounted for all virologic failures among treatment-adherent patients in the ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) Phase 3 clinical development program. We set out to validate the endpoint of SVR12 as a reliable assessment of HCV eradication in this IFN free regimen. Methods: LDV/SOF with or without ribavirin (RBV) was administered to 1952 patients in the registrational Phase 3 ION-1, ION-2, and ION-3 trials. HCV RNA concentrations were evaluated post-treatment to assess rates of SVR4, SVR12, and SVR24. Analyses were performed to assess the concordance between these assessments. Results: 1902 patients had assessments available at post-treatment Weeks 4 and 12, 1853 patients at post-treatment weeks 12 and 24. Thirty-six (36) patients’ relapsed (2%) and 2 patients were on-treatment, non-compliant virologic failures. Majority of patient who relapsed
signaling pathway (78%) had detectable HCV RNA (>25 IU/mL) at post-treatment week 4 with the remaining 8 patients (22%) relapsed between week 4 and 12 posttreatment. No patients relapsed between post-treatment weeks 12 and 24. Data for concordance between SVR4, SVR12, and 24 are summarized in Table 1. Conclusion: In LDV/SOF Phase 3 ION studies, no relapses occurred after week 12 post-treatment. Therefore, SVR12 is an appropriate time point for the reliable Glycogen branching enzyme assessment of a durable treatment response to LDV/SOF. Table 1.
