1 HEPATITIS C Current approach and Therapeutic considerations
2 Disease Burden Approximately 3.2 million people in the U.S. infected (1.3%) with HCV Responsible for 16,000 death per year in the U.S. (CDC 2010) Untreated, mortality projected to rise to 35,000 deaths per year over the next years. 15,000 cases of HCC per year, 50% are HCV associated Annual risk of HCC with cirrhosis 1-7% Armstrong et al, Ann Int Med Rein et al, Ann Int Med 2012, Ly et al, Ann Int Med 2012
3 Model of disease burden for untreated HCV Retirement Career Change Rein et al Digestive and Liver disease 2011
4 HCV screening and surveillance Surveillance of all high risk populations Injection drug users Receipt of blood products prior to 1990 High risk sexual behaviour HIV positive individuals 2011 CDC recommends screening of all baby boomers ( ) Estimates suggest that 45-80% of HCV infections have not been identified. Screening could identify up to 800,000 new cases.
5 HCV evaluation History Risk factor: Date of onset surrogate marker of duration Age -> more rapid disease progression with Advanced age at time of infection Advancing age Disease modifying factors HIV co-infection Alcohol use HBV Metabolic syndrome, NAFLD, DM
6 HCV evaluation Confirm HCV RNA positive Assess genotype (and subtype) Comorbidities/complications Metabolic syndrome/dm Iron overload Autoimmune disease Cryoglobulinaemia Renal disease -> urinalysis (MPGN without cryo s) Peripheral rash Neuropathy Baseline ultrasound Cirrhosis Vascular disease
7 Stage of fibrosis Liver biopsy Non-invasive markers of fibrosis Serum Indirect tests and indices Direct markers Elastography Fibroscan Ultrasound MR
8 Issues with liver biopsy Limitations Invasive 20% of patients experience pain Bleeding: % of patients Difficult to repeat frequently Sampling error 50,000 th of the liver 30% of biopsies taken between R and L lobe of liver had discrepancy of at least one stage Studies suggest biopsies of at least 2.5 cms needed Interpretation Significant inter and intraobserver variability.
9 Fibrosis staging
10 Noninvasive markers of liver fibrosis As a general rule: poor discrimination between stages of fibrosis, but reasonable performance for diagnosis of cirrhosis Indirect markers AST/ALT ratio: > 1 suggestive of cirrhosis APRI: AST/platelet ratio index. Fair to good performance. Fib-4: AST, ALT, age and platelets Similar to slightly superior performance c/w APRI
11 Non-invasive markers of fibrosis Direct markers (Commercially available) FibroTest (FibroSure U.S.) Age, sex, haptoglobin, alpha 2 macroglobulin, apolipoprotein A1, GGT, T bilirubin. Correlates with disease outcome Fibrospect: TIMP, alpha 2 macroglobulin and hyaluronic acid (HA) Only reports significant fibrosis (>F2) Hepascore: HA, alpha 2 macroglobulin, GGT and T bilirubin
12 Problems with serum markers Not liver specific Markers such as hyaluronic acid, procollagen increased in fibrotic skin diseases, arthritis etc.. May not be accurate in concomitant kidney disease (decreased renal clearance) Affected by aberrant results Gilbert s syndrome Haemolysis Inflammatory disorders
13 Elastography Fibroscan: Vibration induced elastography ARFI: Acoustic radiation force imaging Ultrasound based MR elastography
14 Fibroscan
15 Elastography Fair discrimination between stages of fibrosis In cirrhosis predictive of complications including portal hypertension, HCC etc. Increased stiffness measurements observed: Postprandial Congestive heart failure High serum transaminases (>5x ULN) Infiltrative disorders of the liver (sarcoidosis)
16 Test performance Significant fibrosis Cirrrhosis Test AUROC Sens Spec AUROC Sens Spec APRI % 95% % 94% Fib % 79% % 92% FibroSure % 96% % 81% FibroSpect % 70% Hepascore % 79% % 86% Fibroscan ARFI
17 Current Approach Discrepant results, Atypical features Liver biopsy Initial clinical Eval No cirrhosis Cirrhosis APRI Fibrosure Elastography HCC surveillance Varicies screening Consistent results Cirrhosis
18 Decision to treat Treat Stage F3-F4 (high priority) F4 commence HCC surveillance and EGD for varices Cirrhosis esp with features of liver decompensation refer to hepatologist. Stage F2 Individualize therapy Bias should be to offer treatment. Increased by Older age F0-1 HIV/HBV coinfection Concomitant DM, NAFLD Renal disease Individualise therapy (as above) Reasonable to defer for social, substance abuse, cost etc..
19 Hepatitis C structure and replication
20 HCV Replication
21 Classes of new drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C Drug class Example Pangenotypic Barrier to resistance Viral inhibition Protease inhibitors Simeprevir Faldaprevir Asuneprevir No (G1,?G4) Moderate Cross-resistance ++ High Nucleotide inhibitors of HCV polymerase Sofosbuvir Mericitabine Yes High High Non-nucleoside inhibitors of HCV polymerase Filibuvir Telgobuvir Deleobuvir No Low Low/mod Replication complex inhibitors Daclatasvir Ledipasvir Yes Low to medium Low/mod
22 Other targets for HCV treatment Viral entry: Monoclonal antibodies to SRB-1 and lectins have been shown to inhibit viral entry Viral assembly Target lipid binding and post-translational modification Cyclophilin inhibitors (host protein) Cyclophilin involved in viral replication complex Allosporuvir, Debio 025. MicroRNA-122 inhibitors Miravirsen
23 Investigational HCV Agents Class Drug Dosing NS3/4A protease inhibitor ABT-450/RTV 150/100 mg NS3 protease inhibitor Asunaprevir 200 mg BID NS3/4A protease inhibitor Faldaprevir 120 mg or 240 mg QD NS3 protease inhibitor GS mg QD NS3/4A protease inhibitor MK mg QD NS3/4A protease inhibitor Simeprevir 150 mg QD NS5B nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitor ABT mg BID NS5B nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitor BMS mg or 150 mg BID NS5B nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitor Deleobuvir 600 mg BID NS5B nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitor GS mg QD NS5B nucleotide polymerase inhibitor Sofosbuvir 400 mg QD NS5A inhibitor ABT mg QD NS5A inhibitor Daclatasvir 30 mg BID or 60 mg QD NS5A inhibitor Ledipasvir 90 mg QD NS5A inhibitor MK or 50 mg QD NS5A inhibitor PI mg QD
24 Principles of therapy One potent agent (Protease inhibitor or nucleotide analogue) + one or two equal or less potent agents. Therapy used should have: High expected sustained viral response rate (>85-90%) Therapy tailored to genotype and?subtype. Be cognoscente of prior treatment history and response patterns Protease resistance is a class effect Careful with drug-drug interactions (PIs and daclatasvir are Cyp3a metabolised) Pharmacokinetics and dosing: e.g. Sofosbuvir in CKD (GFR< 30) not defined.
