2 Why Treat Chronic Hepatitis C THE DISEASE Common, chronic, and potentially progressive Complications are becoming more common Liver failure, HCC THE TREATMENT Viral cure, or SVR, is achievable SVR associated with histologic improvement and gradual regression of fibrosis SVR reduces risk for liver failure and HCC, improves survival Kanwal F et al. Gastroenterology 2011; 140: Maylin et al. Gastroenterology 2008, 3:821-9 Asselah et al. Liver Int. 2015;35 S1:56-64

3 SVR 24 = SVR 12 = Cure The primary goal of HCV therapy is to cure the infection A sustained virological response - SVR - is defined as undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks (SVR12) or 24 weeks (SVR 24) after treatment completion The infection is cured in more than 99% of patients who achieve an SVR Swain MG, et al.. Gastroenterology 2010;139: Martinot-Peignoux et al.. Hepatology 2010;51:

4 SVR Associated With Reduced 5-Yr Risk of Death and HCC in All Populations SVR on IFN-based therapy was associated with substantial benefit vs no SVR 62% to 84% reduction in all-cause mortality 90% reduction in liver transplantatio 68% to 79% reduction in HCC 5-Yr Risk of All Cause Death by SVR SVR No SVR 5-Yr Risk of HCC by SVR Analysis included survival data from pts followed for average of 5 yrs Hill AM, et al.
