2 Objectives STOPAH Trial Chronic Hepatitis C Abbreviated Debrief General Considerations Late-Breaking Abstracts Summary

3 Recall Alcoholic Hepatitis Lecture from September 2014 Summary DF, MELD, GAHS, and ABIC have similar accuracy in predicting short-term mortality Prednisolone and pentoxifylline are effective treatments for alcoholic hepatitis The combination of prednisolone + pentoxifylline is not more effective than prednisolone alone (STOPAH UK trial ongoing) Effectiveness of NAC + prednisolone in alcoholic hepatitis needs to be studied (French study ongoing) 3

4 LB-1: Steroids or Pentoxifylline for Alcoholic Hepatitis: STOPAH Trial UK multi-center, double-blind RCT, four-arm study, with prednisolone (40 mg daily) and pentoxifylline (400 mg TID): Arm A: Placebo/Placebo x 4 weeks Arm B: Placebo/Prednisolone x 4 weeks Arm C: Pentoxifylline/Placebo x 4 weeks Arm D: Pentoxifylline/Prednisolone x 4 weeks N=1053 Primary endpoint: 28 d mortality Secondary endpoints: 90d and 1 year mortality

5 LB-1: Steroids or Pentoxifylline for Alcoholic Hepatitis: STOPAH Trial Inclusion Criteria: Clinical diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis DF > 32 Exclusion Criteria: Alcohol abstinence > 6 weeks prior to randomization > 3 month duration of jaundice Use of study drugs within the past 6 months AST > 500 U/L or ALT > 300 U/L Renal failure (Cr > 5.6) or need for renal support GI hemorrhage Untreated sepsis

6 LB-1: Table 1 4 arms were similar in: Age Gender Ethnicity Alcohol consumption Mean days from admission to treatment initiation Laboratory values

7 LB-1: Primary Endpoint Analysis Mortality at 28 days

8

9 LB-1: Primary Endpoint Analysis OR in prednisolone arm for 28 d mortality: 0.61 (95% CI 0.41 to 0.90), p=0.014

10 LB-1: Secondary Endpoint Analysis

11 LB-1: Adverse Events Infection: More common in prednisolone group (13.5%) v no prednisolone group (7.9%), p=

12 LB-1: Steroids or Pentoxifylline for Alcoholic Hepatitis: STOPAH Trial Conclusions Prednisolone improves 28 day mortality No benefit after this time Pentoxifylline offers no benefit Abstinence is a major determinant of survival after 90 days

13 Chronic Hepatitis C Abbreviated Debrief

14 The HCV Proteins c c

15 DAA s Nomenclature and Mechanism of Action - previr = Protease Inhibitor Blocks the NS3-4A protease Simeprevir, paritaprevir, telaprevir, boceprevir Low barrier to resistance - buvir = Polymerase Inhibitors Blocks the NS5B protein Nucleotide (e.g. sofosbuvir) High barrier to resistance Non-nucleotide (e.g. dasabuvir) Low barrier to resistance - asvir = NS5A Inhibitor Blocks a nonstructural protein involved Ledipasvir, ombitasvir, daclatasvir Low barrier to resistance
