5 Determinants OF RESPONCE Viral Factors:(Genotype,, Viral load, Quaisespecies) Drug Factors : (Type of INF, Dose, Duration) Patient Factors: Age, Sex, Ethnicity Infections (HIV,HBV, Schistosomiasis) Metabolic ( D.M, Weight, BMI) Liver histopathology (Cirrhosis,Steatosis,Iron, Steatosis,Iron)
6 Predictors of Treatment Failure Genotype High pre-treatment HCV RNA Advanced fibrosis BMI >30 Age >60

9 Predictors of SVR Viral Load 100 P = 0.2 P = 0.1 P = 0.04 Esmat et al, UEGW, 2003, Madrid Percentage > % < % *5 >10*5 INF Alfa-2b PEG-INF Total >10 5 <10 5 By COBAS Amplicor HCV RNA 2.0 Assay Measured by IU / ML
10 Liver biopsy : METAVIR scoring system F1 F2 F3 F4 From Z. Goodman
11 Cirrhosis The presence of portal fibrosis or cirrhosis is independently associated with decreased SVR rates (Wright, 2002). The use of interferon in patients with cirrhosis has been limited by concerns regarding adverse effects, particularly myelosuppression that can lead to clinically significant thrombocytopenia or neutropenia (Heathcote, 2000).
12 SVR rates and impact of fibrosis in patients with HCV SVR (%) Egyptian French African 0 p=0.01 F0 - F1 - F2 Fibrosis score F3 - F4 pegifnα-2b (1.5 μg / kg / week) plus RBV (1,000 1,200 mg / day) for 48 weeks Roulot et al, J Viral Hepat 2007; 14: 460

17 Predictors of treatment failure In univariate analysis: Weight > 80 kg METAVIR score F3 Steatosis AFP levels > median value In multivariate analysis: AFP levels only Antiviral Therapy,2007,12:797
18 AFP analysis Median (range) serum AFP level was 4.5 ( ) ng/ml Overall SVR rate was 61.0% (61/100): 80.4% in those with AFP 4.5 ng/ml 40.8% in those with AFP > 4.5 ng/ml None of the 7 patients with AFP pretreatment > 15 ng/ml achieved SVR Antiviral Therapy,2007,12:797
19 SVR (%) according to the Metavir fibrosis score and median AFP values Light grey: AFP 4.5 ng/ml Dark grey: AFP > 4.5 ng/ml 10 0 F1 or F2 F3 or F4
20 Liver Int.,2008 Among genotype 4 cronic hepatitis C patients, severe fibrosis, severe steatosis, treatment with standard interferon and a high serum AFP level were all negatively associated with SVR. Pretreatment serum AFP level should be considered in the routine assessment of factors predictive of a treatment response.
21 Schistosomiasis Trematode parasitic infection Intermediate host: water snails Debilitating disease, severity depends on worm load Theodor Bilharz ( ) first described the trematode working at Kasr El Ainy hospital in Cairo in 1851
22 Is schistosomal infection has an influence on anti-viral therapy? EL-Shazly et al., (1994); reported low rate of response in combined infection than in HCV alone. The presence of associated schistosomiasis has determined the response of Egyptians with chronic hepatitis C to therapy with interferon (Abdel Basset et al., 1994).
23 + + + Th1 IL-2 IFN-γ Viral clearance THo IL-2 IFN-γ IL-4 IL-5 IL Th2 IL-4 IL-5 IL-10 Immunopathogenesis of Combined infection
24 Immunopathogenesis of Combined Infection Schistosomiasis appears to induce Th2 cytokine profile, with IL-4, IL-10. It downregulate the stimulatory effect of HCV on Th1 cytokines and this may lead to chronicity of HCV infection in coinfected patients (El-Kady et al., 2004& 2005).
25 Predictors of Treatment Failure Genotype High pre-treatment HCV RNA Advanced fibrosis BMI >30 Age >60 Poor Adherence to therapy? A Modifiable Risk Factor!
26 Impact of Adherence on HCV Response Rates: PEG-IFN + RBV and 80/80/ Genotype 1 Genotype 2 or 3 88% 94% 95% 80 SVR (%) % 63% 34% 20 0 n=122 n=63 n=32 ITT 80/80/80 <80/<80/>80 PEG-IFN α-2b 1.5 μg/kg/wk + RBV 800 mg/day x 48 wks McHutchison JG et al. Gastroenterology 2002;123: n=58 n=32 n=19 ITT 80/80/80 <80/<80/>80

28 Adherence During First 12 Wks of PEG-IFNα-2b + RBV Therapy Affects Early Virologic Response 100 PEG-IFN α-2b start dose: 1.5 μg/kg each week RBV start dose: 800 mg/d Chance of EVR (%) % 80% Both Doses 80% 70% PEG Dose <80%; RBV Dose 80% <80% 60% RBV Dose <80%; PEG Dose 80% 33% n=324 n=38 n=3 n=15 Both Doses <80% Treatment Factor Davis GL et al.

29 Adherence: Take-home Messages Adherence critical for SVR Discontinuations have major impact on SVR Adherence in first 12 weeks of treatment affects EVR Reasons for lack of adherence: Lack of patient education Lack of support system Side Effects By far the most common

32 Time Course of Interferon Side Effects Severity Flu-like symptoms Fatigue Depressive/anxiety symptoms IFN Treatment (Weeks)
33 Side Effect Management General Strategies GOAL: Encourage patient adherence to treatment regimen Patient education about expectations Patient self-management techniques Regular follow-up visits in a supportive environment Permits early detection of emerging AE Permits early intervention when needed Ideal utilization of trained physicians
34 Side Effect Management Most adverse events are mild to moderate regardless of therapy Dose discontinuation appears to increase with longer therapy (48 vs 24 weeks) Patients can achieve expected response rates only if they can adhere to treatment Side effect management strategies can improve outcome and QOL
