Gilead's HCV Drugs EASL

Gilead announced 100% of patients with genotype 1 on PSI-7977 had undetectable HCV viral load after 4 weeks on therapy, all had RVR........Gilead's new GS-7977 data announced Thursday night come from a phase II study known as Electron first started by Pharmasset. In this particular arm of the study, 35 patients with genotype 1 hepatitis C (25 treatment-naïve patients and 10 who failed to respond to previous therapy) were treated with GS-7977 plus ribavirin. After four weeks of this two-drug oral therapy, 100% of patients achieved what is known as a "rapid viral response" or RVR, meaning that the virus could no longer be detected in their blood. RVR is an early and promising signal that drugs are working but it is not definitive proof of a hepatitis C cure. Patients are only deemed cured of hepatitis C -- a sustained virologic response or SVR -- if they have no evidence of the virus in their system 12 weeks after stopping treatment. At the upcoming CROI meeting Gilead will present further results on some of these 35 patients, specifically showing how many have undetectable virus four weeks after treatment with GS-7977 plus ribavirin ended.
