Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Hepatitis C Virus Overview
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation and damage, sometimes leading to serious liver disorder. HCV spreads through contaminated blood or body fluids. High-risk settings include IDU and the transfusion of unscreened blood and blood products, unsafe injection practices, unsafe health care. Other possible but less well-characterized risk exposures include tattoos and piercings, needle sticks, and unsafe/traumatic sexual practices.

HCV can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, long-term illness. HCV can be acute or chronic. Acute HCV occurs within the first 6 months after the patient is exposed to HCV. Around 55-85% of infected persons develop chronic HCV infection. Chronic HCV can be a lifelong infection if left untreated. Chronic HCV can cause serious health problems, including liver damage, cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer, and even death.

Most patients with newly acquired HCV do not exhibit symptoms of infection within the first 6 months. For people who develop symptoms, they usually happen 2-12 weeks after exposure to the HCV and can include yellow skin or eyes, not wanting to eat, upset stomach, throwing up, stomach pain, fever, dark urine, light-colored stool, joint pain, and feeling tired. Most chronic hepatitis C people do not have any symptoms or have only general symptoms like chronic fatigue and depression.


HCV is distinguished into different categories called genotypes based on similar genes. HCV genotypes are 1 (1a and 1b), 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In the United States, genotypes 1, 2, and 3 are the most common. Genotype 3 is the second most common HCV subtype in the world and most hard to treat because of the rapid progression of liver disease, increased rates of steatosis (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), and a higher risk for cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).


Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Diagnosis


HCV is diagnosed based on the patient's medical history, a physical exam, and blood tests. If a viral infection is confirmed, doctors may suggest additional tests to check the condition of the liver.


Initial testing for the diagnosis of hepatitis C infection uses serologic assays that detect human antibodies generated as a response to HCV infection. Blood tests for HCV include screening tests for antibodies to the HCV virus, HCV RNA test, Genotype test, etc.


In Chronic HCV, doctors may recommend additional tests to find out how much liver damage the patient has, or to rule out other causes of liver disease. These tests may include blood tests, Imaging Tests (Transient elastography, Ultrasound, MRI, and CT Scan), and Liver function Tests (ALT, AST, ALP, and total bilirubin). If the liver is damaged due to inflammation, enzymes pass out of the liver into the bloodstream, making ALT and AST levels higher than normal. The doctor may also recommend a liver biopsy if blood tests or imaging studies suggest the patient might have a liver problem. A biopsy can determine the extent of scarring, or fibrosis, in a liver affected by viral hepatitis


Hepatitis C Virus Treatment
New infection with HCV does not always require treatment, as the immune response in some people will clear the infection. However, when HCV infection becomes chronic, treatment is necessary.


The goal of hepatitis C treatment is a cure. HCV can be treated with antiviral medicines that attack the virus and can cure the disease in most cases. Several newer medicines, called direct-acting antiviral medicines, have also been approved to treat HCV. The four classes of DAAs, include NS5B nucleotide inhibitors, NS5B non-nucleoside inhibitors, NS5A replication complex inhibitors, and NS3/4A protease inhibitors (PI).


Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir), Viekira Pak (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir tablets; dasabuvir tablets), and Zepatier (elbasvir/grazoprevir) are the DAAs approved for different genotypes of HCV.


Pan genotypic treatments are drugs suitable for all genotypes of HCV. These drugs may simplify treatment by removing the need for genotype testing. Pan-genotypic regimens are recommended as first-line treatment for people with chronic hepatitis C infection. These include Epclusa (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir), Mavyret (glecaprevir and pibrentasvir), and Vosevi (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilapresvir).

HCV Approved Drugs


Mavyret (Glecaprevir and Pibrentasvir)/AbbVie
Mavyret is a pan-genotypic, once-daily, ribavirin-free, co-formulated next-generation HCV treatment including glecaprevir (broad-genotypic NS3/4A protease inhibitor) and pibrentasvir (NS5A inhibitor). Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir is the first pan-genotypic NS3/4A protease inhibitor-NS5A inhibitor combination to be approved that offers a potent ribavirin free option for the vast majority of patients with chronic hepatitis C, including a potential eight-week option for non-cirrhotic patients with renal disease or HIV co-infection. This drug is not an option for patients with decompensated cirrhosis given the presence of the protease inhibitor.


Vosevi (sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir)/Gilead Sciences
Vosevi is the first pan-genotypic fixed-dose tablet that includes medications from three different HCV antiviral classes, specifically for patients with hepatitis C who were previously treated with certain advanced hepatitis C regimens, but could not achieve a functional cure. It is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with chronic (lasting a long time) hepatitis C genotype with or without cirrhosis (compensated) who have previously been treated with an HCV regimen. Vosevi contains an active ingredient sofosbuvir, the medicine that has helped transform HCV treatment, combined with 2 additional medicines Velpatasvir and Voxilaprevir creating a highly effective HCV treatment.


Epclusa (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir)/Gilead Sciences
Epclusa is a pan-genotypic drug used to treat adults and children 6 years of age and older or weighing at least 37 lbs (17 kg) with chronic (lasting a long time) HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 infections without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis and with advanced cirrhosis (decompensated) in combination with ribavirin. It also provides a much-needed option for patients with HCV genotype 3 infections. Epclusa contains a combination of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir. Sofosbuvir and velpatasvir are antiviral medications that prevent HCV from multiplying in the body.


Harvoni (ledipasvir and sofosbuvir)/Gilead Sciences
Harvoni is a fixed-dose combination containing ledipasvir and sofosbuvir for oral administration. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog HCV polymerase inhibitor, and it blocks the polymerase enzyme which the virus must use to reproduce. Ledipasvir is an HCV NS5A replication complex inhibitor that interferes with another protein HCV uses to reproduce. The fixed-dose combination of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir provides an effective and well-tolerated one-pill once-a-day option for treatment of genotypes 1, 4, 5, and 6 chronic HCV infection. This direct-acting antiviral regimen was the first FDA-approved interferon- and ribavirin-free regimen to treat hepatitis C.


Note: Detailed Current therapies assessment will be provided in the full report of HCV
HCV Emerging Drugs
CC-31244 (Cocrystal Pharma)
CC-31244 is an investigational, oral, non-nucleoside inhibitor (NNI). It is a potential best-in-class pan-genotypic inhibitor of NS5B polymerase for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. It has the potential to be an important component in an all-oral ultra-short duration HCV combination therapy. It has been designed and developed using the Company's proprietary structure-based drug discovery technology to have a high barrier to drug resistance and to be a highly potent, selective NNI that is active against all HCV genotypes (1-6) with low-level cytotoxicity in multiple cell types. Currently, CC-31244 is under development and has recently completed its phase IIa stage in the US.
AT-777 (Atea Pharmaceuticals)


AT-777 is a novel NS5A inhibitor, being developed as a treatment for HCV. AT-777 is a purine nucleotide prodrug, which is being developed as an orally administered, direct-acting antiviral therapy for the treatment of patients with HCV. The use of nucleoside and nucleotide analogs to inhibit the viral RNA polymerase, thereby preventing propagation of the virus, is a well-documented and historically successful approach to the treatment of various viral diseases, including HCV infections.


Other than the previously mentioned candidates, AT-527 and AT-777, Atea Pharmaceuticals is also developing AT-787 as the lead candidate for the treatment of HCV patients. AT-787 is Atea's proprietary pan-genotypic product candidate. This direct-acting antiviral is a single fixed-dose tablet that combines AT-527 and AT-777 (purine nucleotide prodrug NS5B polymerase inhibitor and novel NS5A inhibitor, respectively) that has potent pan-genotypic activity against HCV replication in vitro. AT-787 is believed to have the potential to offer a short duration protease-sparing regimen for HCV-infected patients with or without cirrhosis. Due to this potential, Atea Pharmaceuticals has announced that rather than AT-527 and AT-777, AT-787 is the selected product candidate for the treatment of HCV.


Note: Detailed emerging therapies assessment will be provided in the final report.
HCV Market Outlook
Currently, treatment strategies for HCV mainly include Direct-Acting Antiviral agents. The development of new generation DAAs with much higher SVR rates has dramatically improved the prospects for people infected with HCV. DAAs directly target the HCV in different ways to stop it from reproducing. There are four classes of direct-acting antivirals that combine in various ways to make up the different HCV DAA treatments. NS3/4A protease inhibitors work by blocking a viral enzyme (protease) that enables the HCV to survive.

NS5A Inhibitors block a virus protein, NS5A, which HCV needs to reproduce. Non-Nucleoside NS5B Polymerase Inhibitors inhibit HCV from reproducing. Nucleoside and Nucleotide NS5B Polymerase Inhibitors directly target the HCV to inhibit making copies of itself in the liver. Oral antiviral medications include Zepatier (elbasvir and grazoprevir), Harvoni (ledipasvir and sofosbuvir), Viekira Pak (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir tablets; dasabuvir tablets), Mavyret (glecaprevir and pibrentasvir), Epclusa (sofosbuvir and velpatasvir), Vosevi (sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir).


At present, some companies have indulged themselves in initiating clinical trials that investigate new treatment options or studying how to use existing treatment options better. Current ongoing trials evaluate combinations of antivirals with high genetic barriers and investigate optimal treatment doses and durations. Key players such as Cocrystal Pharma (CC-31244), Atea Pharmaceuticals (AT-527, AT-777, and AT-787), PRISM Pharma and Ohara Pharmaceuticals (PRI-724), GeneCure Biotechnologies (HCVax (Therapeutic HCV vaccine)), and several others are investigating their candidates for the management of HCV in the 7MM. Companies like Medivir are investigating their candidate in the early stages of clinical development.

HCV Drugs Uptake
Currently, the HCV market is almost entirely dominated by direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) which represent a revolution in HCV drug discovery. DAAs were developed to improve the SVR rates, reduce adverse events, and improve adherence to therapy among HCV patients. Among DAAs, the majority of the market is currently dominated by Mavyret, Epclusa, and Harvoni. Among emerging therapies, Cocrystal Pharma (CC-31244) and Atea Pharmaceuticals (AT-787) are evaluating the potential of their regimens in the HCV market.


Access and Reimbursement Scenario in HCV Therapies
Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir was recommended by NICE in 2018, within its marketing authorization, as an option for treating chronic hepatitis C in adults, only if the company provides the drug at the same price or lower than that agreed with the Commercial Medicines Unit. Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir is suitable for all genotypes and has a shorter treatment duration than most other direct-acting antiviral treatments. Also, Elbasvir-grazoprevir was recommended by NICE, within its marketing authorization, as an option for treating genotype 1 or 4 chronic hepatitis C in adults.
