Introduction: HCV infected patients with decompensated liver disease have significant morbidity & mortality. The efficacy & safety of LDV/SOF + RBV was evaluated in a pooled analysis of HCV GT-1 infected patients with decompensated liver disease enrolled in the SOLAR-1 & SOLAR-2 clinical trials.
Methods: Patients with HCV GT-1 infection & decompensated liver disease (CPT-B or CPT-C) who were either pretransplant or post liver transplant were included in the safety analysis. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 12 or 24 weeks of LDV/SOF+RBV treatment. These analyses were performed according to MELD categories of MELD ≤10, 11-14, 15-18 and >/= 19).
Results: 309 patients were included for safety analysis (202 pretransplant & 107 posttransplant). The majority of patients were treatment experienced (74 %), white (93%), males (73%), with IL28B non-CC (79%). The combined 12 & 24 week SVR12 rates by baseline MELD categories were ≤10 (100% & 97%), 11-14 (87% & 92%), 15-18 (83% & 68%) and ≥19 (70% & 83%) for pretransplant & posttransplant patients respectively. There were few relapses, 13 (7.3%) & 4 (4%) in the pretransplant & posttransplant groups respectively. The incidence of SAEs by MELD categories that were ≤10 were (18% & 24%), 11-14 (23% & 27%), 15-18 (37% & 42%) and ≥19 (58% & 67%) for pretransplant and posttransplant patients respectively. There were 14 (4.5%) treatment-emergent deaths with a higher incidence in patients with MELD scores ≥ 15 (7.3% vs 3.3%). Deaths were primarily associated with clinical progression of end stage liver disease; all were considered unrelated to study drug.
Conclusions: In HCV GT-1 infected patients with decompensated liver disease, LDV/SOF+RBV for 12 or 24 weeks resulted in high SVR rates. Patients with higher MELD scores ≥ 15 had higher rates of SAEs and death due to the severity of their underlying liver disease.
