  • 100 % dos pacientes mantiveram resposta virológica sustentada após 12 semanas de tratamento com VIEKIRA PAK (comprimidos de ombitasvir/veruprevir-ritonavir+dasabubir), sem ribavirina[i]
  • TURQUOISE-III avalia a eficácia de VIEKIRA PAK sem ribavirina em pacientes com genótipo 1b

SÃO PAULO, 29 de junho de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A AbbVie, companhia biofarmacêutica global, anunciou os resultados do estudo TURQUOISE-III, que demonstrou que 100% (n=60/60) dos pacientes adultos com o vírus da Hepatite C (HCV) crônica, Genótipo 1b, com cirrose hepática compensada1, mantiveram resposta virológica depois de 12 semanas de tratamento com VIEKIRA PAK (comprimidos de ombitasvir/veruprevir/ritonavir+dasabuvir) sem ribavirina. Estes resultados foram apresentados no 15o. Simpósio Internacional Anual sobre Hepatite Viral e Doenças Hepáticas, encerrado em 26 de junho, em Berlim, Alemanha.

Aproximadamente 160 milhões de pessoas em todo mundo estão infectadas pelo HCV[ii]. O genótipo 1 é o tipo mais comum  entre os pacientes com HCV, sendo responsável por cerca de 60% dos casos em todo o mundo[iii]. Com o tempo, a hepatite C crônica pode levar a complicações, incluindo cirrose hepática, em cerca de 10-20% das pessoas infectadas2.

"O genótipo 1b representa uma grande porção dos pacientes com HCV no mundo; e como é o sub-genótipo mais prevalente, há necessidade de continuarmos a explorar regimes adicionais de tratamento", afirmou o médico Jordan J. Feld, cientista clínico e diretor de pesquisa do Toronto Center for Liver Disease, Canadá. "Os resultados do TURQUOISE-III são promissores, demonstrando que pacientes com HCV, Genótipo 1b, com cirrose hepática compensada, têm a possibilidade de atingir altas taxas de resposta virológica sustentada com esse tratamento, sem interferon ou ribavirina em 12 semanas".

Foram incluídos no TURQUOISE-III tanto pacientes com HCV sem tratamento anterior, quanto pacientes que não responderam a tratamento anterior com interferon e ribavirina. Nenhum paciente interrompeu o tratamento devido a efeitos adversos1. Os efeitos adversos mais comuns foram cansaço (22 %), diarreia (20 %) e dor de cabeça (18 %)1.

"No estudo TURQUOISE-III, os pacientes com Hepatite C, Genótipo 1b, com cirrose hepática compensada, obtiveram 100 % de cura com VIEKIRA PAK, sem ribavirina", afirmou o médico Scott Brun, vice-presidente de desenvolvimento farmacêutico da AbbVie. "TURQUOISE-III faz parte do nosso programa de estudos de Fase 3b, o qual tem como meta aprimorar ainda mais nossa compreensão sobre o regime da AbbVie para populações com HCV na prática clinica e corrobora nosso compromisso com a pesquisa continuada neste campo".

Sobre o estudo TURQUOISE-III 

TURQUOISE-III é um estudo multicêntrico de Fase 3b, desenhado com o objetivo de avaliar a segurança e eficácia de 12 semanas de tratamento com VIEKIRA PAK, sem ribavirina, em pacientes adultos, com Hepatite C crônica, Genótipo 1b e cirrose hepática compensada, sem histórico de tratamento, ou tratados anteriormente e que não responderam à terapia com interferon peguilado e ribavirina. A meta principal do estudo é apresentar a taxa de resposta virológica sustentada após 12 semanas de tratamento1.

Nenhum paciente apresentou falha virológica durante o tratamento nem reincidência da infecção após o final do tratamento1.

Sobre o Programa de Desenvolvimento Clínico da AbbVie em HCV

O programa de desenvolvimento clínico da AbbVie para HCV tem o objetivo de avançar o conhecimento científico e clínico pela pesquisa de tratamentos totalmente orais e sem uso de interferon, com ou sem ribavirina, que apresentem altas taxas de resposta virológica sustentada, no maior número possível de pacientes. O programa de estudos de Fase 3b da AbbVie inclui mais de 2.800 pacientes com genótipo 1 em mais de 200 centros de estudos em todo o mundo, incluindo Brasil, Canadá, Estados Unidos, Rússia e países da Europa. Para mais informações, acesse www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Compromisso com o Brasil – Comprometida com o apoio à comunidade médico-científica e pacientes brasileiros que vivem com Hepatite C, a AbbVie atualmente realiza estudos epidemiológicos e clínico no Brasil, com um total de 23 centros de pesquisa e mais de 700 pacientes brasileiros envolvidos:

  • Fase 3b do estudo clínico Topázio III conduzido em 16 centros de pesquisa, em cinco Estados brasileiros, com pacientes infectados com Hepatite C, Genótipo 1, com ou sem cirrose hepática e com ou sem experiência prévia em tratamento com interferon.
  • "Hepatite C no Sistema Público: Padrões de Tratamento e o Impacto da Doença" é um estudo epidemiológico inédito, com pacientes de Hepatite C Genótipo 1, que tem como meta identificar os  padrões  de  tratamento  da  doença  pelo  sistema  público  brasileiro  e  seu  impacto  para  os pacientes.

Impacto da HCV – De acordo com o Ministério de Saúde, no Brasil, a prevalência da infecção pelo vírus da hepatite C varia entre 1,4 % a 1,7 %, principalmente entre as pessoas acima de 45 anos de idade. No mundo, estima-se que cerca de 3 % da população global pode ter sido infectada pelo vírus da hepatite C, o que corresponde a cerca de 160 milhões de pessoas. A transmissão da hepatite C é por sangue contaminado, por exemplo, por meio de transfusão de sangue, compartilhamento de seringa ou objetos de higiene pessoal, como lâminas de barbear, alicate para unha e cutícula, agulhas usadas para tatuagem e piercings.

Sobre VIEKIRA PAK

VIEKIRA PAK (comprimidos de ombitasvir/veruprevir/ritonavir+dasabuvir) tem sido estudado para uma ampla gama de pacientes infectados pelo vírus da Hepatite C (HCV), genótipo 1, incluindo aqueles com cirrose hepática. VIEKIRA PAK é uma combinação de ombitasvir (inibidor de NS5A), veruprevir  (inibidor de protease NS3/4A) e ritonavir (aumenta a concentração plasmática de veruprevir) e dasabuvir (inibidor de polimerase non-nucleotídeo NS5B). VIEKIRA PAK está aprovado no Brasil e disponível sob prescrição médica. Nos países da Comunidade Europeia, VIEKIRA PAK é comercializado como VIEKIRAX® (comprimidos de ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir) + EXVIERA (dasabuvir).
