J. de Knegt SAFETY AND ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY OF SCH 900518 ADMINISTERED AS MONOTHERAPY AND IN COMBINATION WITH PEGINTERFERON ALFA-2B TO NAIVE AND TREATMENT-EXPERIENCED HCV-1 INFECTED PATIENTS 44th European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Meeting Copenhagen, Denmark, April 24, 2009

  2. Background: SCH 900518 Mechanism-based inhibitor of the HCV NS3 serine protease Replicon assay activity (HCV genotype 1b) EC50 = 20 nM, EC90 = 40 nM IFN-alfa–enhanced antiviral activity Resistance profile of SCH 900518 Similar to other protease inhibitors Decreased resistance in combination with IFN-alfa in vitro Primarily CYP3A4-mediated metabolism

  3. Study Design • Treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients with HCV genotype 1 infection • Two treatment periods in a fixed-sequence • Period 1 → Monotherapy for 7 days • Period 2 → Combination therapy with PEG-IFN alfa-2b for 14 days • Two doses explored (placebo-controlled) • 800 mg TID SCH 900518 • 400 mg BID SCH 900518 with ritonavir 200 mg BID (metabolic inhibition)

  4. Study Design and Treatment Regimens Period 1 Period 2 800 mg SCH 900518 TID Tx-Naive [n = 10] Tx-Experienced [n = 10] >28-Day Washout 800 mg SCH 900518 TID + PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 mg/kg) SOC 400 mg SCH 900518 BID + 200 mg RTV BID Tx-Naive [n = 10] Tx-Experienced [n = 11] >28-Day Washout 400 mg SCH 900518 BID + 200 mg RTV BID + PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 mg/kg) 7 days 14 days • Randomized 4:1 (Active: Placebo) • SCH 900518 dosed as amorphous suspension with food • RTV = ritonavir • SOC = Standard of care, began after period 2 • Serum HCV-RNA was determined using Roche COBAS TaqMan (v.2.0; LLQ = 25 IU/mL, LLD = 9.3 IU/mL)

  5. Baseline Characteristics

  6. SafetyAEs ≥10% During 7 Days of Monotherapy with SCH 900518 (± Ritonavir) *Reported by ≥50% of patients

  7. SafetyAEs ≥10% During 14 Days of Combination TherapySCH 900518 + PEG-IFN alfa-2b (± Ritonavir) *Reported by ≥50% of patients *reported by ≥50% of patients

  8. SCH 900518Overall Safety • Safe and well tolerated • No clinically significant changes in laboratory values, ECG recordings, or vital signs • Most AEs were mild or moderate in severity • One subject discontinued immediately after first dose because of intolerance to drug suspension • No SCH 900518-related SAEs • No deaths

  17. Conclusions SCH 900518 (± ritonavir ± PEG-IFN alfa-2b) was safe and well tolerated No SCH900518-related SAEs SCH 900518 exhibited potent antiviral activity in both treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling, as well as preliminary in-treatment antiviral data, support once-daily dosing of SCH 900518 with metabolic inhibition
