C-WORTHY Study: Grazoprevir/Elbasvir Treatment in HCV Genotype 1
C-WORTHY Study Part B compares 12-week vs. 18-week treatment of grazoprevir/elbasvir plus ribavirin in HCV genotype 1 patients. The study includes treatment-naive individuals with cirrhosis and null responders with or without cirrhosis. Baseline characteristics, patient disposition, dosage of study drugs, and outcomes are reported. Primary efficacy endpoint is sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment initiation. Detailed data on patient demographics, HCV RNA levels, adverse events, and treatment discontinuations are presented. The study is significant for evaluating the efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen.

C-WORTHY Study part B: grazoprevir + elbasvir + RBV, 12 weeks vs 18 weeks in genotype 1 Summary In this phase II study, oral treatment with grazoprevir and elbasvir, with or without RBV, in HCV genotype 1-infected patients that are difficult to cure with HCV therapy (patients with well compensated cirrhosis and null responders with or without well compensated cirrhosis), high rates of SVR12 were shown across all groups, irrespective of the addition of RBV or extension of treatment duration from 12 to 18 weeks 12 weeks of GZR + EBR without RBV achieved SVR12 of 97% in previously untreated patients with cirrhosis, 91% in null responder patients with or without cirrhosis, 92% in null responder patients with cirrhosis The rate of virologic failure with GZR + EBR with or without RBV was low (4%) Similar efficacy was seen in patients with genotype 1a and 1b Patients with NS5A baseline resistance-associated variants had lower SVR12 Treatment-emergent, clinically significant, adverse events were infrequent No discontinuation for AE in the groups without RBV Lawitz E.
