BI 201335 Summary

  • Virologic response

– BI 201335 in combination with PegIFN/RBV produced a robust RVR and EVR in treatment-naïve HCV genotype-1 and in pts with non-response to PegIFN/RBV – The different BI 201335 dose regimens achieved similar antiviral activity

  • Adverse events

– GI disorders, jaundice (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia), and rash / photosensitivity were dose dependent and more frequently with BI 201335 – These events were mostly mild or moderate and managed without treatment modification – Discontinuation for AE was very low (<4%) for the 120 mg QD and 240 mg QD dose groups

BI 207127 Introduction

– reversible, thumb pocket 1 non-nucleoside HCV polymerase inhibitor in vitro – exhibits potent and specific inhibition of the HCV RNA- dependent RNA polymerase with cell-based HCV sub-genomic replicon EC50 values of 23 nM and 11 nM for GT-1a and GT-1b, respectively – A phase I trial in treatment-naïve (TN) and -experienced (TE) HCV genotype 1 (GT-1) patients demonstrated potent antiviral effects and good safety and tolerability of 200 to 1,200 mg BI 207127 given every 8 hours for 5 days as monotherapy

NNI BI 207127: Conclusions

  • BI 207127 alone or in combination with PegIFN/RBV induced rapid and

strong antiviral responses

  • Subtype 1a and 1b virologic response at 600 mg and 800 mg tid with

PegIFN/RBV was similar among TN patients

  • Virologic response in PegIFN/RBV non-responder patients was less

pronounced with BI 207127 in combination with PegIFN/RBV compared to TN patients

  • No rebound was observed in TN patients
  • BI 207127 with PegIFN/RBV was safe and tolerable with the best

efficacy/tolerability profile at 600 mg tid

  • The results support further assessment of BI 207127 in combination

regimens for the treatment of chronic HCV GT-1 infection
