Background
• Simeprevir (TMC435) is an investigational, one pill, once-daily, potent oral HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor recently approved in Japan and currently under regulatory review in North America and Europe
• Sofosbuvir (GS-7977) is an HCV nucleotide NS5B polymerase inhibitor also currently under regulatory review
• COSMOS is a Phase IIa, randomized, open-label study investigating simeprevir + sofosbuvir +/- ribavirin
• Interim analysisJacobson IM, et al. Abstract #LB-3, AASLD 2013

COSMOS: Study design
• Cohort 1: Prior null responders (METAVIR F0-F2)– Final SVR12 for all arms
• Cohort 2: Treatment-naïve and prior null responders (METAVIR F3-F4)– Interim SVR4 for Arms 3 and 4

• Treatment with SMV + SOF ± RBV results in:– High SVR12 rates in HCV GT 1 null responder patients– High SVR4 rates in naïve and null-responder patients with METAVIR
F3-F4
• Addition of RBV to SMV + SOF may not be needed to achieve high rates of SVR in this patient population
• 12 weeks of treatment may confer similar SVR rates compared with 24 weeks of treatment
• SMV + SOF ± RBV was generally well tolerated

Objectives
Primary
• To assess the efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment with a new three
investigational drug, all-oral antiviral regimen of PPI-668 (NS5A inhibitor)
added to faldaprevir (protease inhibitor, FDV) and deleobuvir (non-
nucleoside NS5B inhibitor, DBV), with and without ribavirin (RBV), in patients
with HCV gt-1a infection
Secondary
• To assess the efficacy of two dose levels of DBV (600 mg BID vs.
400 mg BID), in the context of a three drug investigational regimen
• To assess the safety/tolerance of each of the treatment regimens Lalezari JP, et al. Abstract #LB-20, AASLD 2013

• Overall, 97% of patients across all three cohorts achieved HCV RNA <LLOQ (81% <LLOD) at week 4, regardless of RBV use

Lalezari JP, et al. Abstract #LB-20, AASLD 2013
27
Safety Observations • Clinical adverse events (AEs) have been similar to those previously seen in
studies of FDV and DBV (skin rashes and GI side effects, mild to moderate
in intensity)
• Patients in the RBV-free cohort (Cohort 3) exhibited a clear predominance of
mild AEs (83% indicated as “mild”) compared with mixed mild-moderate
severity for RBV-containing regimens (Cohorts 1 and 2)
• Grade ≥1 bilirubin elevations were common
– 88% of Cohort 1 and 2 patients, less common in RBV-free Cohort 3 (46%)

Study Design and Objectives
• Patients with recurrent HCV post-liver transplant, all genotypes
• Low, ascending-dose RBV regimen starting at 400 mg/day, escalated based on hemoglobin levels
• Study objectives– Primary: sustained virologic response 12 weeks post treatment with
sofosbuvir + RBV in liver transplant recipients – Secondary: safety, tolerability and viral kinetics

Background and Aims:
• Recurrent HCV infection of the allograft is universal
in patients with detectable HCV RNA at the time of
liver transplantation (LT) and may result in
accelerated progression to cirrhosis and graft loss.
• Interferon-based antiviral treatment before LT can
prevent HCV recurrence, but this treatment is poorly
tolerated and effective in only a minority of patients. Curry MP, et al. Abstract #213, AASLD 2013
56
Methods:
• In this phase 2 open-label study, patients with chronic HCV infection of any
genotype (GT) listed for LT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) received up
to 48 weeks of SOF 400 mg/day and RBV 1000-1200 mg/day before LT.
• All patients had HCC within Milan criteria and well compensated cirrhosis
(Child-Pugh-Turcotte score of ≤7).
• The primary endpoint was virologic response (HCV RNA <25 IU/mL)
12 weeks after LT in patients who had HCV RNA <25 IU/mL at their last
measurement prior to LT (SVR12).
• Post-LT immunosuppressive regimen was tacrolimus plus prednisone with
or without mycophenolate mofetil. Curry MP, et al. Abstract #213, AASLD 2013
57
Results: • 36 patients included in efficacy analysis
• Received a mean of 17.1 (range 3.3 to 33.7) weeks of treatment prior
to LT
• At the time of writing, 26 patients have reached at least 12 weeks post-
transplant, of whom 18 (69%, 90% CI 51% to 84%) achieved SVR12.
• The most frequently reported adverse events were fatigue, anemia,
and rash.
• Two patients discontinued treatment due to AEs of acute renal failure and
pneumonitis, neither was attributed to study drug.
• One SAE, anemia, was considered related to study drug. Curry MP, et al. Abstract #213, AASLD 2013
