fficacy
– MK-5172/MK8742 once daily with or without RBV for 12 weeks is highly efficacious with a SVR of 94%-98%
– MK-5172/MK-8742 + RBV for 8 weeks in patients with HCV G1a infection had an SVR44/8 of 83%
– Most common type of virologic failure was relapse after a treatment duration of 8 weeks
afety
– All treatment regimens were generally safe and well-tolerated
– There were no early discontinuations due to drug-related Aes
– No grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities

obally, ~7 million patients are co-infected with HIV and HCV(1)
V/HCV co-infected patients have a higher rate of progression to cirrhosis and hepatic compensation than HCV mono-infected patients(1-4)
K-5172 and MK-8742 can be dosed with raltegravir + dual NRTI (tenofovir or abacavir + tricitabine or lamivudine) without dosage adjustments
K-5172/MK-8742 has the potential to provide an all-oral, highly efficacious, simple, and ll-tolerated regimen

ne patient has not yet reached FU4
cacyTreatment with MK-5172 + MK-8742 ± RBV for 12 weeks demonstrated high efficacy (90-97% 4 weeks after end-of-treatment; SVR4)Three of 59 patients experienced virologic failure
– 1 relapse, 2 breakthrough
etyMK-5172 + MK-8742 ± RBV was generally safe and well tolerated in co-infected patientsThe most common AEs in co-infected patients were headache and astheniaAll co-infected patients had suppressed HIV and stable CD4 countsThere were no early discontinuations due to drug-related adverse events
