IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BOXED WARNING: RISK OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS REACTIVATION IN HCV/HBV COINFECTED PATIENTS

Test all patients for evidence of current or prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection before initiating treatment with HARVONI. HBV reactivation has been reported in HCV/HBV coinfected patients who were undergoing or had completed treatment with HCV direct acting antivirals (DAAs) and were not receiving HBV antiviral therapy. Some cases have resulted in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death. Cases have been reported in patients who are HBsAg positive, in patients with serologic evidence of resolved HBV, and also in patients receiving certain immunosuppressant or chemotherapeutic agents; the risk of HBV reactivation associated with treatment with HCV DAAs may be increased in patients taking these other agents. Monitor HCV/HBV coinfected patients for hepatitis flare or HBV reactivation during HCV treatment and post-treatment follow-up. Initiate appropriate patient management for HBV infection as clinically indicated.

Contraindications

• If HARVONI is used in combination with ribavirin (RBV), all contraindications, warnings and precautions, in particular pregnancy avoidance, and adverse reactions to RBV also apply. Refer to RBV prescribing information.

HARVONI is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1, 4, 5, or 6 infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis. HARVONI is used with ribavirin in GT 1 adults with decompensated cirrhosis and in GT 1 or 4 adult liver transplant recipients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT DURATION FOR ADULTS WITH HCV GT 1, 4, 5, 6, INCLUDING THOSE WITH HCV/HIV-1 COINFECTION1

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Warnings and Precautions

• Serious Symptomatic Bradycardia When Coadministered with Amiodarone: Amiodarone is not recommended for use with HARVONI due to the risk of symptomatic bradycardia, particularly in patients also taking beta blockers or with underlying cardiac comorbidities and/or with advanced liver disease. In patients without alternative, viable treatment options, cardiac monitoring is recommended. Patients should seek immediate medical evaluation if they develop signs or symptoms of bradycardia.

• Test all patients for evidence of current or prior HBV infection by measuring hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) before initiating HCV treatment with HARVONI

• For patients with HCV/HIV-1 coinfection, follow the dosage recommendations above. Refer to the Drug Interactions section of the HARVONI Prescribing Information for dosage recommendations for concomitant HIV-1 antiretroviral drugs

• No dosage recommendation can be given for patients with severe renal impairment (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [eGFR] <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to higher exposures (up to 20-fold) of the predominant sofosbuvir metabolite

• Clinical and hepatic laboratory monitoring, as clinically indicated, is recommended for patients with decompensated cirrhosis receiving treatment with HARVONI and RBV

HARVONI REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE: HCV-TARGET4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Drug Interactions

• In addition to rifampin and St. John’s wort, coadministration of HARVONI is also not recommended with carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifapentine, and tipranavir/ritonavir. Such coadministration is expected to decrease the concentration of ledipasvir and sofosbuvir, reducing the therapeutic effect of HARVONI.

• The HCV-TARGET study evaluated the safety and efficacy of 8, 12, or 24 weeks of HARVONI in real-world GT 1 adult patients in academic or community settings

• HCV-TARGET included GT 1 TN and TE patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (N = 2099)

• SVR12 rates in HCV-TARGET excluded patients lost to follow-up

• The HARVONI regimen was selected and administered at the clinician’s discretion according to local standards of care

• Treatment with HARVONI for 8, 12, or 24 weeks resulted in overall SVR12 rates of 96%

• Of the total of 2356 patients that ended treatment with a HARVONI-containing regimen:

– 2.8% (n = 67) of patients discontinued treatment (13 deaths, 12 were in patients with cirrhosis)

– 8% (n = 190) had insufficient follow-up or were lost to follow-up post-treatment

• Of the 2099 patients in the per-protocol population (virological outcome known), 15% (n = 311) received HARVONI + RBV

HARVONI for 12 weeks is recommended for TN GT 1 patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) and for TE GT 1 patients without cirrhosis. HARVONI for 8 weeks can be considered in TN GT 1 adults without cirrhosis who have pre-treatment HCV RNA <6 million IU/mL. HARVONI for 24 weeks is recommended for TE GT 1 adults with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A). HARVONI + RBV for 12 weeks can be considered in TE GT 1 patients with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) who are eligible for RBV.1

HARVONI REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE: SUMMARY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Contraindications

• If HARVONI is used in combination with ribavirin (RBV), all contraindications, warnings and precautions, in particular pregnancy avoidance, and adverse reactions to RBV also apply. Refer to RBV prescribing information.

Warnings and Precautions

• Serious Symptomatic Bradycardia When Coadministered with Amiodarone: Amiodarone is not recommended for use with HARVONI due to the risk of symptomatic bradycardia, particularly in patients also taking beta blockers or with underlying cardiac comorbidities and/or with advanced liver disease. In patients without alternative, viable treatment options, cardiac monitoring is recommended. Patients should seek immediate medical evaluation if they develop signs or symptoms of bradycardia.

• Risk of Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to P-gp Inducers: Rifampin and St. John’s wort are not recommended for use with HARVONI as they may significantly decrease ledipasvir and sofosbuvir plasma concentrations.

Adverse Reactions

Most common adverse reactions (≥10%, all grades) were fatigue, headache, and asthenia.

The HCV-TARGET study was supported by Gilead Sciences, Inc. Real-world experience data were derived from patient medical records. Such data are longitudinal and observational in nature, and are not based on controlled clinical studies. Results from these cohorts may differ from results seen in the membership of a particular payer.

• In HCV-TARGET, overall SVR12 rates of 96% were achieved in GT 1 adult patients regardless of duration of HARVONI (8, 12, or 24 weeks)

– The overall discontinuation rate in HCV-TARGET was 2.8%

– The most common AEs were fatigue and headache

• Among GT 1 adult patients who may be considered for the HARVONI 8-week regimen, SVR12 rates for those who actually received it were similar to SVR12 rates for those who received HARVONI for 12 weeks instead

• Patients who may be considered for 8 weeks of HARVONI are adults with GT 1 HCV who are treatment- naïve without cirrhosis and have a baseline HCV RNA <6 million IU/mL. In ION-3, relapse rates for HARVONI for 8 weeks were 2% (n = 2/123) in patients with baseline HCV RNA <6 million IU/mL and 10% (n = 9/92) in patients with baseline RNA ≥6 million IU/mL

– HARVONI for 12 weeks is the recommended treatment duration for treatment-naïve patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis. This does not include patients with decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B or C) or liver transplant recipients

– In ION-3, adverse reactions (all grades) reported in ≥5% of patients receiving 8 weeks of treatment with HARVONI were fatigue, headache, and nausea

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Drug Interactions

• In addition to rifampin and St. John’s wort, coadministration of HARVONI is also not recommended with carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifapentine, and tipranavir/ritonavir. Such coadministration is expected to decrease the concentration of ledipasvir and sofosbuvir, reducing the therapeutic effect of HARVONI.

• Coadministration of HARVONI is not recommended with simeprevir due to increased concentrations of ledipasvir and simeprevir. Coadministration is also not recommended with rosuvastatin or co-formulated elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate due to increased concentrations of rosuvastatin and tenofovir, respectively.
