Adherence to assigned dosing regimen and sustained virological response among chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 patients treated with boceprevir plus peginterferon alfa-2b/ribavirin

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Adherence to therapeutic regimens affects the efficacy of peginterferon alfa (P) and ribavirin (R) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1. AIM: To determine if medication adherence impacts efficacy [sustained virological response (SVR)] with triple therapy that includes boceprevir (BOC) plus P/R. METHODS: Adherence was determined in two Phase 3 clinical studies with BOC: SPRINT-2 (previously untreated patients) and RESPOND-2 (patients who failed previous therapy with P/R). Adherence to the assigned duration of the dosing regimen and adherence to the three times a day (t.d.s.) dosing interval of 7-9 h for BOC were assessed by the recording of data from patients' dosing diaries and by the amount of study drug dispensed and returned. RESULTS: Most patients (63-71%) adhered to ≥80% of their assigned treatment duration and achieved SVR rates of 86-90%. In contrast, patients who adhered to <80% of their assigned treatment duration achieved SVR rates of 8-32% (P < 0.0001), particularly low in patients who failed previous therapy (SVR = 8-15%). Different rates of adherence (<60% to >80%) to the t.d.s. dosing interval (7-9 h) with BOC did not influence the SVR rates (SVR = 60-83%) with the exception of patients who failed previous treatment and adhered to <60% of the t.d.s. dosing interval with BOC (SVR = 48-50%; P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: The achievement of an SVR is more dependent on adherence to the assigned duration of treatment than adherence to the t.d.s. dosing interval with boceprevir. Adherence to >60% of t.d.s. dosing with boceprevir is important in patients who failed previous therapy.
