- 98 percent of previously untreated genotype 1b (GT1b) chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients without cirrhosis achieved SVR12 in Phase 3b GARNET study1
- First study evaluating 8 weeks of VIEKIRAX (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir tablets) + EXVIERA (dasabuvir tablets)1
- GT1b is the most common subtype globally,2 accounting for 47 percent of the nine million people infected with chronic HCV in Europe alone3,4
- GARNET study results on 8-week treatment duration included in newly published 'EASL Recommendations on Treatment of Hepatitis C'

new data showing high response rates with just eight weeks of VIEKIRAX® (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir tablets) + EXVIERA® (dasabuvir tablets) treatment. In the Phase 3b GARNET study, 98 percent (n=160/163) of previously untreated patients with genotype 1b (GT1b) chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection without cirrhosis achieved sustained virologic response rates at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12).1 These data were presented today at the 2016 EASL Special Conference: New Perspectives in Hepatitis C Virus Infection – The Roadmap for Cure, in Paris, France and included in the newly published 'EASL Recommendations on Treatment of Hepatitis C.' VIEKIRAX + EXVIERA is currently approved in the European Union for GT1b patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis for 12 weeks.
