Additional Information
Merck’s broad clinical trial program supporting the efficacy of ZEPATIER included six studies in 1,373 patients with chronic HCV GT1 or GT4 infection. These studies assessed the rate of sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the completion of treatment with ZEPATIER (SVR12). The clinical development program for ZEPATIER enrolled diverse groups of HCV GT1- and GT4-infected patients, including treatment-naïve patients and those who had failed prior therapy with peginterferon alfa (PegIFN) and RBV, as well as patients suffering with meaningful co-morbidities and health complications, such as compensated cirrhosis and HIV-1 co-infection. GT1-infected patients with severe renal impairment on hemodialysis and those who previously failed therapy with PegIFN and RBV in combination with an HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor (boceprevir, simeprevir or telaprevir) also were studied.
