Gilead Sciences announced topline results from the Phase 3 FUSION study evaluating 12- and 16-week courses of therapy with the once-daily nucleotide sofosbuvir plus ribavirin in treatment-experienced patients with genotype 2 or 3 chronic hepatitis C virus infection who failed prior treatment. The study met its primary efficacy endpoint of superiority compared to a predefined historic control sustained virologic response rate of 25%. In FUSION, 50% of patients in the 12-week arm and 73% of patients in the 16-week arm achieved SVR12. “This study demonstrates that all-oral therapy with sofosbuvir provides significant efficacy among difficult-to-treat hepatitis C patients who could not be cured by prior regimens containing pegylated interferon and now have limited treatment options,” said Norbert Bischofberger, PhD, Executive Vice President of Research and Development and Chief Scientific Officer. “With positive results from all four Phase 3 trials now in hand, Gilead is on track to meet its goal of filing regulatory applications in the United States and Europe in the second quarter.” | |
