Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir/Ritonavir (Technivie )
Ombitasvir, paritaprevir/ritonavir (Technivie®) National Abbreviated Review Drug Monograph December 2015 VA Pharmacy Benefits Management Services, Medical Advisory Panel, VISN Pharmacist Executives and Office of Public Health The purpose of VA PBM Services drug monographs is to provide a comprehensive drug review for making formulary decisions. Updates will be made when new clinical data warrant additional formulary discussion. Documents will be placed in the Archive section when the information is deemed to be no longer current. FDA Approval Information1 Description/ Technivie is a fixed-dose combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir. Mechanism of Action Ritonavir does not have activity against Hepatitis C virus (HCV); it is included in the regimen as a pharmacokinetic enhancer (i.e. increase concentration of paritaprevir). The other two agents are direct-acting antivirals with different mechanisms of action. Ombitasvir is a NS5A inhibitor and paritaprevir is a NS3/4A protease inhibitor. Indication(s) under Review in Fixed-dose combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir and ritonavir with ribavirin this document is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 infections in adults without cirrhosis. NOTE: Per prescribing information, this combination may be administered without ribavirin in treatment-naïve patients who cannot tolerate ribavirin Dosage Form(s) Under Ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir 12.5/75/50mg tablet Review REMS NO REMS Pregnancy Rating Pregnancy Category B; however, when ribavirin is co-administered, then regimen is contraindicated in pregnant women and in men whose female partners are pregnant. Executive Summary1-2 Efficacy The FDA approval of ombitasvir, paritaprevir and ritonavir with ribavirin was primarily based on one phase 2b randomized, open-label, multi-center trial (called PEARL-1). -

Technivie™ (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir) and Viekira XR™ (dasabuvir/ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir) – Product discontinuations • On May 22, 2018, the FDA announced the discontinuation of AbbVie’s Technivie (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir) and Viekira XR (dasabuvir/ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir). — Both product discontinuations are voluntary and due to changes in treatment practices in the current chronic HCV market in the U.S. and are not related to quality, safety or efficacy issues. • Viekira Pak™ (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir with dasabuvir) will continue to be available due to reliance by countries outside the U.S. on FDA approval to support post-approval change to the label. However, Viekira Pak will not be promoted. • Viekira XR and Viekira Pak are indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV): — Genotype 1b infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis — Genotype 1a infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis for use in combination with ribavirin. — Viekira XR is a 4-drug fixed-dose combination, extended-release tablet containing dasabuvir 200 mg, ombitasvir 8.33 mg, paritaprevir 50 mg and ritonavir 33.33 mg that is dosed once daily. — Viekira Pak is a 3-drug fixed dose combination tablet containing ombitasvir 12.5 mg, paritaprevir 75 mg and ritonavir 50 mg copackaged with dasabuvir 250 mg tablets. The combination tablet is taken once daily and the dasabuvir tablet is taken twice daily. • Technivie is indicated in combination with ribavirin for the treatment of patients with genotype 4 chronic HCV infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis. • Until January 1, 2019, supply of Technivie and Viekira XR will be available for all patients who begin therapy prior to July 1, 2018 to ensure that they are able to complete their course of prescribed therapy. -

Hepatitis C Antivirals and Combinations, Direct Acting
Therapeutic Class Overview Direct Acting Hepatitis C Antivirals and Combinations Overview/Summary: The direct acting hepatitis C antiviral and combination products are all Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; although, differences in indications exist relating to use in specific genotypes, with certain combination therapies and other patient factors.1-5 HCV is an enveloped ribonucleic acid virus that is transmitted through exposure with infected blood and is the most common bloodborne infection in the United States, with an estimated prevalence of 3.2 million people chronically infected. Chronic HCV develops in 70 to 85% of HCV-infected persons and is associated with significant morbidity (e.g., cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]) and is the leading cause of liver transplantation.7,8 The average annual incidence rate of HCC in the U.S. between 2001 and 2006 was 3.0 per 100,000 people, with 48% to cases attributed to HCV.9 These agents act via several different mechanisms of action and include inhibition of non-structural (NS) 3/4A protease, NS5B polymerase and HCV NS5A.1-6 The hepatitis C protease inhibitors boceprevir (Victrelis®) and simeprevir (Olysio®) both work via inhibition of the HCV NS3/4A protease of HCV genotype 1a and 1b thus preventing replication of HCV host cells.1-2 Similarly, sofosbuvir (Sovaldi®) inhibits HCV NS5B polymerase which also prevents the replication of HCV host cells, however, it is active against multiple genotypes of HCV.3 The two combination products that include direct acting hepatitis C antivirals include ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (Harvoni®) and a 4-drug regimen of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir & dasabuvir (Viekira Pak®).
