I guess the VPAK versus Harvoni safety issues that were in fierce pharma has some basis.

ABBV’s PR on V-Pak label change:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/abbvie-updates-u-labels-viekira-222100117.html

In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Product Inserts for VIEKIRA PAK and TECHNIVIE have been updated from 'not recommended in Child Pugh B patients' to a contraindication in patients with Child-Pugh B cirrhosis. Patients classified as Child-Pugh C will remain contraindicated as they have been since approval.

The updated USPI for VIEKIRA PAK also includes a recommendation for physicians to assess evidence of hepatic decompensation prior to treatment and during treatment in cirrhotic patients.

Technivie is ABBV/ENTA’s 2-DAA product for GT4 patients; it is a subset of the constituents in Viekira Pak.
