There is a chance GILD could have comparable efficacy [to ABBV/ENTA’s regimen] without ribavirin or with 8 weeks duration…
Thanks for chiming in. Just to be clear: Of GILD’s three phase-3 trials for the all-oral NDA in GT1, only the ION-3 trial is testing an 8-week treatment duration, and ION-3 is restricted to treatment-naïve patents without cirrhosis.
From Pearl I (450+267) we know that the SVR12 for GT1b naive is 95%. From Sapphire I (450+267+333+Rib) we know that the SVR12 for GT1b naive is 98%. Therefore the SVR12 for GT1b naive for Pearl III (450+267+333) must be between 95-98%. The figures for GT1b treatment (Pearl II) must be between 90% and 97%. Are this thinking too simple?
