Background

Pibrentasvir is a direct acting antiviral agent and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor that targets the the viral RNA replication and viron assembly. In combination with Glecaprevir, pibrentastiv is a useful therapy for patients who experienced therapeutic failure from other NS5A inhibitors. In cell cultures, the emergence of amino acid substitutions at known NS5A inhibitor resistance-associated positions in HCV genotype 1a, 2a or 3a replicons led to reduced susceptibility and resistance to pibrentasvir Label. These resistance-associated amino acid substitutions included Q30D/deletion, Y93D/H/N or H58D +Y93H in genotype 1a replicons, F28S + M31I or P29S + K30G in genotype 2a replicons, and Y93H in genotype 3a replicons. Individual NS5A amino acid substitutions that reduced susceptibility to pibrentasvir include M28G or Q30D in a genotype 1a replicon and P32-deletion in a genotype 1b replicon Label.

Pibrentasvir is available as an oral combination therapy with Glecaprevir under the brand name Mavyret. This fixed-dose combination therapy was FDA-approved in August 2017 to treat adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1-6 without cirrhosis (liver disease) or with mild cirrhosis, including patients with moderate to severe kidney disease and those who are on dialysis 3. Mavyret is also indicated for HCV genotype 1-infected patients who have been previously treated with regimens either containing an NS5A inhibitor or an NS3/4A protease inhibitor, but not both 3. Hepatitis C viral infection often leads to decreased liver function and subsequent liver failure, causing a significantly negative impact on the patients' quality of life. The ultimate goal of the combination treatment is to achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) and cure the patients from the infection. In clinical trials, this combination therapy achieved SVR12 rate, or undetectable Hepatitis C for twelve or more weeks after the end of treatment, of ≥93% across genotypes 1a, 2a, 3a, 4, 5 and 6 Label.

Pharmacology

Indication

Indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A). MAVYRET is also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HCV genotype 1 infection, who previously have been treated with a regimen containing an HCV NS5A inhibitor or an NS3/4A protease inhibitor (PI), but not both Label.

Pharmacodynamics

Pibrentasvir is a pan-genotypic . According to HCV replicon assays, pibrentasvir has EC50 values ranging from 0.08-4.6 nM agaisnt laboratory and clinical isolates from subtypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 4d, 5a, and 6a, or EC50 values of 0.5-4.3 pM against laboratory and clinical isolates from subtypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 4b, 4d, 5a, 6a, 6e and 6p Label. It is active against common resistance-conferring substitutions in HCV genotypes 1 to 6 that confers resistance and decreased therapeutic response from other NS5A inhibitors, inluding positions 24, 28, 30, 31, 58, 92, or 93 in NS5A Label,1. In a QT study, pibrentasvir is not shown to prolong the QTc interval.

Mechanism of action

NS5A is a phosphoprotein that plays an essential role in replication, assembly and maturation of infectious viral proteins. The basal phosphorylated form of NS5A, which is maintained by C-terminal serine cluster, is key in ensuring its interaction with the viral capsid protein, or the core protein. By blocking this interaction, pibrentasvir inhibits the assembly of proteins and production of mature HCV particles 2. NS5A also interacts with viral and cellular proteins to form the HCV replicase complex, and supports the RNA replication of HCV 1.

Absorption

In healthy subjects, the time it takes to reach the peak plasma concentration (Tmax) is approximately 5 hours. The mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is 110ng/mL in non-cirrhotic HCV-infected subjects. Relative to fasting conditions, the consumption of meals increases the absorption of pibrentasvir by 40-53% Label.

Volume of distribution

Protein binding

Pibrentasvir is >99.9% bound to human plasma proteins. The Blood-to-plasma ratio is approximately 0.62 Label.

Metabolism

Route of elimination

The predominant route of elimination of the drug is biliary-fecal, where 96.6% of administered drug is excreted in feces and 0% of the drug is excreted in the urine Label.

Half-life

The elimination half life (t1/2) is approximately 13 hours Label.
