• Errors during replication:• frequent
• spontaneous
• at random positions
• Lack of “proofreading” activity
=> Accumulation of genomic mutations
=> Selection

Mutant Selection
• At the level of populations of infected
individuals:
• Genotypes and subtypes
• At the level of an infected individual:
• Viral quasispecies

Sofosbuvir ResistanceFDA analysis of NGS data
• Post-hoc analysis of NGS data from FISSION, FUSION, POSITRON,
NEUTRINO, and pretransplant study:
• 982 subjects treated by SOF/RBV or SOF/RBV/PEG
• 224 failed treatment
Selection of 3 substitutions of interest
• L159F (n=12)
• V321A (n=5)

Triple Combination Failures are Associated
with the Selection of DAA-Resistant Variants
• Protease inhibitor-containing treatment failures
in Phase III trials:
• Boceprevir: 53% have dominant resistant virus
• Telaprevir: 77% have dominant resistant virus
• Simeprevir: >90% have dominant resistant virus

Summary
• Triple combination treatment failures are the result of
poor IFN responsiveness, which is patient-dependent
• Pre-existing resistant variants may influence the
outcome of triple combination treatment (Q80K with
simeprevir).
• Triple combination failures (telaprevir, boceprevir,
simeprevir,…) are associated with the selection of
DAA-resistant viruses
• Protease inhibitor-resistant viruses are progressively
replaced by wild-type viruses after treatment failure
![Page 46: Pawlotzky du hepatites-resistance](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a4e4411a28ab4b748b4601/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• In contrast with viruses resistant to protease inhibitors,
NS5A inhibitor-resistant viruses appear to persist for
years, maybe forever, after treatment failure (no data in
combination with PegIFNa and ribavirin)
• No resistant viruses are selected by the triple
combination of PegIFNa, ribavirin and sofosbuvir due
to the high barrier to resistance of sofosbuvir

Questions
• Does the presence of pre-existing resistance
substitutions at treatment initiation impact SVR with
IFN-free regimens?
• Is resistance going to be observed in patients receiving
IFN-free regimens who fail on treatment (breakthrough)
or after treatment (relapse)?
• How long will resistant viruses persist after treatment,
and will this impair retreatment?

Summary
• The detection of pre-existing resistance-associated
variants at baseline may be associated with a very
modest (if any) reduction in SVR rates with some
IFN-free regimens
• The SVR rates remain very high in patients
harboring such variants, the presence of which
does not contra-indicate therapy with the given
regimen

Questions
• Does the presence of pre-existing resistance
substitutions at treatment initiation impact SVR with
IFN-free regimens?
• Is resistance going to be observed in patients receiving
IFN-free regimens who fail on treatment (breakthrough)
or after treatment (relapse)?
• How long will resistant viruses persist after treatment,
and will this impair retreatment?

• Of the 23 patients who had a relapse, 15
had NS5A RAVs at the time of relapse
• Of the 15 with NS5A RAVs, 9 had the
variants detectable at baseline, whereas 6
did not.
• No patient selected the S282T substitution

Summary
• The majority of patients receiving an IFN-free
regimen will achieve an SVR
• However, 5 to 10% of patients in clinical trials,
possibly more in real-life, fail to achieve an SVR
• At the time of breakthrough or relapse, these
patients harbor viruses that are resistant to one or
more of the DAA administered (protease inhibitor,
NS5A inhibitor, non-nucleoside inhibitor of RdRp)

Summary
• NS3 protease inhibitor-resistant viruses disappear
by population sequencing within 18 months on
average in patients who failed to achieve an SVR
• The time needed to clear variants that are
resistant to NS5A inhibitors or non-nucleoside
inhibitors of the HCV polymerase is unknown
• Whether persistence of such variants as dominant
species after treatment impacts retreatment
strategies is unknown

Clinical Utility of HCV

Resistance Testing Methods
• No commercially available assays yet
• In-house population sequencing of NS3
protease, NS5A and polymerase regions
• Potential interest of ultra-deep
pyrosequecing
![Page 67: Pawlotzky du hepatites-resistance](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a4e4411a28ab4b748b4601/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
HCV Resistance Testing-1
• Given the very high SVR rates with IFN-
free regimens, systematic pretreatment
resistance testing in treatment-naïve
patients or in patients who failed
PegIFNa-ribavirin therapy should not be
performed
![Page 68: Pawlotzky du hepatites-resistance](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a4e4411a28ab4b748b4601/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
HCV Resistance Testing-2
• Resistance testing at treatment failure is
not recommended, because most of these
patients harbor viruses that are resistant
to one or more of the administered DAAs
![Page 69: Pawlotzky du hepatites-resistance](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a4e4411a28ab4b748b4601/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
HCV Resistance Testing-3
• Resistance testing could be considered
at retreatment of patients who failed
DAA-containing regimens, provided that
data is generated to inform treatment
decisions based on the results of
resistance testing
