Telaprevir: pharmacokinetics and drug interactions.
Telaprevir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4A protease. When used in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, telaprevir has demonstrated a substantial increase in sustained virological response compared with pegylated interferon and ribavirin used alone. Telaprevir has good oral bioavailability, which is enhanced when administered with food. Telaprevir is extensively metabolized and...
متن کاملManaging Drug-Drug Interactions With Boceprevir and Telaprevir
The treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection has been revolutionized by the introduction of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents (boceprevir and telaprevir) in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin. Although improved antiviral efficacy and shorter durations of therapy are anticipated, there are also potentially severe drug-drug interactions involving protease inh...
متن کاملEffects on anemia of drug adjustment in patients with chronic hepatitis C during telaprevir-combined therapy.
AIM Anemia is the most common adverse event in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) treated with telaprevir (TVR) combined triple therapy. We examined the effects of drug dose adjustment on anemia and a sustained viral response (SVR) during combination therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study enrolled 62 patients treated with TVR (2,250 mg) for 12 weeks plus pegylated interferon-alph...

As the first ever HCV protease inhibitor in phase III develo...
متن کاملTherapeutic drug monitoring of telaprevir in chronic hepatitis C patients receiving telaprevir-based triple therapy is useful for predicting virological response.
OBJECTIVES This prospective, pharmacokinetic study was done to investigate the impact of telaprevir plasma trough concentration (Ctrough) in the early stage of treatment on the response to telaprevir-based triple therapy for chronic hepatitis C patients. METHODS Participants were 70 chronic hepatitis C patients infected with genotype 1. All patients received 12 week triple therapy that includ...
