Ongoing Real World Study Reports High Sustained Viral Response Rates with VIEKIRAX® (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir tablets) + EXVIERA® (dasabuvir tablets) in Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Patients

- Interim results from the independent AMBER study demonstrated 98 percent (n=39/40) SVR(12) rate in patients who completed a 12- or 24-week treatment regimen and 12 weeks follow-up
- Real world interim data presented at the Viral Hepatitis Congress supports findings from previous HCV genotype 1 Phase 3 clinical trials with VIEKIRAX + EXVIERA
NORTH CHICAGO, Illinois, Sept. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New real world interim data from the independent AMBER study were presented for AbbVie's VIEKIRAX (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir tablets) + EXVIERA (dasabuvir tablets) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in genotype 1 (GT1) chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients. The primary endpoint of the study is the percentage of patients achieving sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12). This study of Polish patients who reached post-treatment at week 12 (n=40 of 186 enrolled to date), demonstrated 98 percent (n=39/40) SVR12.1 These results further help to support the GT1 data shown in AbbVie's Phase 3 clinical trial development program. Interim data from the AMBER study were presented at the Viral Hepatitis Congress in Frankfurt, Germany.
