U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved AbbVie’s single-tablet combination regimen Technivie (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir) plus ribavirin to treat genotype 4 of hepatitis C virus among those without cirrhosis. This is the first time the FDA has approved an all-oral, interferon-free treatment for genotype 4.

Technivie comprises one of the two tablets in AbbVie’s Viekira Pak (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir; dasabuvir), which was approved to treat genotype 1 of hep C in December 2014. Paritaprevir is a protease inhibitor, ombitasvir is an NS5A inhibitor ombitasvir and Norvir (ritonavir) is an HIV antiretroviral used to boost body’s levels of the other two drugs.

About 1 percent of Americans with hep C have genotype 4. Its highest prevalence is in the metropolitan areas of Southern California and in the Northeast Corridor.
