Author Topic: After tx (POST) 4wk or 12 wk SVR results (Harvoni only) - CHECK IN HERE PLEASE! (Read 755907 times)

charly8 · « **on:** April 29, 2015, 12:08:19 pm »

Now that a lot of people are coming off treatment, we need a tally of peoples status.

NOTE: Please post only if you have results from post EOT tests SVR 4wk thru SVR 12wk after EOT.

Please list only SVR4 or SVR 12 status. No results on tx or at EOT because most are undetected then anyways.

Please list the following: (copy and paste into your post as I have done below to keep this thread clean)
1. 4wk - 12 wk EOT VL status
2. Treatment duration
3. tx naive or experienced
4. Genotype (1a or 1b)
5. F1-F4 fibrosis status (date)
6. Initial VL (date)

Current Status
So far we have 15 people that hit at least the SVR4 mark. 3 of 15 have relapsed. (20%)

Breakdown by treatments
8 weeks of tx - 2 of 3 have relapsed
12 weeks of tx- 1 of 12 have relapsed

Note: We currently have a 20% relapse rate. This is with very limited data and certainly not scientific. Even still this does not seem to correspond to the 95% SVR rate that Gilead has boasted in their studies. Lets hope we get some more SVR'S

8 weeks of Harvoni. Undetected at 4 and 8 weeks. Treatment naive. Genotype 1a. No fibrosis. Initial viral load 3.5 million. I am now waiting 3 months for first post treatment blood work. So far, so good. Good luck to all.

Well this is as good a place as any to throw my hat in the ring! I've known for quite a while that I relapsed, but didn't want it to be my first post here and didn't want to be the first to post about a relapse! So here goes! Teri

1. 12 week treatment Harvoni
2. Treatment naive
3. Genotype 1a
4. Fibrosis F2-F3 Nov. 2014
5. Last pill Feb. 3rd, 3 wks. post treatment viral load 414,111
6. Initial viral load 2.56 million Nov. 2014

I seriously doubt I got those in the proper order, sorry! I have an appointment with the Texas Liver Institute next month, I guess one of the Doctors there just spoke at the Liver Conference, so I feel like I've hit the Big Time!

I am holding out great hope for everyone here and wish every one of you the best!

Hello all, just received my 12 week EOT and came back undetected and all other numbers are great. I am a two time non responder, did mono therapy in 2000 and then in 2004 did peg- intro and ribavarin and had to stop tx at 48 weeks due to side effects. Started Harvoni on Nov. 5th and finished on Jan. 28 th. Vitals, 1a, F- 1, 6 mill. viral load at start of tx. Did 12 week tx and was undetected at 4 and 12 week tests. I am now free at last of this dreaded disease.

Thanks for doing this Charly. This is really good information! For the newbies, I do think the EOT test results would be beneficial so they can see that strong responders who test Detected can still clear. This is something where Harvoni is different than the previous treatments and is a new finding just recently published. My doctor wasn't even aware of it. It sure would have helped me out when I got my EOT results as DETECTED. It could be they will start to eliminate EOT tests altogether, but I don't think that is the case at this time.

Just my opinion and thanks again for taking the time doing this!

Considering GT 1a had a very low cure rate and horrible treatment in the past, Harvoni is a major breakthrough and is working wonders. Keep in mind, very few people are 8 -12-24 weeks post treatment so the data isn't in.

Have you called Gilead to see if they could assist you with the cost. It seems they are helping many without insurance coverage.

Good luck to you, no matter what your decision. We all have to do what is best for us, but please consider the alternative of severe liver disease. Give Gilead a call!

There are probably quite a few just waiting for post treatment tests, and then there are those who once finished will just drop off the forum. It might be good to post on other threads to let them know this survey is being done. I happened upon it accidentally. It can be difficult to find a new thread.

Congratulations Lynn!!! We will all be waiting with you and sending good wishes for a complete cure!

mario555 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 04, 2015, 02:30:43 pm »

Good luck Lynn K. We'll be riding the 12 weeks wait together I guess?
My doctor just called me and wanted to have a VL done asap. I wonder why because if I was UND after 4 weeks, why would he expect anything else than UND at EOT? I only had one VL at week 4 during the last 24 weeks. As much as I know, you don't go back up once you clear the virus? Anyway, I'll post again with my results later on..

Lynn K · « **Reply #22 on:** May 04, 2015, 07:07:20 pm »

Thanks for your well wishes I guess I can officially board the waiting train.

I am going to ask about getting a 4 week test since it is said to be about 98.5% probable SVR by then. And the the wait for the big 12 week test.

Mario I wouldn't worry too much he is probably just getting data they just want to see the EOT test. I wanted to trade the EOT for a 4 week post and they said we will just do both

I cant modify my posts, but here is the current status:

Current Status
So far we have 16 people that hit at least the SVR4 mark. 4 of 16 have relapsed. (25%)

Breakdown by treatments
8 weeks of tx - 3 of 4 have relapsed
12 weeks of tx- 1 of 12 have relapsed

Note: We currently have a 25% relapse rate. This is with very limited data and certainly not scientific. Even still this does not seem to correspond to the 95% SVR rate that Gilead has boasted in their studies. Lets hope we get some more SVR'S. We will need the next 64 people to report Undetected to get back to 95% SVR rates.

mario555 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 05, 2015, 08:31:28 am »

These results strengthen my opinion that 8 weeks should be offered only in limited cases and not arbitrarily or following a strict set of rules. I really am sorry to hear the bad news for those 4 relapses.

After 24 weeks treatment, I still have light upper quadrant pain so I don't think it's virus related given the fact I had cleared the virus after 4 weeks! I also still have tinnitus and a kind of vertigo. One good news is that 1 week after the end of my treatment, I am starting to feel like my old self (get up and go, mood, etc). I am now watching the group to see how things are working out for everyone. Thanks again Charly for your implication. We all appreciate it (even my doctor)!

Cmon all you 8-weekers. Give us some good SVR4 and later results! We cant let this 75% 8 wk failure stat stand... Im sure as more 8 weekers complete treatment, those failure stats will go WAY down.. They'd better!!!!! I hope that some national level relapse data comes out soon so we can get a true picture of whats happening with Harvoni in the real world.

Hi Charly, I just wanted to weigh in, after seeing my new Doc, who from here on out will be referred to as Dr. Awesome! He doesn't think that my treatment period was long enough, he doesn't think prior Doc made a proper assessment! I thought I had a fibroscan, I didn't, had some kind of weird ultrasound! No IL28B testing! Since I have a fatty liver and weigh more than I should, he would have done 24 wks. So there's that! Sounds more like Doctor failure to me than medication failure! I should be in their DAA failure study in August! So good news!

Before I commenced treatment, I asked my doctor if we needed to factor my unfavorable IL28B status, and he told me they dont check that in conjunction with Harvoni.. Apparently, its correlation is statistically insignificant.

Lynn K · « **Reply #31 on:** May 05, 2015, 10:28:15 pm »

Are you sure it wasn't a fibroscan? That would be exactly how I would describe a fibroscan as a kind of weird ultrasound. With a thumping action. Otherwise I have no idea what test that would have been.

Have you see this info?

terih · « **Reply #32 on:** May 06, 2015, 10:55:19 am »

@ Dragonslayer, The reason the new Doc gave for having that test done, is that it measures how strong your immune system is, the stronger your immune system, the better your chance of SVR! Maybe since I have an auto immune illness, that factored into my relapse.

@ Lynn, That is one of the Docs where I'm doing my next treatment! They are HepC warriors! I really think my new Doc wants me on a newer and better combo, hence the trial in August. I truly feel like I have managed to stumble into something very good!

I have no idea what the other test I had is called, but I have a scan coming up on June 1st, so I will let you know how they compare!

mario555 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 06, 2015, 03:41:36 pm »

Terih. I have read extensively on the development of cures and as much as I know, Harvoni doesn't really need your immune system to work contrary to the old Interferon which boosted your immune system in order to destroy the disease through you! Harvoni is more like a little glued cap that will attach itself to the virus 'legs'. When the little legs are capped, the virus can't grab itself to new liver cells and can't reproduce.
It is sure that if your immune system is compromised, other considerations might be assessed for your specific treatment. Good luck with your future treatment, my prayers are with you!

Mario, I have a comment about the immune system, it seems reasonable to assume ...

IF the immune system was working as designed it would rid the hepc virus or any Virus on its own, like some people are able to do without anti viral drugs..

So, with that logic, isn't it reasonable to assume the Immune system is not working to the full extent...
Or to put it another way, Is Compromised?

mario555 · « **Reply #46 on:** May 09, 2015, 11:41:17 am »

I agree that most people clear the virus on their own when first infected. The ones not clearing it are often infected massively and the immune system is overwhelmed such as in a blood transfusion. Or in my case, repeated attacks through injections.
Even if your immune system was 100 times more powerful (interferon treatment), the virus attacks are too strong to be beat!
Harvoni doesn't use your immune system, it attacks the virus directly in screwing up its capacity to reproduce. This is why 2 DAA's (direct acting agent) are better than one because it 'hits' the virus two ways. With Inf-riba, you had only 1 DAA and it was "non-specific". With Harvoni, you have Sovaldi + Ledipasvir.
New novel ways to beat the virus are coming out using 3 DAA's or other ways. A wait of 1 extra year will offer many new ways to get rid of the virus. This is why I suggest to people who are less in a hurry to wait!

terih · « **Reply #47 on:** May 09, 2015, 12:27:34 pm »

Good morning Mario, I've thought on this a lot, what came to me is this....You know how some people have a low viral load at end of treatment, and their immune system takes care of it, maybe mine just couldn't do that! That is what makes the most sense to me about why it is important to have a good immune system with these drugs. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think? I do have an autoimmune disease, but never thought it would factor into this treatment. Hope you are doing well!

@Mario---thanks so much for that excellent explanation of how Harvoni works...although I don't have a compromised immune system, per se, I was sick with cold viruses/sinusitis for the entirety of my treatment. But the Harvoni got me undetected by week 4 of 12. Waiting EOT 4 weeks VL on the 18th.

It's this waiting period--while I"m still recovering from the colds that I'm most concerned. That my immune system is too busy fighting too many viruses---unless the Harvoni indeed killed every hcv.

Teri, my understanding about the people who are very low detected at EOT have so called impotent viruses. Fragments of hcv that are unable to replicate but the machine picks them up anyway.

I'm hoping that harvoni eradicated it by EOT!
Best luck to all of us!

Yay! I was just recently thinking about you. Congratulations! What a wonderful feeling it must be.....

I'm having my 4 week EOT labs next Monday. I'm beginning to get nervous. Seeing your results makes me feel better. Deep breaths.

Enjoy your life without HCV! PS: since you've had it all your life, are you experiences any changes in your body. Things that you thought were just random symptoms/problems beginning to resolve themselves?

All the best, Meg

Thanks for the kind words!! Fingers crossed for you aswell! I didn't really have any symptoms of hep c except for fatigue! As of now I have less of that and the kids aren't draining me as much. My hair is growing faster? It grew quickly before but now even more? Lol my hairstylist I'm sure is enjoying that! Other than that nothing different. My skin is still horrible but I get that from my fathers side of the family so bummer lol

Hope you're doing well, I can't wait to hear your results

1) 4wk EOT - RELAPSE - 510000 VL detected - was UND at 4wk and 12wks during Tx
2) 12wks Tx - start 1-8-15
3) Tx naive
4) 1b
5) Fibrosure F2-F4 - Dec. 2014
6) 6.5m VL - Dec. 2014
7) Blood trans 2 hosp '80
F - age 64

Hi all, Congrats on all the UND's. I re-tested 4 days after 4wk EOT VL and got 440000 VL. I've been on a strict diet and supplement protocol based on food sensitivities and nutritional needs as advised by my orthomolecular immunologist these last 24yrs. I have done meditation and yoga nearly all my life as well. Since 2wks post EOT I have felt better than I have in decades, working out daily at the gym and able to bike 3mi a day and even am able to do intensive strength training now as well. I feel better in every way. LFT's, Lipid profile, Metab. profile, Prothombin time, and ultrasound are all normal. It makes so little sense that I'm detected at this time. Any thoughts are appreciated. Keeping the faith here.

Bob, Katie and Deb,

Thanks. I really appreciate. I have been away from this forum for a while for the past few months.

Now to Katie: I have been very lucky, during and post Harvoni treatment. They were uneventful. Since I am 77 years of age my doctor opted for the 12 week treatment instead of 8 as may have been warranted by other factors. I had a heart attack in 1987 with HEP C infused blood transfusion. I have been running 2 miles every other day and every other day I visit Gym to work the machines to keep my blood flowing especially as I get older. I have been doing this for several years. I also do breathing exercise and Yoga and meditation. This may have helped. During treatment I did shoulder stand so that my legs were up and moving like scissors just so the Harvoni got a good circulation in my legs. I am not saying this worked or not but I did not want leave anything to chance. I have to go for fibroscan in February 2016 to monitor the status of my liver. Thanks for your concern and you have a wonderful summer. Will be in touch. Anand

Sorry about your HepC lab result. Sounds like your doing all the right things health wise and have some good people working with you. Have you given any thought to re treatment?

We have a poll of some kind. You are supposed to report your post treatment results in 4-8-12 weeks UND or with relapse. One of us is keeping track of our results. Until recently, stated results of 95% cures are not matching real life results. It is extremely interesting to follow!

Current Status
We have 22 people that hit at least the SVR4 mark. 6 of 22 have relapsed. (27.3%)

Breakdown by treatments
8 weeks of tx - 3 of 5 have relapsed (60%)
12 weeks of tx- 3 of 17 have relapsed (18%)

Note: We currently have a 27.3% relapse rate. This is with very limited data and certainly not scientific. Even still this does not seem to correspond to the 95% SVR rate that Gilead has boasted in their studies. Lets hope we get some more SVR'S. We will need the next 98 people to report Undetected to get back to 95% SVR rates.

I am happy to inform you that the hepatitis C virus is no longer detectable, which is certainly reassuring given the fact that it was still detectable at a low level when last checked.
Although this is great news, we will need to check again in about 6 weeks to be sure that the virus remains undetectable.
If the virus level is still negative at that time, 12 weeks or more after finishing treatment, this indicates that the hepatitis C has been cured.

I was disappointed when my first test result came back and showed I had not cleared it but this last one made me feel a whole lot better.

You cannot extrapolate from these reported results.

First, not everyone is posting results on this thread.

Second, those who fail treatment may be more inclined to report these numbers on this thread.

Third, being detected with a minimal viral load at the SVR4 mark does not mean the person will not achieve a SVR12 mark (a few viruses maybe present - but neutered and unable to replicate).

Fourth, a 57% failure rate with 8 weeks of Harvoni is clearly inaccurate, as is an overall failure rate of 29.1%. The numbers are simply specious.

Mike,

I agree with your points, and I clearly state that it is not scientific.

I am just reporting the facts of the relapse rates "as reported" on these boards to the best of the information available. The reader has to interpret these results for themselves.

Your point number 3 needs distinction though. There are definitely people that remain detected at very low levels <15 u/ml that go on to SVR. And these people are not included as relapses. (i.e. Katie and Dragonslayer and others)

But the results when people are in the 500,000 vl range (as stated on this board) are clearly relapses.

charly8 · « **Reply #95 on:** May 19, 2015, 03:58:42 pm »

Also, I was hoping that there would be some more official real world data as to the relapse rates for Harvoni, I have searched but not found anything online. Only the FDA phase studies and NDA filing data.

If anybody knows of said real world data please provide a link, I was hoping that there would be some EASL literature but sadly not found anything. According to Gilead's earnings report there are approximately 70,000 USA & 20,000 EU patients coming off treatment and some more official data would be helpful for the prescribing doctors and patients.

Mike · « **Reply #96 on:** May 19, 2015, 05:18:10 pm »

The real world numbers should closely mirror the clinical numbers, which are 90%+ cure rates.

This is because the efficacy (cure) rates have been statistically validated (confirmed) during phase I-III clinical trials. Because of this, and the research methods used, there should be little, if any statistical variance or deviation from the clinical results and the real world results.

What needs to be studied, however, is the long-term effects of taking Harvoni and it's effectiveness on sub-populations not included in the clinical trials (which is the purpose of phase IV research).

Thus:

Phase I: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.

Phase II: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to DETERMINE IF IT IS EFFECTIVE and to further evaluate its safety.

Phase III: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people TO CONFIRM ITS EFFECTIVENESS, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.

Phase IV: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Because of the research methods used to study the efficacy Harvoni on the populations studied, we can conclude with a high degree of medical and statistical certainty that the clinical results will be reflected in the real world numbers.

Best wishes, Mike

Hi Mike, I agree but it is interesting to see how our fellow warriors are doing since we have communicated for so long and struggled together through our hopes and fears.

One thing I am becoming concerned about, are the issues folks are dealing with after they finish their treatments; many having symptoms which they have never experienced before. I am lucky as I am doing fairly well, did great with Harvoni and then lost my endurance and energy afterwards with a couple days of severe vertigo. This past week I feel improvements daily so am not concerned for myself, however some are having serious health related issues. I would like your views on this and wonder how the follow up on long term post treatment consequences are being tracked? I would think they would need to know what is being experienced.

As always, thanks for your input and support.

Katie

I think the main point of doing this compilation of results (thank you Charlie8) is to provide us with a bit of homemade feedback! Also as Katie states, knowing fellow warriors tribulations.
My personal opinion is that real world numbers will be lower than the study results. The reason is that during the studies, patients are 'somewhat' hand-picked, are better followed and have been tested up to 12 weeks afterwards.
In real life you get a mix of under prescribed people, lack of adherence and God forbids, you might have a relapse at week 13.
The company wants to put its best face forward and will underpublicise its negative press.
As a conclusion, this medication is great looking at the success for many of us. Unfortunately, relapses will end up being twice as advertised (my guess)

Important -- I spoke with a person at Gilead Sciences today, as I wanted to ask what data was being compiled POST TREATMENT, for how long, by whom, and when such would be made available to the public. I was told they are not required by the FDA to compile data post market ...... but they of course do want to know of any relapses or other side effects as more and more patients finish their treatment. I was told doctors, or even more often, PATIENTS, usually will contact them re: relapses or serious events, i.e., the bradycardia medication issue that came up in March. I was also told that this person was not aware of any "specific" Phase IV studies, as referenced by Mike earlier on this post, but that trials were certainly still being conducted as could be found on the clinical trials.gov website.

SO -- the bottom line is that both patients and their doctors need to take it upon themselves to contact Gilead with any issues. Although this "poll" Charly8 is doing isn't perfect, this forum is probably the fastest way anyone who's interested is going to get firsthand info on the issues of side effects or relapses.

I called Gilead's Forest City headquarters at 650-574-3000 and spoke to a person in the medical/clinical dept. Hope this helps!! FT
