Mavyret Clinical Trial
« on: September 16, 2017, 07:33:54 am »
I've relapsed following 12 weeks of Harvoni and, prior to that, relapsed following 12 weeks of Sovaldi/Interferon/Ribavirin.

I now have the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial with 12 weeks of Mavyret. My concern is that the FDA-approved treatment for NS5A inhibitor-experienced patients (me) is 16 weeks of Mavyret. In previous trials, the success rate advertised for NS5A-experienced patients with a 16-week treatment is approximately 94%. The company does not have available data for 12-week treatments of the same population. My concern is that if the 12-week treatment (presumably sub-optimal) is unsuccessful, the treatment may do more harm than good. My insurance company currently does not cover  treatment with Mavyret. Any advice?

Can you get approved for Vosevi? It worked for me after relapsing after 24 weeks on Harvoni and prior to that 24 week clinical trial of 2 other DAAs.
Probably infected 1969. Diagnosed 2006. Genotype 1b.
Daclatasvir/ Asunaprevir 2013:relapse
Harvoni 24 weeks 2015:relapse
sofosbuvir, velpatisvir, voxillaprevir  trial started on drug 7/16. Viral load 890,000 approx. F2. Undetected after week 1.
12 week SVR achieved Jan 2017.
SVR 24 achieved April 2017 !

60 weeks post treatment...UNDETECTED!

Thanks northfork!

Great news that you were cured earlier this year. Congratulations!

My insurance covers neither Mavyret nor Vocevi. I may just have to wait.

I've been told that in about a year's time a generic mavyret will be available. Maybe wait then take it with another DAA and ribavarin which are also available in generic form. Lots cheaper and do 3 months as you said. Could be your last chance to knock it on the head

Thanks PCTree!

I actually got approved for 12 weeks of Vosevi. Just finished the regimen and waiting for blood work in April.

 I was diagnosed with Hep c back in 2004 viral load 1,519,000 as of last week. I tried to get the insurance company to pay for Harvoni, they denied me then the doctor wrote a script for Mavyret and the insurance company denied me twice.  I contacted mavyret directly and asked for the paperwork for the patient assistance program I just got approved for the medication 2 weeks ago at at mo cost. I recommend that you call them directly and ask about that program.  Honestly I am truly blessed that they’re willing to pay for it when no one else would help me .
