ObjectiveYimitasvir phosphate, an inhibitor of nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) replication complex of hepatitis C virus (HCV), was evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, multiple-dose study.MethodsTwenty-four patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection were randomized to receive a 7-day course of yimitasvir phosphate at daily doses of 30, 100 or 200 mg or placebo. Antiviral efficacy, resistance profile, pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability were assessed.Key findingsThe maximal reduction in HCV RNA from baseline was 5.17 log(10) IU/ml. However, most patients experienced viral rebound on or before day 3 after yimitasvir treatment was initiated. The PK profile revealed median peak plasma concentrations at 4-12 h postdose and a mean terminal half-life of 14.47-17.09 h, the basis for daily dosing. Steady drug state was achieved following 5 days of daily dosing. The accumulation rate was low (1.29-1.73). There were no significant alterations in vital signs and laboratory findings among all participants.ConclusionsThis study shows that yimitasvir phosphate was well tolerated, and the PK profile supported daily dosing regimens. A 1-week (7-day) treatment course led to a quick and significant reduction in HCV RNA level in this cohort with HCV GT-1 infection.
