2.5 Preparation and Administration of Oral Pellets
See the MAVYRET oral pellets full Instructions for Use for details on the preparation and administration.
-
The oral pellets should be taken together, with food, once daily. In addition, the oral pellets for the total daily dose should be sprinkled on a small amount of soft food with a low water content that will stick to a spoon and should be swallowed without chewing (e.g., peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, cream cheese, thick jam, or Greek yogurt).
-
The entire mixture of food and oral pellets should be swallowed within 15 minutes of preparation; the oral pellets should not be crushed or chewed.
- Liquids or foods that would drip or slide off the spoon are not recommended as the drug may dissolve quickly and become less effective.
2.6 Liver or Kidney Transplant Recipients
MAVYRET is recommended for 12 weeks in patients 3 years and older who are liver or kidney transplant recipients. A 16-week treatment duration is recommended in genotype 1-infected patients who are NS5A inhibitor-experienced without prior treatment with an NS3/4A protease inhibitor or in genotype 3-infected patients who are PRS treatment-experienced [see Clinical Studies (14.8)].

- Oral pellets: pink and yellow coated pellets in unit-dose packets. Each packet contains 50 mg glecaprevir and 20 mg pibrentasvir.
4. Contraindications
- MAVYRET is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C) or those with any history of prior hepatic decompensation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
- MAVYRET is contraindicated with atazanavir or rifampin [see Drug Interaction (7.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
5. Warnings and Precautions
5.1 Risk of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation in Patients Coinfected with HCV and HBV
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation has been reported in HCV/HBV coinfected patients who were undergoing or had completed treatment with HCV direct-acting antivirals, and who were not receiving HBV antiviral therapy. Some cases have resulted in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure and death. Cases have been reported in patients who are HBsAg positive and also in patients with serologic evidence of resolved HBV infection (i.e., HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive). HBV reactivation has also been reported in patients receiving certain immunosuppressant or chemotherapeutic agents; the risk of HBV reactivation associated with treatment with HCV direct-acting antivirals may be increased in these patients.
HBV reactivation is characterized as an abrupt increase in HBV replication manifesting as a rapid increase in serum HBV DNA level. In patients with resolved HBV infection reappearance of HBsAg can occur. Reactivation of HBV replication may be accompanied by hepatitis, i.e., increase in aminotransferase levels and, in severe cases, increases in bilirubin levels, liver failure, and death can occur.
Test all patients for evidence of current or prior HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti- HBc before initiating HCV treatment with MAVYRET. In patients with serologic evidence of HBV infection, monitor for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis flare or HBV reactivation during HCV treatment with MAVYRET and during post-treatment follow-up. Initiate appropriate patient management for HBV infection as clinically indicated.
5.2 Risk of Hepatic Decompensation/Failure in Patients with Evidence of Advanced Liver Disease
Postmarketing cases of hepatic decompensation/failure, including those with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients treated with HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor-containing regimens, including MAVYRET. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
The majority of patients with severe outcomes had evidence of advanced liver disease with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C) prior to initiating therapy with MAVYRET, including some patients reported as having compensated cirrhosis with mild liver impairment (Child-Pugh A) at baseline but with a prior decompensation event (i.e., prior history of ascites, variceal bleeding, encephalopathy). Rare cases of hepatic decompensation/failure were reported in patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A); many of these patients had evidence of portal hypertension. Events also occurred in patients taking a concomitant medication not recommended for coadministration, or in patients with confounding factors such as serious liver-related medical or surgical comorbidities. Cases typically occurred within the first 4 weeks of treatment (median of 27 days).
In patients with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) or evidence of advanced liver disease such as portal hypertension, perform hepatic laboratory testing as clinically indicated; and monitor for signs and symptoms of hepatic decompensation such as the presence of jaundice, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and variceal hemorrhage. Discontinue MAVYRET in patients who develop evidence of hepatic decompensation/failure.
MAVYRET is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C) or those with any history of prior hepatic decompensation [see Contraindications (4), Adverse Reactions (6.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.7), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
5.3 Risk of Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Concomitant Use of MAVYRET with Carbamazepine, Efavirenz Containing Regimens, or St. John’s Wort
Carbamazepine, efavirenz, and St. John’s wort may significantly decrease plasma concentrations of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir, leading to reduced therapeutic effect of MAVYRET. The use of these agents with MAVYRET is not recommended.
6. Adverse Reactions/Side Effects
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of MAVYRET cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Overall Adverse Reactions in Subjects without Cirrhosis or with Compensated Cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A)
The adverse reactions data for MAVYRET in subjects without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) were derived from nine registrational Phase 2 and 3 trials which evaluated approximately 2,300 adults infected with genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 HCV who received MAVYRET for 8, 12 or 16 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14)].
The overall proportion of subjects who permanently discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions was 0.1% for subjects who received MAVYRET for 8, 12 or 16 weeks.
The most common adverse reactions, all grades, observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving 8, 12, or 16 weeks of treatment with MAVYRET were headache (13%), fatigue (11%), and nausea (8%). In subjects receiving MAVYRET who experienced adverse reactions, 80% had an adverse reaction of mild severity (Grade 1). One subject experienced a serious adverse reaction.
Adverse reactions (type and severity) were similar for subjects receiving MAVYRET for 8, 12 or 16 weeks. The type and severity of adverse reactions in subjects with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) were similar to those seen in subjects without cirrhosis.
Adverse Reactions in Subjects without Cirrhosis
ENDURANCE-2
Among 302 treatment-naïve or PRS treatment-experienced, HCV genotype 2-infected adults without cirrhosis enrolled in ENDURANCE-2, adverse reactions (all intensity) occurring in at least 5% of subjects treated with MAVYRET for 12 weeks are presented in Table 4. In subjects treated with MAVYRET for 12 weeks, 32% reported an adverse reaction, of which 98% had adverse reactions of mild or moderate severity. No subjects treated with MAVYRET or placebo in ENDURANCE-2 permanently discontinued treatment due to an adverse drug reaction.

Adverse Reactions in Subjects with Compensated Cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A)
The safety of MAVYRET in HCV GT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 subjects with compensated cirrhosis is based on data from 288 adults from the Phase 2/3 registrational trials treated with MAVYRET for 12 or more weeks and 343 adults from EXPEDITION-8 treated with MAVYRET for 8 weeks. The adverse reactions observed were generally consistent with those observed in clinical studies of MAVYRET in non-cirrhotic subjects [see Clinical Studies (14)].
In the Phase 2/3 registrational trials, the adverse reactions reported in greater than or equal to 5% of compensated cirrhotic subjects (n=288) treated across all durations of MAVYRET were fatigue (15%), headache (14%), nausea (8%), diarrhea (6%), and pruritus (6%). In EXPEDITION-8, the adverse reactions reported in greater than or equal to 5% of compensated cirrhotic subjects (n=343) were fatigue (8%), pruritus (7%), and headache (6%). No subjects with compensated cirrhosis in the Phase 2/3 registrational trials (without severe renal impairment) or in EXPEDITION-8 discontinued treatment with MAVYRET due to an adverse reaction.
Adverse Reactions in Subjects with Severe Renal Impairment Including Those on Dialysis
The safety of MAVYRET in subjects with chronic kidney disease (Stage 4 or Stage 5 including subjects on dialysis) with genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 chronic HCV infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) was assessed in 104 adults (EXPEDITION-4) who received MAVYRET for 12 weeks. The most common adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving 12 weeks of treatment with MAVYRET were pruritus (17%), fatigue (12%), nausea (9%), asthenia (7%), and headache (6%). In subjects treated with MAVYRET who reported an adverse reaction, 90% had adverse reactions of mild or moderate severity (Grade 1 or 2). The proportion of subjects who permanently discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions was 2%.
Adverse Reactions in HCV/HIV-1 Co-infected Subjects
The safety of MAVYRET in subjects with HIV-1 co-infection with genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 chronic HCV infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A) was assessed in 153 adults (EXPEDITION-2) who received MAVYRET for 8 or 12 weeks. Thirty-three subjects with HIV-1 coinfection also received 8 or 12 weeks of therapy in ENDURANCE-1.
The overall safety profile in HCV/HIV-1 co-infected subjects (ENDURANCE-1 and EXPEDITION-2) was similar to that observed in HCV mono-infected subjects. Adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving MAVYRET in EXPEDITION-2 for 8 or 12 weeks were fatigue (10%), nausea (8%), and headache (5%).
Adverse Reactions in Subjects with Liver or Kidney Transplant
The safety of MAVYRET was assessed in 100 adult post-liver or -kidney transplant recipients with genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 chronic HCV infection without cirrhosis (MAGELLAN-2). The overall safety profile in transplant recipients was similar to that observed in subjects in the Phase 2 and 3 studies, without a history of transplantation. Adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving MAVYRET for 12 weeks were headache (17%), fatigue (16%), nausea (8%) and pruritus (7%). In subjects treated with MAVYRET who reported an adverse reaction, 81% had adverse reactions of mild severity. Two percent of subjects experienced a serious adverse reaction, and no subjects permanently discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions.
Adverse Reactions in People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) and those on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder
The safety of MAVYRET in PWID with HCV GT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 infection is based on data from adults and adolescents in Phase 2 and 3 trials in which 62 subjects identified as current/recent PWID (defined as self-reported injection drug use within the last 12 months prior to starting MAVYRET) and 3,282 subjects reported no injection drug use (non-PWID).
Among current/recent PWID, adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects were fatigue (16%), headache (13%), diarrhea (6%), and nausea (6%). Among non-PWID subjects, adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% were headache (7%) and fatigue (6%). Serious adverse reactions and/or adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in one current/recent PWID subject (2%) compared to less than 1% in non-PWID subjects [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8) and Clinical Studies (14.9)].
Among 225 subjects reporting concomitant use of MAT for opioid use disorder, adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% were headache (15%), fatigue (12%), nausea (11%), and diarrhea (6%). Among 4,098 subjects who were not on MAT, adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% were headache (9%), fatigue (8%), and nausea (5%). Serious adverse reactions and/or adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation were not observed among subjects on MAT and were experienced by less than 1% of subjects not on MAT [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8) and Clinical Studies (14.9)].
Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Subjects 3 Years and Older
The safety of MAVYRET in HCV GT1, 2, 3, or 4 infected adolescents is based on data from a Phase 2/3 open-label trial in 47 subjects aged 12 years to less than 18 years without cirrhosis treated with MAVYRET for 8 or 16 weeks (DORA-Part 1). The adverse reactions observed in subjects 12 years to less than 18 years of age were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of MAVYRET in adults. The only adverse reaction observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving MAVYRET in DORA Part 1 was fatigue (6%). No subjects discontinued or interrupted treatment with MAVYRET due to an adverse reaction.
The safety of MAVYRET in HCV GT 1, 2, 3, or 4 infected pediatric subjects aged 3 years to less than 12 years is based on data from a Phase 2/3 open-label trial in 80 subjects aged 3 to less than 12 years without cirrhosis treated with weight-based MAVYRET oral pellets in packets for 8, 12 or 16 weeks (DORA-Part 2). The adverse reactions observed in subjects 3 years to less than 12 years of age were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of MAVYRET in adults with the exception of vomiting (occurring at 8%), rash, and abdominal pain upper (each occurring at 4%) which were observed more frequently in pediatric subjects less than 12 years of age compared to adults. Other adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving MAVYRET in DORA-Part 2 include fatigue and headache, each occurring at 8%. One subject discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction of erythematous rash (Grade 3). All other adverse reactions were Grade 1 or 2 and no subjects interrupted treatment due to an adverse reaction [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4), Clinical Studies (14.10)].
Laboratory Abnormalities
Serum bilirubin elevations
Elevations of total bilirubin at least 2 times the upper limit of normal occurred in 3.5% of adult subjects treated with MAVYRET versus 0% in placebo; these elevations were observed in 1.2% of adult subjects across the Phase 2 and 3 trials.
In adult subjects with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A), 17% experienced early, transient post-baseline elevations of bilirubin above the upper limit of normal. These bilirubin elevations were typically less than two times the upper limit of normal, generally occurred within the first 2 weeks of treatment and resolved with continued treatment. The subjects with compensated cirrhosis and bilirubin elevations did not have concurrent increases in ALT or AST, or signs of liver decompensation or failure, and these laboratory events did not lead to treatment discontinuation. MAVYRET inhibits OATP1B1/3 and is a weak inhibitor of UGT1A1 and may have the potential to impact bilirubin transport and metabolism, including direct and indirect bilirubin. Few subjects experienced jaundice or ocular icterus and total bilirubin levels decreased after completing MAVYRET.
7. Drug Interactions
7.3 Established and Other Potential Drug Interactions
Clearance of HCV infection with direct-acting antivirals may lead to changes in hepatic function, which may impact the safe and effective use of concomitant medications. For example, altered blood glucose control resulting in serious symptomatic hypoglycemia has been reported in diabetic patients in postmarketing case reports and published epidemiological studies. Management of hypoglycemia in these cases required either discontinuation or dose modification of concomitant medications used for diabetes treatment.
Frequent monitoring of relevant laboratory parameters (e.g. International Normalized Ratio [INR] in patients taking warfarin, blood glucose levels in diabetic patients) or drug concentrations of concomitant medications such as CYP P450 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index (e.g. certain immunosuppressants) is recommended to ensure safe and effective use. Dose adjustments of concomitant medications may be necessary.
Table 6 provides the effect of MAVYRET on concentrations of coadministered drugs and the effect of coadministered drugs on glecaprevir and pibrentasvir [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.3), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. All interaction studies were performed in adults.

8. Use In Specific Populations
8.4 Pediatric Use
No dosage adjustment of MAVYRET is required in pediatric patients 12 years and older or weighing at least 45 kg. The recommended dosage of MAVYRET in pediatric patients 3 to less than 12 years of age is based on weight [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.4), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14.10)].
The safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MAVYRET in HCV GT1, 2, 3, or 4 infected pediatric patients 3 years and older is based on data from an open-label trial in 127 subjects without cirrhosis aged 3 years to less than 18 years who were either treatment-naïve (n=114) or treatment-experienced (n=13) and received MAVYRET for 8, 12 or 16 weeks (DORA-Part 1 and Part 2).
The adverse reactions observed in subjects 3 years to less than 18 years of age were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of MAVYRET in adults with the exception of vomiting, rash and abdominal pain upper which were observed more frequently in pediatric subjects less than 12 years of age compared to adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
The efficacy results observed in this trial were consistent with those observed in clinical trials of MAVYRET in adults [see Clinical Studies (14.10)].
In pediatric patients with cirrhosis, history of a kidney and/or liver transplant, or HCV GT5 or 6 infection, the safety and efficacy of MAVYRET are supported by the comparable glecaprevir and pibrentasvir exposures observed between pediatric subjects and adults [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
The safety and effectiveness of MAVYRET in children less than 3 years of age have not been studied.
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of MAVYRET is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). MAVYRET has not been evaluated and is contraindicated in HCV-infected patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or Child-Pugh C) or those with any history of prior hepatic decompensation [see Contraindications (4)]. Postmarketing cases of hepatic decompensation/failure have been reported in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Higher exposures of both glecaprevir and pibrentasvir occur in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8.8 People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) and those on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder
No dosage adjustment of MAVYRET is required in PWID or those who are on MAT for opioid use disorder. In clinical trials of MAVYRET, the safety and efficacy were similar between subjects who self-identified as current/recent PWID, those who were former PWID, and those who did not report history of injection drug use. The safety and efficacy of MAVYRET were also similar between subjects who reported concomitant MAT for opioid use disorder and those who did not report concomitant MAT [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Drug Interactions (7.4) and Clinical Studies (14.9)].

Specific Populations
Pediatric Patients
The pharmacokinetics of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir were determined in HCV-infected pediatric subjects 3 years of age and older receiving a daily dose of MAVYRET as described below in Table 9. GMRs of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir Cmax and AUC24 in HCV-infected pediatrics vs. adults ranged from 1.58-2.68 and 0.965-1.64, respectively. GMRs of glecaprevir Ctrough ranged from 0.292-0.954 and GMRs of pibrentasvir Ctrough ranged from 0.794-1.93. All pediatric glecaprevir and pibrentasvir PK parameter values fell within the range observed in adult subjects. These differences were not considered clinically significant. The pharmacokinetics of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir have not been established in children less than 3 years of age.

Subjects with Renal Impairment
Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir AUC were increased ≤ 56% in non-HCV infected subjects with mild, moderate, severe, or end-stage renal impairment (GFR estimated using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) not on dialysis compared to subjects with normal renal function. Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir AUC were similar with and without dialysis (≤ 18% difference) in dialysis-dependent non-HCV infected subjects. In HCV-infected subjects, 86% higher glecaprevir and 54% higher pibrentasvir AUC were observed for subjects with end stage renal disease, with or without dialysis, compared to subjects with normal renal function.
Subjects with Hepatic Impairment
Following administration of MAVYRET in HCV infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A), exposure of glecaprevir was approximately 2-fold and pibrentasvir exposure was similar to non-cirrhotic HCV infected subjects.
At the clinical dose, compared to non-HCV infected subjects with normal hepatic function, glecaprevir AUC was 100% higher in Child-Pugh B subjects, and increased 11-fold in Child-Pugh C subjects. Pibrentasvir AUC was 26% higher in Child-Pugh B subjects, and 114% higher in Child-Pugh C subjects.
Age/Gender/Race/Body Weight
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of glecaprevir or pibrentasvir were observed based on age (12-88 years), sex, race/ethnicity or body weight (45 kg or greater). Patients under the age of 12 and weighing less than 45 kg are dosed based on body weight [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
Drug Interaction Studies
Drug interaction studies were performed with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir and other drugs that are likely to be coadministered and with drugs commonly used as probes for pharmacokinetic interactions. Tables 10 and 11 summarize the pharmacokinetic effects when glecaprevir/pibrentasvir was coadministered with other drugs which showed potentially clinically relevant changes. Significant interactions are not expected when MAVYRET is coadministered with substrates of CYP3A, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, UGT1A1, or UGT1A4.

12.4 Microbiology
Mechanism of Action
Glecaprevir
Glecaprevir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4A protease, which is necessary for the proteolytic cleavage of the HCV encoded polyprotein (into mature forms of the NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B proteins) and is essential for viral replication. In a biochemical assay, glecaprevir inhibited the proteolytic activity of recombinant NS3/4A enzymes from clinical isolates of HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 5a, and 6a with IC50 values ranging from 3.5 to 11.3 nM.
Pibrentasvir
Pibrentasvir is an inhibitor of HCV NS5A, which is essential for viral RNA replication and virion assembly. The mechanism of action of pibrentasvir has been characterized based on cell culture antiviral activity and drug resistance mapping studies.
Antiviral Activity
In HCV replicon assays, glecaprevir had median EC50 values of 0.08-4.6 nM against laboratory and clinical isolates from subtypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4d, 5a, and 6a. Pibrentasvir had median EC50 values of 0.5-15.6 pM against laboratory and clinical isolates from subtypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 4d, 5a, 6a, 6e and 6p.
Combination Antiviral Activity
Evaluation of combination of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir showed no antagonism in antiviral activity in HCV genotype 1 replicon cell culture assays.
Resistance
In Cell Culture
Selection of HCV genotype 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a, 4a or 6a replicons for reduced susceptibility to glecaprevir resulted in the emergence of amino acid substitutions most commonly at NS3 positions A156 or D/Q168. Individual substitutions at NS3 amino acid position A156 introduced into HCV replicons by site-directed mutagenesis generally caused the greatest reductions (>100-fold) in susceptibility to glecaprevir. Individual substitutions at NS3 position D/Q168 had varying effects on glecaprevir susceptibility depending on HCV genotype/subtype and specific amino acid change, with the greatest reductions (>30-fold) observed in genotypes 1a (D168F/Y), 3a (Q168R) and 6a (D168A/G/H/V/Y). Combinations of NS3 Y56H plus D/Q168 substitutions resulted in greater reductions in glecaprevir susceptibility. An NS3 Q80R substitution in genotype 3a caused a 21-fold reduction in glecaprevir susceptibility, while Q80 substitutions in genotypes 1a and 1b (including genotype 1a Q80K) did not reduce glecaprevir susceptibility. Individual amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to other HCV protease inhibitors at positions 36, 43, 54, 55, 56, 155, 166, or 170 in NS3 generally did not reduce susceptibility to glecaprevir.
Selection of HCV genotype 1a, 2a or 3a replicons for reduced susceptibility to pibrentasvir resulted in the emergence of amino acid substitutions at known NS5A inhibitor resistance-associated positions, including Q30D/deletion, Y93D/H/N or H58D +Y93H in genotype 1a replicons, F28S + M31I or P29S + K30G in genotype 2a replicons, and Y93H in genotype 3a replicons. The majority of individual amino acid substitutions associated with resistance to other HCV NS5A inhibitors at positions 24, 28, 30, 31, 58, 92, or 93 in NS5A did not reduce susceptibility to pibrentasvir. Individual NS5A amino acid substitutions that reduced susceptibility to pibrentasvir include M28G or Q30D in a genotype 1a replicon (244- and 94-fold, respectively), and P32-deletion in a genotype 1b replicon (1,036-fold). Some combinations of two or more NS5A inhibitor resistance-associated amino acid substitutions may result in greater reductions in pibrentasvir susceptibility. In a genotype 3b replicon, the presence of naturally occurring polymorphisms K30 and M31 in NS5A reduced susceptibility to pibrentasvir by 24-fold relative to the activity of pibrentasvir in a genotype 3a replicon. Introduction of an NS5A Y93H substitution into a genotype 3b replicon further reduced susceptibility to pibrentasvir by 6336-fold.

In pooled analyses of NS3/4A PI- and NS5A inhibitor-naïve subjects who received MAVYRET for 8, 12, or 16 weeks in the registrational Phase 2 and 3 clinical studies (including EXPEDITION-2 and MAGELLAN-2), treatment-emergent resistance analyses were conducted for 24 subjects who experienced virologic failure (2 with genotype 1, 2 with genotype 2, 20 with genotype 3 infection). No subjects with HCV genotype 4, 5 or 6 infection experienced virologic failure.
Among the two genotype 1-infected subjects who experienced virologic failure, both subjects had a subtype 1a infection. One subject had treatment-emergent substitutions A156V in NS3, and Q30R, L31M and H58D in NS5A (Q30R and L31M were also detected at a low frequency at baseline). One subject had treatment-emergent Q30R and H58D (while Y93N was present at baseline and post-treatment) in NS5A.
Among the two genotype 2-infected subjects who experienced virologic failure, both subjects had a subtype 2a infection, and no treatment-emergent substitutions were observed in NS3 or NS5A.
Among the 20 genotype 3-infected subjects who experienced virologic failure, treatment-emergent NS3 substitutions Y56H/N, Q80K/R, A156G, or Q168L/R were observed in 13 subjects. A166S or Q168R were present at baseline and post-treatment in 5 subjects. Treatment-emergent NS5A substitutions S24F, M28G/K, A30G/K, L31F, P58T, or Y93H were observed in 17 subjects, and 14 subjects had A30K (n=9) or Y93H (n=6) at baseline and post-treatment.
Studies in Subjects with or without Cirrhosis Who Were Treatment-Experienced to NS3/4A Protease and/or NS5A Inhibitors
Treatment-emergent resistance analyses were conducted for 11 HCV genotype 1-infected subjects (10 genotype 1a, 1 genotype 1b) with prior NS3/4A PI or NS5A inhibitor treatment experience who experienced virologic failure with MAVYRET with or without ribavirin in the MAGELLAN-1 study. Treatment-emergent NS3 substitutions V36A/M, Y56H, R155K/T, A156G/T/V, or D168A/T were observed in 73% (8/11) of subjects. Nine of 10 subjects (90%, not including one subject missing NS5A data at failure) had treatment-emergent NS5A substitutions M28A/G (or L28M for genotype 1b), P29Q/R, Q30K/R, H58D or Y93H/N. All 11 subjects also had NS5A inhibitor resistance-associated substitutions detected at baseline, and 7/11 had NS3 PI resistance-associated substitutions detected at baseline (see Cross-Resistance for the effect of baseline resistance-associated substitutions on treatment response for NS3/4A PI or NS5A inhibitor treatment-experienced patients).
Effect of Baseline HCV Amino Acid Polymorphisms on Treatment Response (NS3/4A PI- and NS5A Inhibitor-Naïve Subjects)
A pooled analysis of NS3/4A PI- and NS5A inhibitor-naïve subjects who received MAVYRET in the Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical studies was conducted to identify the HCV subtypes represented and explore the association between baseline amino acid polymorphisms and treatment outcome. Baseline polymorphisms relative to a subtype-specific reference sequence at resistance-associated amino acid positions 155, 156, and 168 in NS3, and 24, 28, 30, 31, 58, 92, and 93 in NS5A were evaluated at a 15% detection threshold by next-generation sequencing. Among subjects who received MAVYRET for 8-, 12-, or 16 weeks, baseline polymorphisms in NS3 were detected in 1% (9/845), 1% (3/398), 2% (10/613), 1% (2/164), 42% (13/31), and 3% (1/34) of subjects with HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 infection, respectively. No baseline polymorphisms were detected at NS3 amino acid position 156 across all genotypes. Baseline polymorphisms in NS5A were detected in 27% (225/841), 80% (331/415), 22% (136/615), 50% (80/161), 13% (4/31), and 54% (20/37) of subjects with HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 infection, respectively.
Genotype 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6: Baseline HCV polymorphisms in genotypes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 had no impact on treatment outcome.
Genotype 3: In registrational trials, HCV subtype 3a was the predominant genotype 3 subtype overall and was detected in >99% of U.S. genotype 3-infected subjects. Among treatment-naïve, genotype 3a-infected subjects without cirrhosis who received MAVYRET for 8 weeks, an NS5A A30K polymorphism was detected in 10% (18/179) of subjects, of whom 78% (14/18) achieved SVR12. Limited data are available to characterize the impact of the A30K polymorphism in genotype 3a-infected subjects with cirrhosis (n=3 who received MAVYRET for 8 weeks, all achieved SVR12) or prior treatment experience (n=1 who received MAVYRET for 16 weeks, relapse). In the pooled Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, including post-registrational trials EXPEDITION-8, VOYAGE-1 and VOYAGE-2, 94% (15/16) of genotype 3a-infected subjects with Y93H in NS5A at baseline who received the recommended MAVYRET regimens achieved SVR12. In MAGELLAN-2 (post-transplant subjects), SVR12 was achieved in 2 of 3 (67%) genotype 3-infected subjects with the NS5A Y93H baseline polymorphism. In the VOYAGE-1 and VOYAGE-2 trials conducted in China, Singapore, and South Korea, 50% (20/40) of genotype 3-infected subjects had subtype 3b, of whom 14 (70%) achieved SVR12 with MAVYRET durations of 8, 12 or 16 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14.4)]. The naturally occurring NS5A K30 and M31 polymorphisms were detected in 95% (19/20) and 100% (20/20) of genotype 3b-infected subjects.
Cross-resistance
Based on resistance patterns observed in cell culture replicon studies and HCV-infected subjects, cross-resistance is possible between glecaprevir and other HCV NS3/4A PIs, and between pibrentasvir and other HCV NS5A inhibitors. Cross-resistance is not expected between MAVYRET and sofosbuvir, (peg)interferon or ribavirin.
In the MAGELLAN-1 study, HCV genotype 1-infected subjects who had failed prior treatment with NS3/4A protease and/or NS5A inhibitors were treated with MAVYRET for 12 or 16 weeks. Baseline sequences were analyzed by next generation sequencing at a 15% detection threshold.
Among 23 NS3/4A PI-experienced/NS5A inhibitor-naïve subjects who received MAVYRET for 12 weeks in MAGELLAN-1 (excluding 2 non-virologic failure subjects), 2 subjects each had baseline NS3 R155K or D168E/V substitutions; all 23 subjects achieved SVR12.
Among NS5A inhibitor-experienced/PI-naïve subjects who received MAVYRET for 16 weeks, baseline NS5A resistance-associated substitutions [R30Q (n=1), Y93H/N (n=5), M28A+Q30R (n=1), Q30H+Y93H (n=1), Q30R+L31M (n=2), L31M+H58P (n=1)], were detected in 73% (11/15) of subjects with available data, of whom 91% (10/11) achieved SVR12. The non-SVR12 subject experienced on-treatment virologic failure and had a genotype 1a infection with baseline NS5A Q30R and L31M substitutions.
Persistence of Resistance-Associated Substitutions
Data on the persistence of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir resistance-associated substitutions are not available. NS5A resistance-associated substitutions observed in patients treated with other NS5A inhibitors have been found to persist for longer than 1 year. In patients treated with other NS3/4A PI, viral populations with NS3 resistance-associated substitutions have been found to decline in some patients through post-treatment weeks 24 and 48. The long-term clinical impact of the emergence or persistence of virus containing glecaprevir or pibrentasvir resistance-associated substitutions is unknown.

14.4 Treatment-Naïve or PRS Treatment-Experienced Adults with HCV Genotype 3 Infection without Cirrhosis or with Compensated Cirrhosis
The efficacy of MAVYRET in subjects who were treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced to combinations of (peg)interferon, ribavirin and/or sofosbuvir (PRS) with genotype 3 chronic HCV infection without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis was studied in ENDURANCE-3, EXPEDITION-8 and in SURVEYOR-2 Part 3. Subjects with genotype 3 HCV infection were also included in two Asian regional studies, VOYAGE-1 and VOYAGE-2.
ENDURANCE-3 was a partially-randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial in treatment-naïve subjects without cirrhosis. Subjects were randomized (2:1) to either MAVYRET for 12 weeks or to the combination of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir for 12 weeks; subsequently the trial included a third non-randomized arm with MAVYRET for 8 weeks. The SVR12 data are summarized in Table 17. Due to numerically similar efficacy, MAVYRET is recommended for 8 weeks for treatment-naïve genotype 3 subjects without cirrhosis, rather than 12 weeks [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

The treatment difference (95% confidence interval) was -1.2% (-5.6, 3.1) between the randomized arms of MAVYRET 12 weeks and DCV + SOF 12 weeks. |
The efficacy of MAVYRET in subjects who were treatment-naïve with genotype 3 chronic HCV infection and compensated cirrhosis was studied in EXPEDITION-8. The SVR12 rate of the treatment-naïve subjects with genotype 3 and compensated cirrhosis was 95% (60/63) and one subject experienced virologic relapse [see Clinical Studies (14.3)].
SURVEYOR-2 Part 3 was an open-label trial randomizing PRS treatment-experienced subjects with genotype 3 infection without cirrhosis to 16-weeks of treatment. In addition, the trial evaluated the efficacy of MAVYRET in PRS treatment-experienced genotype 3-infected subjects with compensated cirrhosis for a 16-week duration. Among PRS treatment-experienced subjects treated with MAVYRET for 16 weeks, 49% (34/69) had failed a previous regimen containing sofosbuvir.

Subjects with Genotype 3b Infection in VOYAGE-1 and VOYAGE-2
The efficacy of MAVYRET in subjects with HCV subtype 3b infection was evaluated in the VOYAGE-1 and VOYAGE-2 trials. Genotype 3b is a subtype that is uncommon in the U.S. (<1% of HCV GT3 infections) but has been reported in China, India and other countries in South and Southeast Asia. VOYAGE-1 and VOYAGE-2 were conducted in China, Singapore, and South Korea in HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 infected subjects without cirrhosis (VOYAGE-1) or with compensated cirrhosis (VOYAGE-2) who were treatment-naive or PRS-treatment-experienced. All subjects without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis received 8 or 12 weeks of MAVYRET, respectively, except genotype 3 PRS-treatment-experienced subjects who received 16 weeks of MAVYRET.
Across both trials, subjects with HCV genotype 3b infection had a numerically lower SVR12 rate of 70% (14/20) [58% (7/12) for non-cirrhotic subjects and 88% (7/8) for subjects with compensated cirrhosis] compared to subjects infected with genotype 3a or other HCV genotypes. All six genotype 3b subjects without SVR12 experienced virologic failure (2 on-treatment virologic failure, 4 relapse). SVR12 results in subjects with genotype 3a or other HCV genotypes were comparable with other trials.
14.5 Treatment-Naïve and PRS Treatment-Experienced Adults with CKD Stage 4 and 5 and Chronic HCV Infection without Cirrhosis or with Compensated Cirrhosis
EXPEDITION-4 was an open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial to evaluate safety and efficacy in subjects with severe renal impairment (CKD Stages 4 and 5) with compensated liver disease (with and without Child-Pugh A cirrhosis). There were 104 subjects enrolled, 82% were on hemodialysis, and 53%, 15%, 11%, 19%, 1% and 1% were infected with HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Overall, 19% of subjects had compensated cirrhosis and 81% of subjects were non-cirrhotic; 58% and 42% of subjects were treatment-naïve and PRS treatment-experienced, respectively. The overall SVR12 rate was 98% and no subjects experienced virologic failure. The presence of renal impairment did not affect efficacy; no dose-adjustments were required during the trial.
14.8 Treatment-Naïve or PRS Treatment-Experienced Adults with Liver or Kidney Transplant without Cirrhosis
MAGELLAN-2 was a single-arm, open-label study in 100 post-liver or -kidney transplant HCV genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 infected subjects without cirrhosis who received MAVYRET for 12 weeks. The study included subjects who were HCV treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced to combinations of (peg)interferon, ribavirin, and/or sofosbuvir, with the exception of genotype 3-infected subjects who were all treatment-naïve.
Of the 100 subjects treated, the median age was 60 years (range: 39 to 78); 57% had HCV genotype 1, 13% had HCV genotype 2, 24% had HCV genotype 3, 4% had HCV genotype 4, 2% had HCV genotype 6; 75% were male; 8% were Black; 80% of subjects were post-liver transplant and 20% were post-kidney transplant. Immunosuppressants allowed for co-administration were cyclosporine ≤100 mg, tacrolimus, sirolimus, everolimus, azathioprine, mycophenolic acid, prednisone, and prednisolone.
The overall SVR12 rate in post-transplant subjects was 98% (98/100). There was one relapse and no on-treatment virologic failures.
14.9 People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) and those on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder
Among 4,655 chronic HCV genotype 1-6-infected adolescents and adults in Phase 2 and 3 trials who received MAVYRET and specified whether or not they had a history of injection drug use, 1,373 subjects were identified as PWID based on self-reported history of injection drug use at trial enrollment and 3,282 subjects did not report injection drug use (non-PWID). Of the PWID population, 62 subjects were considered current/recent PWID (defined as self-reported injection drug use within the last 12 months prior to starting MAVYRET), 959 subjects were considered former PWID (defined as self-reported injection drug use more than 12 months prior to starting MAVYRET), and 352 subjects did not specify current/recent PWID versus former PWID and were not included in the analysis. Compared to former/non-PWID subjects (n=4,241), the current/recent PWID subjects were more frequently male (79%), White (73%), younger (median age [range]: 40 years [19 to 64]), treatment-naïve (94%), and had higher proportions of HCV genotype 3 infection (44%) and HIV co-infection (24%). Similar to the former/non-PWID subjects, the majority of current/recent PWID subjects were non-cirrhotic (73%). The overall SVR12 rate was 98% in former/non-PWID subjects and 89% in current/recent PWID subjects; the difference between the two groups was primarily due to missing data at the time of the SVR12 measurement window in the current/recent PWID group. Virologic failure rates, however, were similar in both groups: 2% in the current/recent PWID subjects and 1% in former/non-PWID subjects.
Among 4,655 chronic HCV genotype 1-6-infected adolescents and adults in Phase 2 and 3 trials who received MAVYRET and specified whether or not they had a history of injection drug use, 225 subjects reported concomitant use of MAT for opioid use disorder and 4,098 subjects reported no use of MAT (332 subjects were not included in the analysis due to missing assessment of MAT). Compared to those not on MAT, subjects on MAT were more frequently male (70%), White (92%), younger (median age [range]: 47 years [23 to 76]), treatment-naïve (89%), and had a higher proportion of HCV genotype 3 infection (50%). Of subjects on MAT, 74% were non-cirrhotic, and 7% were co-infected with HIV, similar to those not on MAT. The SVR12 rates were similar between subjects on MAT (96%) and those not on MAT (98%), with low rates of virologic failure in both groups (<1% and 1%, respectively).
14.10 Clinical Trial in Pediatric Subjects 3 Years and Older
The efficacy of MAVYRET was evaluated in an open-label study (DORA [Part 1 and Part 2]) that evaluated pediatric subjects 3 years to less than 18 years without cirrhosis who received MAVYRET for 8, 12, or 16 weeks. Treatment duration was chosen to match approved adult durations based on HCV genotype and prior treatment experience.
DORA Part 1
Forty-seven subjects were enrolled in DORA (Part 1) and received the adult dose of MAVYRET tablets. The median age was 14 years (range: 12 years to 17 years); the mean weight was 59 kg (range: 32 kg to 109 kg); 55% were female; 74% were White; 13% were Asian, and 9% were Black; 79% had HCV genotype 1, 6% had HCV genotype 2, 9% had HCV genotype 3, and 6% had HCV genotype 4; 77% were HCV TN; 23% were treatment-experienced to interferon; 4% had HIV-coinfection; none had cirrhosis. The overall SVR12 rate was 100% (47/47).
DORA Part 2
Eighty subjects aged 3 years to less than 12 years were enrolled in DORA (Part 2) and received weight-based dosing of MAVYRET oral pellets for 8, 12, or 16 weeks. The median age was 7 years (range: 3 years to 11 years); the mean weight was 26 kg (range: 13 kg to 44 kg); 55% were female; 69% were White, 18% were Asian, and 4% were Black; 73% had HCV genotype 1, 3% had HCV genotype 2, 23% had HCV genotype 3, and 3% had HCV genotype 4; 97.5% were HCV TN; 2.5% were treatment-experienced to interferon; 1% had HIV-coinfection; none had cirrhosis.
Sixty-two subjects received the weight-based recommended dosage. Eighteen subjects received doses lower than the recommended weight-based dosage and were not included in the efficacy assessment. The overall SVR12 rate for the subjects who received the recommended dosage was 98.4% (61/62); the subject who did not achieve SVR12 discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
