What Do We Currently Know About Resistance to Protease Inhibitors? • Minor resistant populations preexist at baseline in virtually all HCVinfected patients[1] • Resistant variants rapidly selected with monotherapy[2] – R155K requires 1 nucleotide change in GT1a but 2 nucleotide changes in GT1b; virtually all resistance has been seen in GT1a[3] • Emergence of resistance reduced when protease inhibitor combined with potent antivirals without cross-resistance, such as pegIFN, or pegIFN plus RBV[3,4] • Failure to achieve SVR during triple-combination therapy associated with selection of resistant HCV variants[3] • Boceprevir mutations can persist at least 3 yrs after exposure. However, telaprevir resistance mutations undetectable 2 yrs after treatment discontinuation in 89% of patients in EXTEND study[4] 1. Bartenschlager R, et al. J Gen Virol. 2000;81:1631-1648. 2.
