According to company reports, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s hepatitis C includes compounds with different mechanisms of action, biologics as well as small molecule direct-acting antivirals. These compounds were being studied as part of multiple treatment regimens with the goal of increasing SVR rates across different patient types. Moreover, company stated NS5A replication complex inhibitor daclatasvir (DCV) had been extensively studied in thousands of patients to date as a foundational agent for multiple DAA-based combination therapies and is currently in Phase III development. DCV has shown antiviral potency and pan-genotypic activity across HCV genotypes in vitro. DCV has a drug-drug interaction profile that supports its continued study in a variety of HCV combination regimens. However, Asunaprevir (ASV) is an NS3 protease inhibitor in Phase III development for hepatitis C as a component of DCV-based treatment regimens. BMS-791325 is a non-nucleoside inhibitor of the NS5B polymerase, currently in Phase II development for hepatitis C as a component of DCV-based treatment regimens. Lambda is an investigational type III interferon that has the potential to offer an alternative to alfa-interferon in patients for whom an interferon-based regimen is required or preferred.
