Cost-impact analysis using response-guided therapy with sofosbuvir in combination of simeprevir, daclatasvir or ledipasvir.

HCV RNA <15 IU/ml

Estimated treatment cost saving (in France#) using RGT compared to standard 12 weeks of therapy
[x1000€]
Estimated treatment cost saving using RGT compared to standard 12 weeks of therapy in 100 subjects
14 28(48%) 6 26* [SVR] + 2** [non-SVR] 698@ 43%

Total 921 16%

Assuming that the 3 and 1 patients who had HCV<15 at days 2 and 7, respectively, in which modeling could not be performed (Table 3), would have achieved cure with 6 weeks of therapy;

**

projected relapsers since modeling projected more than 6 weeks to reach cure (Table 3);

***

observed relapser in the current study;

@

Assuming extra cost to re-treat the 2 non-SVR with a 12 week course of dual therapy;

&

no difference since one patient was a relpaser;

#

Average cost (58,167€) of DAA therapy as in Table 3.
