Description

Telaprevir (marketed under the brand names Incivek and Incivo) is a direct-acting antiviralagent against the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is a hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease inhibitor indicated for the treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in adult patients with compensated liver disease, including cirrhosis, who are treatment-naïve or who have been previously treated with interferon-based treatment, including prior null responders, partial responders, and relapsers in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin. Telaprevir is not used as a monotherapy. It is necessary for the proteolytic cleavage of the HCV encoded polyprotein into mature forms of the NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B proteins and essential for viral replication. It belongs to the chemical class of alpha-ketoamids and binds to NS3/4A in a covalent but reversible manner.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
1125 mg taken twice daily (10-14 hours apart) with food (not low fat). Incivek must be administered with both peginterferon alfa and ribavirin for all patients for 12 weeks, followed by a response-guided regimen of either 12 or 36 additional weeks of peginterferon alfa and ribavirin depending on viral response and prior response status.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Telaprevir demonstrated excellent antiviral activity both in genotype 1b HCV replicon cells with the IC50 of 354 nM and in human fetal hepatocytes infected with genotype 1a HCV-positive patient sera (IC50 = 280 nM).
