Description

Simeprevir is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor approved for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C (genotype 1 and 4). Inhibiting NS3/4A, simeprevir blocks viral replication. In in vitro assays simeprevir was potent against HCV genotype 1a and 1b. Simeprevir must not be administered as monotherapy and should only be prescribed with both peginterferon alfa and ribavirin.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The recommended dose is one 150 mg capsule taken once daily with food. OLYSIO should be administered with both peginterferon alfa and ribavirin. The recommended treatment duration of OLYSIO with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin is 12 weeks, followed by either 12 or 36 additional weeks of peginterferon alfa and ribavirin depending on prior response status.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The median simeprevir EC50 and EC90 values against a HCV genotype 1b replicon were 9.4 nM (7.05 ng/mL) and 19 nM (14.25 ng/mL), respectively.
