Stockholm, Sweden — Medivir AB (OMX: MVIR) reports that its partner Janssen Pharmaceutical R&D Ireland (Janssen) today announced primary efficacy and safety results from four Japanese phase III clinical studies demonstrating that the use of the investigational NS3/4A protease inhibitor simeprevir (TMC435) led to sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) in patients with genotype 1 hepatitis C, when administered once daily with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. The four studies examined the use of simeprevir in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C patients who were treatment naïve, as well as patients who were non-responders to prior therapy or relapsed following treatment with pegylated interferon with or without ribavirin.
