Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of simeprevir-based (SMV) or telaprevir-based (TVR) triple therapy [SMV + Pegylated interferon alfa (PegIFNα) and ribavirin (RBV) versus TVR + PegIFNαand RBV] in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection .Methods A systematic literature searching was conducted in multiple online databases to identify relevant studies .The sustained virologic response rate at 12 (SVR12) and 24 weeks (SVR24) after end of the treatment were used as the efficacy endpoints .The rate of treatment related adverse events (AEs) ,discontinuation due to AEs and overall treatment discontinuation were used as safety endpoints . Patients were divided into multiple subgroups according to the previous treatment history to further compare the efficacy of the two treatment regimen .Statistical analyses were performed using the RevMan 5 .3 software .The Jajad score scale and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale were employed to evaluate the quality of included studies .Results A total of 5 clinical studies including 1666 HCV genotype 1 patients were included in this study .The pooled results showed that SVR12 rates in SMV group and TVR group were 67 .6% and 68 .3% , respectively .There was no significant difference in overall SVR12 rate between SMV and TVR groups (OR=0 .95 ,95% CI:0 .76 -1 .18 , P=0 .65) .There was no significant heterogeneity among studies (P=0 .84 ,I2 = 0% ) .For SVR24 rate ,the average SVR24 rate in SMV group was 78% ,which was lower than that in TVR group of 84% .However ,there was no significant difference in overall SVR24 rate between SMV and TVR groups (OR=0 .71 ,95% CI:0 .42-1 .20 ,P=0 .20) .Meanwhile ,there was no significant heterogeneity among studies (P= 0 .69 ,I2 = 0% ) .The subgroup analysis also showed that there was no significant difference in efficacy between SMV and TVR-based triple therapy for treatment-native patients ,prior partial response ,relapse ,and prior null response patients (all P>0 .05) .However , the pooled analysis indicated that both SMV-based and TVR-based triple therapies were most effective for the treatment-naive patients(SMV :85 .7% ,TVR :85 .6% ) .For the safety endpoints ,the incidence rate of anemia was significant lower in SMV group compared to TVR group (OR=0 .30 ,P<0 .001) .For the rate of overall treatment discontinuation ,there was no statistically significant difference between SMV and TVR group (OR=0 .48 ,P=0 .12) .Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that the efficacy of SMV-based triple therapy is non-inferior to TVR-based triple therapy .However ,the SMV-based triple therapy is more tolerable and has a lower incident rate of anemia and discontinuation due to AEs compared to TVR-based triple therapy .
