KG Mabrouk Elgadi – Employment: Boehringer Ingelheim Fenglei Huang – Employment: Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc Aim: To evaluate the effect of faldaprevir at steady-state on the pharmacokinetics

and pharmacodynamics of methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone in subjects on stable opioid maintenance therapy. Methods: This was an open-label study in subjects receiving a stable dose regimen of methadone (up to a maximum of 180 mg/day) or buprenorphine/naloxone (up to a maximum of 24 mg/6 mg per day). On Day 2, subjects received 480 mg faldaprevir (loading dose) followed by 240 mg QD faldaprevir on Days 3 to 9. Blood samples were taken on Days 1 and 9 for pharmacokinetic analysis for methadone and buprenorphine/naloxone (up to 24 h post-dose) and faldaprevir (up to 96 h post-dose). Pharmacodynamics of the opioid

maintenance regimens were evaluated by the objective Seliciclib in vivo opioid withdrawal scale (OOWS) and subjective opioid withdrawal scale (SOWS). Results: Thirty four subjects entered and completed the study; 15 on methadone, 19 on buprenorphine/naloxone. Co-administration of faldaprevir with methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone resulted in geometric mean ratios for AUC0-24,ss″, Cmax,SS

and C24,SS of si.2 for R-methadone and S-methadone, and ≤1.1 for buprenorphine and naloxone (Table 1). Similar faldaprevir exposures were observed in both the methadone and buprenorphine/naloxone treated subjects. There was no evidence of symptoms of withdrawal as evaluated by the validated OOWS or SOWS scores following co-administration of RVX-208 faldaprevir with methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone. Conclusions: No dose adjustment is required for methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone when co-administered with faldaprevir. Disclosures: Michael J.

Riesen-berg, Bradley Vince, Abidemi Adeniji Background: Peginterferon Lambda-1a (Lambda), a Type III interferon (IFN), exerts potent antiviral activity through a unique receptor complex with limited cellular distribution outside the liver, and is expected to have a differentiated safety profile compared to peginterferon alfa (alfa).
