Ribavic : design (1) A multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, open-label trial PEG-IFN alfa-2b 1.5 mg/kg/week + Ribavirin 800 mg/d IFN alfa-2b 3MU x 3/week + Ribavirin 800 mg/d 48 weeks Main inclusion criteria Naive of HCV treatment HCV-RNA positive Liver Biopsy within 18 months before entry Stable HIV-1 RNA (D < 1 log10 over the preceding 3 months) Stable HAART or no HAART CD4 cell count > 200/mL
Ribavic : design (2) Primary end-point Long term virologic response (loss of detectable HCV RNA) at week 72 Secondary end-points Safety anf tolerability Quantitative HCV - RNA Alanine aminotransferase serum values CD4 cell count, HIV1-RNA Liver histology (second biopsy sample taken at W72)

Ribavic : CONCLUSION In HIV-HCV coinfected patients, PEG-IFN alfa2b plus ribavirin: More effective than IFN alfa2b plus ribavirin Less effective than in HIV negative patients Protocol designed to be close to the real life: High proportion of severe liver disease (40% of bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis) Difficulty to maintain patients under treatment (36% did not complete treatment)

Traitement des patients co-infectés VIH-VHC : facteurs cliniques à prendre en compte Données psycho-sociologiques Souhaits, personnalité, mode de vie Motivation, dépression Dépendances? Alcoolisme Toxicomanie active Observance? Possibilités de suivi, acceptabilité de la PBH (Fibrotest, Actitest?) Tolérance et acceptabilité d autres traitements Cirrhose décompensée?
