Drug Overview
AbbVie’s Viekira Pak franchise comprises Viekira Pak ([paritaprevir + ritonavir + ombitasvir] + dasabuvir), Viekira XR ([paritaprevir + ritonavir + ombitasvir + dasabuvir]), and Technivie ([paritaprevir + ritonavir + ombitasvir]), which is branded as Viekirax outside the US market. Viekira Pak is AbbVie’s first-generation interferon-free regimen, approved for the treatment of GT-1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections within the US and five major EU markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK). The regimen contains a fixed-dose combination of paritaprevir, an NS3A and NS3/4A protease inhibitor boosted with ritonavir, and ombitasvir, an NS5A inhibitor. Dasabuvir, a non-nucleoside NS5B inhibitor, is also included in the regimen but is taken in a separate pill. Within the US, an extended release, once-daily fixed-dose combination of all four components is also available under the brand name Viekira XR. Within the EU, the components of AbbVie’s interferon-free regimen are marketed under the brand names Viekirax ([paritaprevir + ritonavir + ombitasvir]) and Exviera (dasabuvir). Within Japan, only the paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir fixed-dose combination is marketed, and is sold under the Viekirax brand name. In the US, the paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir fixed-dose combination is marketed under the brand name Technivie, and is approved for use in GT-4 patients only.
