Population Pharmacokinetics of Paritaprevir, Ombitasvir, Dasabuvir, Ritonavir, and Ribavirin in Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Cirrhotic and Non-cirrhotic Patients: Analyses Across Nine Phase III Studies.
Article in Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe clinical development program of the direct-acting antiviral (DAA) combination therapy of paritaprevir (coadministered with ritonavir) and ombitasvir, with and without dasabuvir (3-DAA [3D] and 2-DAA [2D] regimens, respectively) used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection has generated a robust dataset across various dosing regimens and patient populations.
objectiveThe current analysis aimed to characterize the population pharmacokinetics in patients without cirrhosis ('non-cirrhotic') and with compensated cirrhosis ('cirrhotic'), while accounting for differences across hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes (GT) 1, 2, and 4, multiple regimens (3D regimen ± ribavirin for GT1 in global studies, 2D regimen for subgenotype 1b in Japan, 2D regimen + ribavirin for GT2 in Japan, and 2D regimen + ribavirin for GT4), and ethnicities.
methodsPharmacokinetic data from nine clinical studies (~ 1850 patients) were used to model the population pharmacokinetics of each component of the DAA regimens. Model development was performed in stages, starting with an initial base model. Covariate-parameter relationships were then assessed using forward inclusion/backward elimination procedures. Model development was guided by goodness-of-fit plots, likelihood ratio tests, plausibility of parameter estimates, and knowledge of DAA, ritonavir, and ribavirin pharmacokinetics. Paritaprevir, ombitasvir, and ritonavir pharmacokinetics were described by a one-compartment model, while dasabuvir and ribavirin pharmacokinetics were characterized by a two-compartment model.
resultsThe analysis showed generally overlapping exposures between compensated cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients or between subgroups of the identified significant covariates. The largest differences were the approximately 30-60% higher dasabuvir and paritaprevir exposures in compensated cirrhotic patients.
conclusionThese differences did not warrant dose adjustments for the DAAs when used in HCV-infected patients with compensated cirrhosis.
