The recent or imminent launch of several direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents, such as sofosbuvir (Gilead\u2019s Sovaldi) and simeprevir (Janssen\u2019s Olysio), in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina is heralding the all-oral, interferon (IFN)-free era of HCV treatment in the region, which is expected to challenge the IFN-based standards of care. However, while all-oral, IFN-free regimens will likely dramatically improve treatment outcomes for HCV patients, they are also expected to carry price premiums over the current standards of care and will likely be met by ever-demanding payers and strict reimbursement environments. Drug manufacturers must overcome these and other challenges to market access if they aspire to significantly penetrate this highly lucrative disease space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-391278","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry","report-gateway-biopharma","biopharma-therapy-areas-hepatitis-c-virus","biopharma-therapy-areas-infectious-disease","biopharma-geography-latin-america","biopharma-geography-us","biopharma-date-717"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/391278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/report"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/391278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":576927,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/391278\/revisions\/576927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
