Simeprevir is a NS3/4A protease inhibitor, thus preventing viral maturation through inhibition of protein synthesis. Simeprevir is administered as one capsule once daily with pegylated interferon and ribavirin for the treatment of genotype 1 or genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C in adult patients with compensated liver disease (including cirrhosis), with or without HIV-1 co-infection, who are treatment naive or who have failed previous interferon therapy.<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1016/j.jhep.2011.02.023 | title = EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines: Management of hepatitis C virus infection | year = 2011 | journal = Journal of Hepatology | volume = 55 | issue = 2 | pages = 245–64 | pmid = 21371579 | author1 = European Association for the Study of the Liver}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | author = Zein NN | title = Clinical Significance of Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes | journal = Clin.

Results from three phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials (C208, C216, and HPC3007) in patients with chronic HCV GT1 were favourable and resulted in FDA supporting the approval of Simeprevir for Hepatitis C genotype 1.<ref>http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/AntiviralDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/UCM371623.pdf</ref> Interestingly, members of the FDA commented following a presentation by Johnson & Johnson (24 October 2013) that post-marketing studies in racial and ethnic minorities, patients co-infected with HIV, and other underrepresented populations is needed.
 
In the pooled analysis, 2% of those in the simeprevir group had serious adverse events, versus 3% of those in the control group during the initial 12 weeks. A total of 3 patients (0.4%) in the simeprevir group had significant adverse events, which were determined to be related to simeprevir by the study investigator; 1 patient experienced major depression and 2 patients experienced photosensitivity reactions. A total of 4 deaths occurred in the treatment groups, and they were judged to be unrelated to treatment. Other common adverse events were rash (218 [28%] treatment groups; 79 [20%] control groups), influenza like illness (203 [26%] treatment groups; 84 [21%] control groups), pruritis (168 [22%] treatment groups; 58 [15%] control groups), and nausea (173 [22%] treatment groups; 70 [18%] control groups). For all (new) medications, adverse events or suspected adverse events should be made known to a relevant medical practitioner and health professionals are advised to report this to local authorities to promote surveillance and potential recognition of these negative effects.
