The benefit of extending treatment duration with peginterferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) from 48 weeks to 72 weeks for patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infection has not been well established. In this prospective, international, open-label, randomized, multicenter study, 1,428 treatm

A recent nonrandomized pilot trial showed that hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients with genotype 2/3 and rapid virological response (RVR) had a 90% sustained virological response (SVR) rate after 14 weeks of treatment. We aimed to assess this concept in a randomized controlled trial. In the trial, 428
## Abstract Variation at the ILβ28B locus was recently reported to be a significant predictive factor of viral response to pegylatedβinterferon plus ribavirin combination therapy against chronic hepatitis C. Predictive factors for the effect of therapy, including ILβ28B polymorphism rs8099917 and v
This study tested the hypothesis that high-dose peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG-IFNalpha-2a) for the first 12 weeks would increase early and sustained virological response (SVR) rates in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Eight hundred ninety-six patients were randomized 1:1 to 360 microg (n =
The impact of amantadine on virologic response rates of interferon-based treatment of chronic hepatitis C is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare virological response rates in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)-1 infection treated with 400 mg amantadine or placebo in combin
ΓΆschenberger, 10 for the Austrian Hepatitis Study Group We compared the efficacy and tolerability of 24 weeks of treatment with ribavirin 800 mg/day (group A) or 400 mg/day (group B) plus peginterferon alfa-2a 180 g/week in treatment-naive patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 o
