Whether sustained biochemical response and absence of serum HCV RNA in the 6-12 months following suspension of interferon-␣ (IFN-␣) therapy reflect definitive viral clearance in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is controversial.

## Abstract To determine the virological factors associated with a favorable long‐term response to interferon‐α (IFN) therapy in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, 61 Japanese patients with chronic HCV infection were treated with IFN for 24 weeks (780 million units in total) and followed fo
