TL;DR: In patients with chronic hepatitis C, once-weekly peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin was tolerated as well as interferonAlfa- 2b plus Ribavirin and produced significant improvements in the rate of sustained virologic response, as compared with interfer on alfa -2b plus ribvirin or pegin terferonalfa-3a alone.

Peginterferon Alfa-2a, Lamivudine, and the Combination for HBeAg-Positive Chronic Hepatitis B
George K. K. Lau,Teerha Piratvisuth,Kang Xian Luo,Patrick Marcellin,Satawat Thongsawat,Graham Cooksley,Edward Gane,Michael W. Fried,Wan Cheng Chow,Seung Woon Paik,Wen Yu Chang,Thomas Berg,Robert Flisiak,Philip McCloud,Nigel Pluck +14 more
TL;DR: In patients with H beAg-positive chronic hepatitis B, peginterferon alfa-2a offers superior efficacy over lamivudine, on the basis of HBeAg seroconversion, HBV DNA suppression, and HBsAg serconversion.

TL;DR: Leadipasvir-sofosbuvir for 8 weeks was associated with a high rate of sustained virologic response among previously untreated patients with HCV genotype 1 infection without cirrhosis, and results indicated noninferiority of the 8-week ledipas Viral-SofosBuvir regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new genotype of hepatitis B virus: complete genome and phylogenetic relatedness
Lieven Stuyver,Sija De Gendt,Caroline Van Geyt,Fabien Zoulim,Michael W. Fried,Raymond F. Schinazi,Rudi Rossau +6 more
TL;DR: The hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype was determined in a total of 121 plasma samples collected in France and the US from patients chronically infected with HBV as discussed by the authors, and subsequent phylogenetic analysis of the complete genome and the individual open reading frames, showed that the virus isolate from these samples was 3248 bp long and, phylogenetically, did not cluster with any of the known genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response-guided Telaprevir Combination Treatment for Hepatitis C Virus Infection

TL;DR: Among patients with chronic HCV infection who had not received treatment previously, a regimen of peginterferon-ribavirin for 24 weeks, with telaprevir for the first 12 weeks, was noninferior to the same regimen for 48 weeks in patients with undetectable HCV RNA at weeks 4 and 12, with an extended rapid virologic response achieved in nearly two thirds of patients.
