TLDR
The standard of care (SOC) therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been the use of both peginterferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) as mentioned in this paper.

Efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir-based therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients.

TL;DR: In conclusion, sofosbuvir-based treatment is effective and safe in treating chronic HCV infection, although the SVR12 of its combination with RBV, especially in treatment-experienced patients, requires improvement.

Characterization of the Interleukin-28B Gene rs12979860 C/T Polymorphism in Turkish Chronic Hepatitis C Patients and Healthy Individuals.

TL;DR: In the patients with chronic HCV-genotype 1b and 4 infections, the IL28B rs12979860 (C>T) gene polymorphism frequency of the TT genotype and T allele was higher than in healthy control subjects, indicating that the TTgenotype may be more effective in the progression of HCV infection than other genotypes.

Models of Viral Population Dynamics

TL;DR: This chapter reviews major advances in the modeling of the population dynamics of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and briefly discusses adaptations to other viruses.

Real-world efficacy and safety of daclatasvir and asunaprevir therapy for hepatitis C virus-infected cirrhosis patients.

TL;DR: Daclatasvir and asunaprevir combination therapy has shown a high virological response for chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C virus infected‐patients, but the real‐world efficacy and safety of the therapy for patients with cirrhosis are unknown.

Peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peginterferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin compared with interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin for initial treatment of chronic hepatitis C: a randomised trial.

TL;DR: In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the most effective therapy is the combination of peginterferon alfa-2b 1.5 microg/kg per week plus ribavirin, and this randomised trial found that the benefit is mostly achieved in patients with HCV genotype 1 infections.

Genetic variation in IL28B predicts hepatitis C treatment-induced viral clearance.

TL;DR: It is reported that a genetic polymorphism near the IL28B gene, encoding interferon-λ-3 (IFN-α-2a) is associated with an approximately twofold change in response to treatment, both among patients of European ancestry and African-Americans.

Peginterferon-alpha2a and ribavirin combination therapy in chronic hepatitis C: a randomized study of treatment duration and ribavirin dose.

TL;DR: Treatment with peginterferon-alpha2a and ribavirin may be individualized by genotype, and in patients infected with HCV genotype 1, 48 weeks of treatment was statistically superior to 24 weeks and standard-dose ribvirin was statistically inferior to low-dose Ribavirin.

Telaprevir for Previously Untreated Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection

TL;DR: Telaprevir with peginterferon-ribavirin was associated with significantly improved rates of sustained virologic response in patients with HCV genotype 1 infection who had not received previous treatment, with only 24 weeks of therapy administered in the majority of patients.
