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.About:

TL;DR: A rapid, duplex, high-resolution melting interleukin-28B gene (IL28B) genotyping assay, targeting both rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphisms, was developed and validated using 30 DNA samples from healthy volunteers.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that N-89 and N-251 could overcome all of the DAA-resistant HCVs and these preclinical drugs would have been potential as components of a therapeutic regimen that also included combinations of various DAAs.

Inhibitors of hepatitis c virus polymerase
TL;DR: In this paper, the general Formula I: and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein X, Y, R 2, R 3 are as defined in classes and subclasses herein and compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) comprising such compounds, which compounds are useful as inhibitors of hepatitis C virus polymerase, and thus are useful, for example, as medicaments for the treatment of HCV infection.

Establishment of hepatitis C virus RNA-replicating cell lines possessing ribavirin-resistant phenotype.
Shinya Satoh,Kyoko Mori,Youki Ueda,Hiroe Sejima,Hiromichi Dansako,Masanori Ikeda,Nobuyuki Kato +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that RBV-resistant phenotype was conferred mainly by host factor and partially by viral factor, and should become useful tools for further understanding the anti-HCV mechanisms of RBV.

TL;DR: The aim of this analysis was to devise a simple scoring system to identify patients with high probability of achieving an SVR with peginterferon alfa‐2a/ribavirin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
