Standard Versus Extended Duration Direct-Acting Antiviral Therapy in Hepatitis C Patients With Slow Response to Treatment.

TL;DR: A recommendation for extension of therapy cannot be made for patients with detectable HCV RNA at week 4 of treatment at this time, and cost analyses may help guide recommendations to re-treat rare failures versus extend therapy in all slow responders.

Considerations on Direct Antiviral Agent Therapy in Patients Having Chronic Hepatitis C from Constanta County

TL;DR: Despite of the various adverse reactions recorded, the triple therapy consisting in DAA added to the standard treatment proves its utility, and the high rates of sustained viral reaction justifies its utilization.

Hepatitis b: koga liječiti?

TL;DR: Odluka o tome koga liječiti ovisi o stadiju bolesti prema patohistološkim kriterijima, dobi bolesnika, komorbiditetu, kao i kontraindikacijama i potencijalnim rizicima terapije te motiviranosti bolesNika za provođenje

Antiviral effect of Archidendron pauciflorum leaves extract to hepatitis C virus: An in vitro study in JFH-1 strain

TL;DR: The extract A. pauciflorum can be used as a herbal-based antiviral drug and exhibited concentration dependent inhibition against the JFH1 strain of HCV genotype 2a with an IC 50.

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.

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.
