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: Genotyping for both IL28B SNPs is useful in clinical practice for thorough patient risk stratification based on IFN responsiveness and analysis of the HCV RNA kinetics during 12 wk of therapy showed that the viremia reduction was significantly different in patients carrying the rs8099917 G allele compared to those with favorable homozygosis.

TL;DR: Deleobuvir monotherapy was generally well tolerated and demonstrated dose-dependent antiviral activity against HCV genotype 1 over 5 days and P495 variants did not persist in follow-up without selective drug pressure.

Hepatitis C virus genotypes and association with viral load in yazd, central province of iran.
TL;DR: It was shown that HCV genotype 3 was the predominant genotype followed by the subtypes 1a and 1b in Yazd, central province of Iran and there was no difference between HCV load and genotypes 1 and 3.

Resolute efforts to cure hepatitis C: Understanding patients’ reasons for completing antiviral treatment
Jack A. Clark,Allen L. Gifford +1 more
TL;DR: Explication of the moral context of treatment may identify opportunities to support patients’ efforts in completing treatment, as well as illuminate the choices people with hepatitis C make about engaging in care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational study on the inhibitor binding mode and allosteric regulation mechanism in hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protein.
TL;DR: A dynamic model about the allosteric regulation and conformational changes of HCV NS3/4A protein was proposed and could provide fundamental insights into theAllosteric mechanism of HCWNS3/ 4A protein function regulation and design of new potent inhibitors.

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.

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.

Kauffman,Stefan Zeuzem,Vertex Phar +23 more
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.
