Telaprevir alone or with peginterferon and ribavirin reduces HCV RNA in patients with chronic genotype 2 but not genotype 3 infections.

TLDR
Telaprevir monotherapy for 2 weeks reduces levels of HCV RNA in patients with chronic HCV genotype 2 infections, but has limited activity in patientsWith chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 3, the incidence of adverse events was similar among groups.

The importance of resistance to direct antiviral drugs in HCV infection in clinical practice.

TL;DR: Geno- and phenotypic resistance testing as well as clinical data on the importance of RAVs for conventional triple therapies with sofosbuvir, simeprevir, and daclatasvir and available interferon-free DAA combinations are discussed.

Antiviral strategies in hepatitis C virus infection.

TL;DR: The proof of concept that IFN-free regimens may lead to HCV eradication has recently been brought, however, new drugs may be associated with troublesome side effects and drugdrug interactions, and the ideal IFn-free DAA combination remains to be found.

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 with Peginterferon and Ribavirin for Chronic HCV Genotype 1 Infection

TL;DR: Treatment with a telaprevir-based regimen significantly improved sustained virologic response rates in patients with genotype 1 HCV, albeit with higher rates of discontinuation because of adverse events.

Telaprevir and peginterferon with or without ribavirin for chronic HCV infection.

TL;DR: In this phase 2 study of patients infected with HCV genotype 1 who had not been treated previously, one of the three telaprevir groups had a significantly higher rate of sustained virologic response than that with standard therapy.
