High SVR rates with DAA regimen among chronic HCV patients
July 5, 2013
Sustained virologic response to a regimen of three antivirals and ribavirin was highly prevalent with or without a ribavirin dose reduction among patients with chronic HCV in a study presented at the International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Researchers evaluated 247 noncirrhotic patients with chronic HCV genotype 1, including 159 treatment-naive patients and 88 who were nonresponsive to previous interferon-based therapy. Patients were assigned 12 or 24 weeks of treatment with a combination of three direct-acting antivirals (DAA): HCV protease inhibitor ABT-450/r; NS5A inhibitor ABT-267, and non-nucleoside NS5B inhibitor ABT-333, along with weight-based ribavirin (RBV).
