Clinical Care Options 

How New Data From AASLD 2017 Inform the Use of 8-Week Regimens for HCV
Ira M. Jacobson MD - 1/9/2018
Several studies presented at the 2017 AASLD meeting in Washington, DC, assessed 8-week therapy for patients with HCV infection. In this commentary, I discuss how key data from these studies may have an impact on management of patients with HCV infection.

Studies discussed:

8-Week GZR/EBR for Treatment-Naive, Noncirrhotic Patients With Genotype 1b HCV Infection
GLE/PIB for Treatment-Naive Genotype 3 HCV
8-Week LDV/SOF for Acute Genotype 1 or 4 HCV and HIV Coinfection
