Virologic Response Rates of Weight-Based Taribavirin Versus Ribavirin in Treatment-Naive Patients with Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C
6 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Ribavirin-induced hemolytic anemia can prompt dose reductions and lower sustained virologic response (SVR) rates in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C. The study aimed to determine if weight-based dosing of taribavirin (TBV), an oral prodrug of ribavirin (RBV), demonstrated efficacy comparable to RBV while maintaining its previously demonstrated anemia advantage with fixed dose...
