The clinical usefulness of detecting telaprevir-resistant variants is unclear. Two hundred fifty-two Japanese patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b received triple therapy with telaprevir-peginterferon (PEG-IFN)-ribavirin and were evaluated for telaprevir-resistant variants by direct sequencing at baseline and at the time of reelevation of the viral load. An analysis of the entire group...
