Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms near Interleukin 28B (IL28B) (rs8099917) and a rapid virological response (RVR) have been reported as predictors for a sustained virological response (SVR) to telaprevir (TVR)-based triple combination therapy. However, the association between SVR and viral kinetics earlier than week 4 after initiation of therapy remains unclear. Thus, we evaluated the SVR prediction ability of...
