i.e. viral RNA is not detectable 6 months after the end of therapy, which equates to having been cured. In an attempt to improve response rates, and to avoid the unnecessary treatment of potential non-responders, clinical and virological features associated with SVR have been defined. The mo...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health concern in the US as well as in other countries worldwide. Treatment issues and disease management stra
This SVR rate is expected of a cohort treated both before and during the DAA era. A higher success rate would have likely been found if only studying those treated with a DAA, as indicated by the finding that the majority of individuals who did not achieve SVR had received pre-DAA ...
1 The USPSTF review evaluated the linkage between achieving SVR after antiviral therapy vs no SVR and health outcomes. Sustained virologic response after antiviral therapy was consistently associated with decreased risk of all-cause mortality (13 studies; pooled hazard ratio [HR], 0.40 [95% CI, ...

In this regard, a number of advances have come about, owing to: the definition of molecular clones that are infectious in the chimpanzee animal model of HCV infection; the development of HCV-replicon systems in Huh-7 cells; and the availability of the three-dimensional structures of several ...
