“…Although triple therapy was associated with higher SVR rates than dual therapy in all patient subgroups, significant advantage was observed for treatment‐experienced patients, patients with IL28B genotype CT or TT, HCV genotype 1b, high pretreatment viral load, early fibrosis, platelet count > 150 000/μL and elevated ALT levels (Box ). Overall, the ratio of odds ratios indicated that treatment‐experienced patients, as already observed , and patients with elevated ALT levels showed maximum benefit from triple therapy. It is interesting to note that several factors associated with an increased rate of SVR to triple therapy represent negative predictors of response to dual therapy, such as previous unsuccessful treatment, IL28B CT/TT, high viral load .…”

“…In May 2011, the FDA approved the first class of DAAs (NS3/4a protease inhibitors) for use with PEG IFN and RBV as triple therapy. While the SVR rates dramatically improved to 60–80%, therapy was still complicated by a cumbersome treatment protocol with numerous side effects, including, but not limited to, rash, anemia, thrombocytopenia and fatigue .…”

“…The pharmacological data justify maintaining a close monitoring of HIV-VL for patients treated with an ATV/r-based regimen, and a shorter regimen might be considered for patients with RVR8. Such a therapeutic option might be considered in countries where treatment of hepatitis C infection with the newer direct-acting antiviral drugs remains difficult because of the lack of availability, as recently emphasized 15 .…”
