Core Tip |
The interferon based therapy for hepatitis C patients has a limited response with a number of adverse effects. The ledipasvir and sofosbuvir combination therapy showed a sustained virological response (SVR) rate of 99% in treatment na?ve patients. The rate of SVR was 94%-99% in treatment experienced patients, while in cirrhotic patients the rate of SVR was 86%-99%. The treatment response was not affected by ethnicity or host genetic factors.
