  Purpose

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between drug response and the host genetic factors, viral factors and clinical factors in chronic hepatitis C patients (HCV). And thus, the investigators are trying to develop the pharmacogenomic guideline in the Korean patients with HCV.


Condition

Further study details as provided by Inje University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Sustained virological response (SVR) [ Time Frame: 24 weeks after the end of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Undetectable HCV RNA in serum ( <15 IU/ml ) 24 weeks after the end of treatment


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Anemia [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after start of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    1. a reduction in Hemoglobin of >3.0 g/dL
    2. a reduction in Hemoglobin levels to 10.0g/dL.
