SOF + RBV Treatment for HCV Genotypes 2 and 3
The study investigates the efficacy of SOF + RBV treatment for HCV genotypes 2 and 3 in patients with chronic HCV infection. It includes baseline characteristics, patient disposition, SVR12 rates, multivariate analysis of predictors of SVR12, and factors associated with treatment response. The study's design, dosing regimens, outcomes, and results are detailed, providing valuable insights for managing HCV infections.

VALENCE Study: SOF + RBV for HCV genotypes 2 and 3 Summary The oral SOF + RBV regimen resulted in high rates of SVR12both in genotype 2 and genotype 3 infection High rates of response and low rates of relapse in all genotype 2 sub- groups with 12 weeks of SOF + RBV For genotype 3, SOF + RBV 24 weeks was associated with higher SVR12 than reported with the same regimen for 12 weeks or 16 weeks Identification of 4 possible predictors of SVR12among patients with genotype 3 infection: female sex, absence of cirrhosis, younger age, and a low viral load at baseline Severity and frequency of adverse events did not increase with longer duration of SOF + RBV treatment SOF + RBV has a high barrier to resistance Limitations Descriptive study Few number of patients with genotype 2 Zeuzem S.
