| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study was carried out to compare the ability of two HCV RNA assays (TaqMan and AccuGene assays) to evaluate the impact of hepatitis C virus (HCV) kinetics on the outcome of patients treated with triple therapy or interferon-free sofosbuvir-based therapy.
In triple therapy, the time HCV RNA became undetectable by the AccuGene assay was associated with treatment outcome for difficult-to-treat group, such as patients with advanced fibrosis, IL28B TG/GG genotype (rs8099917), and prior non-responders. In sofosbuvir-based therapy, the time at which HCV RNA became target not detected was not associated with treatment outcome by either the AccuGene or TaqMan assay.
