Study Overview
Brief Summary
The hypothesis was to check whether baseline anti-E1E2 antibodies were correlated with the on-treatment viral kinetics and could predict virological outcome in treatment-experienced HCV-infected cirrhotic patients receiving protease inhibitor-based triple therapy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Proportion of patients with positive anti-E1E2 antibody level at treatment initiation
Time Frame: Baseline (initiation of treatment)
Anti-E1E2 antibody levels were determined as previously described (Ndongo et al. Hepatology 2010;52:1531-42) using optical densities obtained after dilution of patients' serum samples at 1/250 and 1/500. Samples with anti-E1E2 levels above 950 (OD value× 1000) were considered positive.
Secondary Outcomes
- Kinetic of Quantification of hepatitis C viral load (HCV RNA)(baseline (initiation of treatment), at week 4, 12, 24, 36, 48 of therapy, at 12 weeks after the end of treatment.)
