研究概览
简要总结
This observational study will assess factors leading to dose reductions/treatment discontinuations and the effect on sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C receiving a long-acting interferon (e.g. Pegasys/peginterferon alfa-2a) and ribavirin. Data will be collected from each patient for the duration of their treatment and for up to 6 months thereafter.

结局指标
主要结局
Correlation between baseline patient characteristics and safety related dose reductions/treatment discontinuations of the long-acting interferon or ribavirin
时间窗: 4 years
Correlation between safety related dose reductions/treatment discontinuations and sustained virological response (SVR: defined as HCV RNA <50 IU/mL at 24 weeks after completion of treatment)
时间窗: 4 years
次要结局
- Correlation between degree of dose reductions/treatment interruptions (percentage of actual exposure/treatment administrations in relation to target exposure) and SVR(4 years)
- Comparison of on-treatment virological response (rapid virological response, early virological response) in treatment-naïve and treatment experienced patients(4 years)
- Safety: Incidence of adverse events(4 years)
- Correlation of on-treatment factors and dose reduction/treatment discontinuation(4 years)
