摘要
瞄准:决定一座干扰素高山的功效哈并且为感染遗传型 2 的丙肝病毒(HCV ) 的日本病人的 ribavirin 联合治疗,多中心研究回顾地被分析。方法:总共,有 HCV 遗传型 2 的 173 个病人每天一个星期和 ribavirin 的 600-800 mg 为 24 wk 三次皮下地收到 interferon-alpha。结果:总的来说持续的 virological 反应(SVR ) ,在浆液的定义同样无法发现的 HCV RNA,在治疗的结束以后的 24 wk,在 84.4% 显著地高,(146/173 ) 由 intention-to-treat 分析。在 SVR 的有效差量有或没有 ribavirin (46.9% 对 92.9%) 的中止在病人之间被发现,但是没有差别有或没有 ribavirin 的剂量减小在那些之间被发现。在 SVR 的有效差量也与 16 或更与不到 16 wk 和病人在病人之间被发现 ribavirin 治疗(34.8% 对 92.0%) 的星期。结论:24-wk 干扰素和 ribavirin 治疗为有 HCV 遗传型 2 的日本病人是高度有效的。SVR 的重要预言者是 ribavirin 治疗的继续多达 16 个星期。
AIM: To determine the efficacy of an interferon alpha and ribavirin combination treatment for Japanese patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) of genotype 2, a multi-center study was retrospectively analyzed.
METHODS: In total, 173 patients with HCV genotype 2 started to receive interferon-alpha subcutaneously thrice a week and 600-800 mg of ribavirin daily for 24 wk.
RESULTS: The overall sustained virological response (SVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA in serum, 24 wk after the end of treatment, was remarkably high by 84.4%, (146/173) by an intention-to-treat analysis. A significant difference in SVR was found between patients with and without the discontinuation of ribavirin (46.9% vs 92.9 %), but no difference was found between those with and without a dose reduction of ribavirin. A significant difference in SVR was also found between patients with less than 16 wk and patients with 16 or more weeks of ribavirin treatment (34.8 % vs 92.0 %).
CONCLUSION: The 24-wk interferon and ribavirin treatment is highly effective for Japanese patients with HCV genotype 2. The significant predictor of SVR is continuation of the ribavirin treatment for up to 16
