Impact of Interleukin 28B (rs12979860) Genotype on Virological Responses in Chronic Hepatitis C Treatment
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Pegylated Interferon α2 and Ribavirin for Hepatitis C and Hepatitis C Relapse. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Objective: Pegulated Interferon α2 plus ribavirin is a treatment of choice in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. This study was conducted to find out the frequency of different IL-28B (rs12979860) genotypes in patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV genotype type 2 \& 3) infection treated with Pegulated Interferon α2 plus ribavirin and to evaluate the role of IL-28B genotypes in achieving Sustained Virological Response (SVR). Methods: In this non-randomized observational study, ninety eight (98) patients with diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C were included. In all patients, Peg-IFN plus Ribavirin were given in standard doses for 24 weeks. End treatment response, sustained virological response, and relapse rate were the primary endpoints of this study. Analysis of IL28B (rs12979860) polymorphism (CC, CT and TT) was performed by PCR-RFLP protocol.
