increased ribavirin bioavailability associated with telaprevir use in hepatitis c patients treated with pegylated -interferon/ribavirin/telaprevir triple therapy
conclusions our results indicated a reversible increase in rbv bioavailability after telaprevir exposure, which might be linked to the impairment of the gfr. this also suggests a rbv-telaprevir pharmacological interaction, a possible source of severe anemia observed under triple therapy. these results suggest that rbv pharmacological monitoring may be clinically relevant, especially in the cont...
متن کاملIncreased Ribavirin Bioavailability Associated With Telaprevir Use in Hepatitis C Patients Treated With PEGylated -Interferon/Ribavirin/Telaprevir Triple Therapy
BACKGROUND Anemia is more frequent in patients receiving telaprevir with PEGylated interferon/ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) than in those receiving PEG-IFN/RBV alone. OBJECTIVES The objective was to measure the impact of telaprevir on RBV bioavailability and to assess the concomitant renal function. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-seven hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients non-responders to a previous c...
متن کاملReal world experience with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in hepatitis C genotype 1 population with favourable IL28B polymorphism
Background and aim: Conventional hepatitis C treatment using pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin is associated with significant side effects. IL28B polymorphism can predict response to treatment, with CC genotype having a better response. ITPA gene deficiency protects against clinically significant anaemia induced by treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine IL28B polymorph...
متن کاملPolymorphism of IL-28B Gene (rs12979860) in HCV Genotype 1 Patients Treated by Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin
Background: Nowadays, the immune response to hepatitis C (HCV) treatment has become a crucial issue mostly due to the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) polymorphism effects in chronic HCV patients. The aim of this study was to detect the polymorphism of IL-28B gene (rs12979860) in HCV genotype 1 patients treated with pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin. Methods...
متن کاملA reduced dose of ribavirin does not influence the virologic response during pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin combination therapy in patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C
BACKGROUND/AIMS When combined with pegylated interferon alpha-2b (Peg-IFN α-2b) for the treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in Korea, the current guideline for the initial ribavirin (RBV) dose is based on body weight. However, since the mean body weight is lower for Korean patients than for patients in Western countries, current guidelines might result in Korean patients being ove...
