EVOLUTION OF THE TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC HEPATITIS C
Abstract
Hepatitis C virus was discovered in 1989. For a long time, interferon α2 and ribavirin were the only therapeutical option available for the antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis C. During recent years, novel interferon-free regimens have been developed. These regimens consist of the direct-acting agents, which are potent inhibitors of the key proteins in the viral replication cycle. Compared to the interferon-based treatment, these direct-acting agents provide greater efficacy and better safety profile.
