19 CURRENT TREATMENT FOR HCV SUMMARY Either telaprevir or boceprevir combined with peginterferon and ribavirin is the current standard of care for patients with HCV genotype 1 Superior results in all patient groups compared to peginterferon and ribavirin Paradigms for the 2 drugs are different but yield similar results About 6% of patients will achieve a sustained virologic response and can be treated for only weeks The ability to be cured of HCV is dependent upon interferon responsiveness Must adhere to strict stopping rules to avoid the emergence of resistant mutations Response guided therapy should be utilized for patients with genotypes 2, 3 and 4 Copyright 213 American College of Gastroenterology 19
