14 Goal of Therapy The goal of therapy is to cure HCV infection to prevent hepatic cirrhosis, decompensation of cirrhosis, HCC, severe extra-hepatic manifestations and death The endpoint of therapy is undetectable HCV RNA in a sensitive assay (LOD <15 IU/mL) 12 weeks (SVR12) and/or 24 weeks (SVR24) after the end of treatment Undetectable HCV core antigen 12 weeks (SVR12) and/or 24 weeks (SVR24) after the end of treatment is an alternative endpoint of therapy in patients with detectable HCV core antigen prior to therapy if HCV RNA assays are not available or not affordable EASL 2016
15 Goal of HCV Therapy The goal of treatment of HCV-infected persons is to: reduce all-cause mortality and liver-related health adverse consequences, including end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, by the achievement of virologic cure as evidenced by a sustained virologic response Recommendations for Testing, Managing, and Treating Hepatitis C ( October 2015
