HCV Therapeutic Development In Pursuit of Perfectovir Requirements Perspective Extremely High Treatment Efficacy Pan-genotypic activity (similar dosing and duration) Maintenance of high efficacy in all patients categories including decompensated and peri-transplant settings Minimal toxicities and broad documented safety including renal failure and children High genetic barrier with minimal HCV resistance Easy of dosing, preferably 1 tablet per day Limited Drug-to-Drug interactions Short treatment duration Affordability G J Dore, JJ Feld. 16
