IL28B genotype had limited effect on telaprevir response in HCV patients

Patients with interleukin 28BCC genotype had a slightly better response to hepatitis C treatment with pegylated interferon, ribavirin and telaprevir than those with the CT or TT genotypes in a recent study.Researchers performed genetic testing on 527 patients with hepatitis C genotype 1 to detect polymorphisms of the IL28B gene. All participants had been enrolled in the REALIZE study, in which patients randomly were assigned either placebo (n=105) or 750 mg telaprevir every 8 hours for 12 weeks (n=422), in addition to 180 mcg weekly of pegylated interferon alfa-2a and between 1,000 mg and 1,200 mg ribavirin daily for 48 weeks.
