Relapse after 3 months of combined therapy of IFN & RVN for ONE year
when to start re-treatment after relapse of combined tx for 1 year? what is the tx of choice in relapsers ? and for how long will be the 2nd course ?
Many thanks dear, I was worried about my dad as he didn't proceed to liver biopsy, he stopped tx 3 months ago, but there are many opinions regarding tx re-start
Of all the outcome scenarios with treatment failure, relapsers have the best chance of achieving SVR when retreated. Speaking for myself my tx of choice will be triple therapy which will consist of interferon, ribavirin and a protease inhibitor. The PI is expected to be released sometime in 2011.
I am a genotype 1 with advanced liver disease, however, the odds of achieving SVR with a PI added to the mix for geno 1's go from a little below 50 percent to a little above 70 percent. With numbers like that is makes sense to wait even with advanced fibrosis.
