Response was defined as undetectable HCV RNA level at a sensitivity of <15 IU/ml

¥

End of treatment response was defined as undetectable HCV RNA level at the end of the treatment period. 4 patients (3 TVR, 1 BOC) were lost to follow-up during treatment

Relapse was defined as detectable HCV RNA level after treatment completion in a subject with an undetectable HCV RNA level at end of treatment

Sustained virologic response (SVR) was defined as undetectable HCV RNA level at least 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation. 4 TVR-treated and 3 BOC-treated patients stopped treatment prematurely but achieved SVR. 19 patients with end of treatment response were lost to follow-up after treatment ended (13 TVR, 6 BOC)
