Virus cure is defined as <1 virus copy in the entire extracellular body fluid;

additional 3 weeks of therapy (extra cost of 14,542€) but assuming that additional week would have achieved SVR in the subject who relapsed, i.e., saving of average cost (58,167€) of DAA therapy in France; N/A, not available due to insufficient viral load measurements.
