FIG. 1.

ALT levels of sustained virologic responders, virologic relapse patients, and nonresponders measured during baseline (before initiation of therapy), end-of-treatment (ETR, week 48), and end-of-follow-up (EFU, week 72) visits. Horizontal bars indicate median values of the cohorts. Dotted lines indicate the upper limit of normal of ALT levels for men (43 U/liter) and women (34 U/liter). Open circles in the panel of virologic relapse patients at the end of treatment (ETR) indicate patients who had HCV RNA detectable by the TMA-based assay (VERSANT HCV RNA Qualitative Assay).
