Clinical Trial Summary

1. Randomized controlled multicenter study

2. The response of reducing dose of peginterferon alfa-2a in Koreans with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1

3. IL28B polymorphism in Koreans with CHC


Clinical Trial Description

The virologic response of Koreans to combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C is similar to non-Asians; however, dose modification occurs more frequently in Koreans.

-When we evaluated the rates of peginterferon α-2a and ribavirin dose modifications and their effect on the virologic response in Koreans, we suggested that using at least 80% of the peginterferon α-2a dose in Koreans not only maintains SVR but also reduces drug side effects during the entire treatment period and a lower dose of ribavirin may be as efficacious as a standard dose(Korean J Intern Med 2009;24:203-211).

So we investigate whether the group of 80% use dosage of peginterferon alfa-2a did not show inferior response rather than that of 100 % use dosage group and minimize the adverse events.

There are recently reports that Koreans have favorable IL28B SNP for CHC treatment.

-We investigate the IL28B polymorphism in Koreans with CHC and this result can effect on the SVR depending on the dosage of peginterferon alfa 2a ;
