Sustained virological response · participants with detectable HCV RNA after four weeks of treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin
Extended peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment for 72 weeks may leads to higher sustained virological response (SVR) compared with standard peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment (low certainty).
