摘要: Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is an important public health problem, and the standard treatment (combination of pegylated interferon-α ribavirin) has effectiveness rate only 40%–50%. Novel virus-specific drugs have recently been designed, multiple compounds are under development. The approval for clinical use direct-acting antivirals in 2011 (boceprevir [BOC] telaprevir, viral NS3 protease inhibitors) increased recovery rates by up to 70%. Therefore, a highly effective envisioned first time. This paper focuses on BOC implementation new BOC-based regimes.
