Background and AimIt is not yet clear which factors are associated with the outcome of 72-week treatment with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.MethodsIn 66 patients with HCV genotype 1 who had a late viral response (LVR) to 72-week treatment of pegylated-interferon and RBV, we examined the factors that determined the outcome, including single nucleotide polymorphisms of interleukin-28B and inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) genes.ResultsThirty seven of 66 (56%) patients with LVR achieved a sustained viral response (SVR). The mean age of these 37 SVR patients was 55, compared with 61 in 29 relapsed patients (P=0.009). Twenty six of 54 (48%) patients with the CC genotype and 11 of 12 (92%) with the CA/AA genotype of ITPA rs1127354 achieved SVR (P=0.006). The SVR rates were 79%, 40%, 60%, and 33% in patients with undetectable HCV RNA on weeks 16, 20, 24, and 28 or later, respectively (P=0.014). Finally, serum RBV concentration at week 44 of treatment was significantly higher in the SVR group (2651ng/mL) than in the relapse group (1989ng/mL, P=0.002). In contrast, the rate of the interleukin-28B genotype was not different between the groups. Multiple regression analysis showed that age
