Patients receiving therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection frequently experience cytopenias and weight loss We retrospectively assessed the pharmacodynamic effects of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a and ribavirin by evaluating the relationship between changes in hematologic parameters, body weight, and virologic response Patients with HCV genotypes 1, 4, 5, or 6 receiving 24 or 48 weeks of PEG-IFN alfa-2a and ribavirin therapy were pooled from four phase 3/4 trials Maximum decreases in hemoglobin level, neutrophil count, platelet count, and weight during therapy were assessed according to virologic response category (sustained virologic response [SVR], relapse, breakthrough, and nonresponder) and race/ethnicity Of 1,778 patients analyzed, more than half were male, non-Hispanic Caucasian, and infected with HCV genotype 1, had a baseline HCV RNA >800,000, and had alanine aminotransferase levels
