2 Will predictors usefull with SOC continue to be usefull with PI Tx? Viral factors - HCV subtype - HCV RNA levels Host factors Unmodifiable - Race/ethnicity - Genetics - Age/advanced fibrosis SVR On treatment factors Duration of regimen Cumulative dose exposure Adherence RVR Host factors Modifiable Metabolic syndrome GT Iron overload

3 Open issues Is RVR important in triple therapy? Is IL28B essential in DAA treatment? Should we use the lead-in? And should we use it with both drugs? Is there need for precise staging of the disease? Is there difference between G1a and G1b?

8 RVR Conclusions RVR is important : - in naive pts to choose between triple therapy and SOC - to choose pts eligible for shortened treatment duration - to motivate patients to stay on therapy

9 Open issues Is RVR important in triple therapy? Is IL28B essential in DAA treatment? Should we use the lead-in? And should we use it with both drugs? Is there need for precise staging of the disease? Is there difference between G1a and G1b?
