Abstract
On the basis of an analysis of 2 large clinical trials (FUSION and NEUTRINO), patient outcome and productivity are more negatively affected by the inclusion of pegylated interferon in treatment than by interferon-free regimens. Patients with sustained virologic responses 12Â weeks after treatment had significant improvements in PROs in both studies.
