The primary goal of hepatitis C virus (HCV) Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) is to achieve undetectable HCV RNA in the blood. A response that should be maintained for at least 12 weeks from completion of therapy. This is called sustained virological response (SVR) which corresponds to cure of HCV infection as risk of later relapse is very small. SVR is important to achieve improvement in liver necroinflammation and fibrosis and to decrease complications of cirrhosis. Failing to achieve SVR after treatment requires another regimen for these experienced patients. Real-world data are always needed to evaluate and improve our practices. Here investigators aim to assess tolerability and efficacy of different regimens used for management of genotype 4 HCV relapse.
