CONCERTO-2 Study: SMV + PEG-IFNa-2a + RBV for genotype 1 Summary In treatment-experienced patients with HCV genotype 1 infection who failed to respond to previous IFN-based therapy, re-treatment with 12 weeks of oral SMV QD in combination with PEG-IFN +RBV achieves high SVR rate This study was not able to determine whether there is an additional efficacy benefit by prolonging SMV therapy beyond 12 weeks Limitation: prior partial response versus null-response status to previous IFN-based therapy was not clearly documented SMV was generally well tolerated the incidences of serious adverse events or grade 3/4 rash or anemia were low, as were the rates of treatment discontinuations due to these adverse events CONCERTO-2 Izumi N, J Gastroenterol 2014;49:941-53 5
