Summary –SMV + PEG-IFN + RBV showed non-inferiority with regard to SVR 12 to TVR + PEG-IFN + RBV in patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection and compensated liver disease who were null or partial responders to previous treatment with PEG-IFN + RBV Non-inferiority was met for null or partial responders separately as well Rates of on-treatment failure, viral breakthrough, and relapse were similar between the two treatment groups –The incidence of adverse events deemed at least possibly related to SMV or TVR was noticeably lower in the SMV group, and most adverse events were grade 1 or 2 –Serious adverse events were infrequent and less common in the SMV group, and fewer patients needed to discontinue SMV compared with TVR because of an adverse event Reddy KR.
