Data obtained, analyzed and adapted from Ref. [8,9,44]. PR48: Standard therapy with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin for 48 wk; BOCRGT: Boceprevir with therapy possibly shortened by response guided therapy; BOCPR48: Boceprevir with treatment fixed time for 48 wk; T12PR48: Telaprevir by 12 wk and standard therapy for 48 wk; IL28B: Interleukin-28B; BMI: Body mass index; HCV: Hepatitis C virus; SVR: Sustained virologic response.
