Study Population

Patients with chronic hepatitis C or B treated with pegylated interferon alpha

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who will receive anti viral treatment consists of PEG-IFN-alpha-2a or 2b combined with ribavirin,
  • Patients with chronic hepatitis B who receive anti-viral treatment with PEG-IFN-alpha 2a (Pegasys)
  • Age 18-70 who are eligible for anti viral treatment.
  • Patients who attend and are treated in the Liver Unit of Haifa and Western
  • Galilee District of Clalit Health Services and Carmel Medical Center will be recruited.
  • Patients with all HCV genotypes will be included and will be treated by the standard-of-care therapy for hepatitis C: 48 weeks for genotypes 1 or 4.
  • Patients and 24 weeks for genotypes 2 or 3.
  • Virological response will be determined at week 12 of treatment. In non-responders therapy will be discontinued.
  • In those patients with genotype 1 and "'slow virological response", 72 weeks of therapy will be considered. Included will be also patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving PEG-IFN alpha 2a for up to 48 weeks.
