What's the Hardest Hep C Genotype to Treat?
« on: July 23, 2015, 01:05:21 pm »
Genotype 3, especially if you have cirrhosis or are treatment-experienced.

At this time, we do not have an interferon-free treatment with high cure rates for this particular group of people with hepatitis C. This is an unmet medical need for a large group of people in the United States and Worldwide.

For more information about the current treatment options for geno 3's click here:
