Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This is an exploratory study to investigate whether 2D therapy with PTV/r/OBV restores host immune response against HCV via comparing changes in gene expression profiles between patients who achieve SVR vs. patients who do not achieve SVR. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1)To further explore changes in immune response via analyzing the effect on cytokine changes in peripheral blood and analyzing effect at the molecular level 2)Predicion of hepatoma by using age, sex, fibrotic markers (APRI, FIB-4, and Fibro test etc.), fibrotic scoring, and cellular immunity 3)To explore host or viral factors contributing to SVR | — |
