Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine differences in levels of serum chemokines from patients undergoing treatment with Boceprevir. The aim is to determine if non-responders have significantly different levels of chemokines than responders.
Detailed description
Patients undergoing standard of care at the UNC Liver Center are consented for collection of an additional serum sample under the UNC Liver Center serum and tissue bank study. These samples will be used to analyze differences in serum chemokines across responders and non-responders.
