• Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, of Ingelheim, Germany, reported new findings presented during the APASL Liver Week in Singapore, highlighting the efficacy and safety of faldaprevir(+) plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PegIFN/RBV) in treatment-naïve patients with genotype-1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Asia. The post-hoc sub-analysis of the Phase III STARTVerso 1 and 2 trials showed that both doses of faldaprevir were associated with high viral cure rates and a shorter treatment duration in that particular patient group.
