Objectives Analyze factors associated with RVR rates: -IL28B genotype -Dose of RBV during the first 4 weeks of therapy Analyze factors associated with SVR rates in IL28B non-CC patients
Patients with completed follow-up 386 patients in 12 Spanish Centers included in PERICO study Baseline Characteristics of Patients

Conclusions Patients carrying unfavorable IL28B genotypes are more vulnerable to other negative factors for SVR, advanced live fibrosis in particular o This genetic drawback is not overcome by increasing RBV doses Hemoglobin reduction is associated with greater chances for SVR o It may be that preemptive EPO prevents greater RBV dosing to result in greater RBV exposure
