Abstract

Background/aim: The optimal dose, duration and frequency of interferon treatment for chronic hepatitis C is not clear. Preliminary hepatitis C virus kinetic studies have suggested that daily interferon is more advantageous than thrice in a week administration. Recently, a synthetic recombinant interferon, consensus interferon, has been approved for clinical application. There is no data available about daily use of consensus interferon. Methods: Our study protocol was designed to investigate the efficacy of long-term (12 month) daily consensus interferon therapy for chronic hepatitis C patients, who have either relapsed or not responded to previous interferon therapy. Eleven patients were included in the study. Results: Overall, eight (72%) patients became serum HCV-RNA negative. Of these, 60% (3/5) were among previous non-responders and 83% (5/6) were among previous relapsers. Conclusions: Our preliminary data suggests that daily use of consensus interferon provides encouraging results in relapsers and non-responders. However, further time is needed to evaluate the sustained response rate.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik hepatit C'ye yönelik Interferon tedavisinin doz, süre ve uygulama sıklı¤ı yönünden belirsizlik söz konusudur. Hepatit C virüsüne yönelik ön çalışmalar günlük uygulamanın, haftada üç kez yapılan uygulamaya göre daha etkili oldu¤unu düşündürmektedir. Yakın zamanda yeni bir sentetik rekombinant interferon, konsensus interferon, klinikte kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Konsensus ineterferonun günlük uygulamasına dair henüz herhangi bir çalışma yayınlanmamıştır. Yöntem: Daha once yapılan interferon alfa tedavisine yanıt alınamayan veya relaps gözlenen kronik hepatiti C'li hastalarda consensus interferon tedavisinin uzun sure (12 ay) uygulamasının etkinli¤ini araştırmak üzere bu çalışma planlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 11 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular: Tedavi sonrasında bu hastaların 8 (%72)'inde HCV-RNA negatifleşmiştir. Önceki tedaviye yanıtsız hastalarda başarı oranı %60 (3/5), relaps gözlenenlerde başarı oranı %83 (5/6) olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu bulgular, consensus interferon'un önceki tedaviye yanıtsız veya relaps gözlenen kronik hepatit C'li hastalarda, umut verici yeni bir tadavi seçene¤i oldu¤unu düşündürmektedir. Ancak kesin yargıya varabilmek için kalıcı cevap sonuçlarının da beklenmesi gereklidir.
