Good News for GT1s Conclusions Baseline RASs in NS5A have minimal effects on patients’ response to ledipasvir/sofosbuvir therapy. When these RASs do have effects, they could be largely overcome by extending treatment duration or through treatment intensification. 1983: Hospitalised with Acute non-A, non-B Hepatitis after ICU blood transfusion 3mths earlier => HCV GT2 22/02/16: (pre-tmt) ALT 61, VL 2.48 IU/ml Hepascore 0.32 (F1/2), fatigue, brain fog, bloating (Treatment Naïve) 10/04/16: (Start tmt) Sofovir +DaclaHep (SOF + DCV) by Hetero Labs in India 09/05/16: ALT 34, VL: NOT Detected 17/6/16 FBG 5.7; PPBG (@14.22) 6.9 (@ 20.45) 7.1; BP 124/72 | |

| Yes, good news, but good to be aware for the small % - So that those in the 'slow-lane' can know there is the option to extend treatment if necessary with generics safely via this website in time; especially if they are being treated by NHS England who are not always prescribing the recommended tx period and generally not offering any treatment extention from what I've heard.
