Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss treatment regimen options for patients with previous unsuccessful HCV treatment
  • Recount strategies to control ribavirin-induced anemia
  • Summarize alternative treatment approaches for patients with suboptimal on-treatment HCV response

Test your ability to make optimal treatment decisions using patient histories and diagnostic information and see the case unfold according to your choices. Compare your answers with your peers and our expert faculty’s recommendations, and then review the supporting data.
