- W2022334145 abstract "Aim: The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of low dose long-term interferon (IFN) therapy in aged patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Methods: The IFN therapy was performed in Shin-Kokura Hospital on 44 patients aged 60 or older with chronic hepatitis C. All patients had high viral loads of genotype 1. Three million units of natural IFN-α was administered intramuscularly or intrasubcutaneously, three times a week for three years. A control group of 44 subjects not treated with IFN, matched for age, gender and hepatic histology, was formed. Results: Two of the 44 patients showed a sustained virological response. Alanine aminotransferase was below the upper limit of normal in 59% (23/39) of the patients and alpha-fetoprotein was less than 40 ng/mL in 97% (38/39) on the completion of treatment. Sustained biochemical response was observed in 53% (19/36) of the patients. In the liver cirrhosis group, serum albumin values and platelet counts increased in 38% (6/16) and 33% (6/18) of patients, respectively. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) appeared in three patients by 13 months after the start of treatment, but no cases were reported thereafter. The cumulative non-carcinogenesis rate of HCC in the liver cirrhosis group was significantly higher in the IFN treatment group compared to the control group (log–rank test, P = 0.046). Conclusion: Low dose long-term interferon monotherapy to prevent carcinogenesis of HCC was considered useful in aged patients for whom peg-interferon and ribavirin combination therapy is difficult." @default.
