- W2317508949 abstract "Ezetimibe has been reported to inhibit viral entry and to reduce BMI and has been proposed as a novel therapeutic agent for chronic hepatitis C (CHC), potentiating the effects of pegylated interferon and ribavirin (peg-IFN/RBV).The aim of the study was to assess the effects of ezetimibe coadministration with peg-IFN/RBV combination on the early virological response (EVR) rates in nonobese and obese patients with CHC genotype 4 (CHC-4).A total of 144 CHC-4 patients were divided into two groups; group 1 included nonobese patients (n=76) and group 2 included obese patients (n=68). Each group was further subclassified into equal control and treated groups. The control groups received peg-IFN/RBV combination for 24 weeks, and the treated groups received peg-IFN/RBV plus ezetimibe for 12 weeks and then only peg-IFN/RBV for the remaining 12 weeks.The study revealed that EVR significantly improved in the obese patients (85.3 vs. 64.7% in the treated and control groups, respectively, at P<0.05) without any significant improvement in the nonobese patients. Biochemical responses (defined as normalization of alanine aminotransferase at week 12) were markedly improved in the treated groups in both the nonobese and obese groups compared with their respective controls.The addition of ezetimibe to peg-IFN/RBV combination significantly improves EVR rates in obese patients compared with nonobese patients, and remarkably improves the biochemical responses in both obese and nonobese patients with CHC-4. This may shed light on a new strategy for the treatment of CHC, particularly in obese Egyptian patients." @default.
