Dual Oral Combination Therapy with the NS5A Inhibitor Daclatasvir(DCV; BMS-790052) and the NS3 Protease Inhibitor Asunaprevir(ASV; BMS-650032) Achieved 90% Sustained Virologic Response (SVR12) in Japanese HCV Genotype 1b-Infected Null Responders

Dual oral therapy with daclatasvirand asunaprevirprovided rapid and persistent viral suppression in null responders with genotype 1b infection

- All patients who completed 24 weeks' treatment achieved SVR24

- HCV RNA also undetectable 24 weeks post-treatment in patient who discontinued after only 2 weeks

No apparent association between baseline resistance polymorphisms and virologic outcome

Daclatasvir+ asunaprevircombination was generally well tolerated

- Adverse event profile compares favorably with historical experience withpeg-alfa/RBV

High cure rates are possible with dual oral DAA therapy in patients with genotype 1b infection
