What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Correlation of liver elasticity with liver biopsy performed no later than 3 months before study start

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. Correlation of liver elasticity evolution with viral kinetics

    Time frame: 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety: incidence of adverse events

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. Correlation of liver fibrosis stages with sustained virological response (SVR)

    Time frame: 24 months

  3. Correlation of patients characteristics with sustained virological response

    Time frame: 24 months

  4. Hepatic transient elastography (M-transducer)

    Time frame: 24 months

  5. Hepatic transient elastography (XL-transducer)

    Time frame: 24 months

  6. Correlation of hepatic steatosis score with sustained virological response

    Time frame: 24 months

  7. Correlation of liver steatosis measured by Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) with that obtained by liver biopsy

    Time frame: 24 months

  8. Correlation of liver stiffness of HCV monoinfected patients with HCV/HIV co-infected patients

    Time frame: 24 months
