Second Generation Direct-Antivirals for HCV in the Real World

Slideshow

Clinical trials of second generation direct-acting antivirals in HCV show high cure rates. But do those rates reflect real life?

What are HCV cure rates with second-generation direct-acting antivirals in difficult-to-treat populations, such as those with liver transplant or HIV coinfection?
