The Beckoning Future: How Hepatitis C Drugs in Development May Affect Practice

Today and Tomorrow

In this live satellite symposium for physicians, registered nurses, and other

healthcare providers, hepatitis C experts will help providers make informed

decisions for today's patients by examining what the future may hold for

hepatitis C management, including:

Prospects and time frame for developing more effective, better tolerated, and/or

more convenient regimens

Need for improved options for patients with non-genotype 1 HCV as well as for

the hardest-to-treat subsets of genotype 1 patients

Challenge of maximizing response rates and avoiding resistance both with today's

regimens and in the future

Clinical dilemmas regarding the risks and benefits of treating patients today vs

awaiting future options

Presented for attendees of the 62nd AASLD Annual Meeting. This is not

an official function/event of the American Association for the Study of Liver

Disease.
