Prolonged treatment (18 months) of chronic hepatitis C with recombinant alpha-interferon in comparison with a control group.

Abstract:

:The effectiveness of recombinant alpha-interferon was evaluated in chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis of parenteral transmission. Thirty patients were randomly allocated two groups: control group (without treatment) and treatment group (alpha-interferon 5 mega units thrice weekly for 2 months, and then 1.5 mega units until the eighteenth month). Retrospectively, 26 patients had anti-hepatitis C antibodies. After the first month, 40% of the treated patients had normal serum alanine aminotransferase levels, and no one in the control group (p less than 0.05). After 18 months of treatment, 40% (6/15) of treated patients and 7% (1/14) of controls had normal serum transaminases (p less than 0.05). Interferon was well tolerated. A decrease in the Knodell Index score on final biopsy was found in treated patients (p less than 0.05), with no variations in the control group. Relapse within 7 months after the end of treatment occurred in two out of six complete responders. Thus, recombinant alpha-interferon therapy given for 18 months normalizes serum transaminases and improves histological lesions in chronic hepatitis C of parenteral epidemiology. This long-term interferon schedule is well tolerated.
