The response rates
are not uniform for all patients. A favorable response can be expected in
patients with genotype 2 and 3, possibly those with a lower viral load,
women, those under the age of 40, and those who have a favorable histology

the body weight, meaning that it may be a matter of getting the correct dose
to the patient. |
