This study evaluates the efficacy of Sofosbuvir combined with Ribavirin in patients with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 2 and 3 who are intolerant to or unwilling to take interferon, as well as those ineligible for it. The POSITRON trial involved a 12-week treatment regimen with a significant sustained virologic response (SVR) rate observed at week 12 post-treatment. Key findings include the treatment's effectiveness across different genotypes and liver disease stages, indicating a promising option for patients with limited treatment choices.
