SOF, sofosbuvir; VEL, velpatasvir; LDV, ledipasvir; VOX, voxilaprevir; PR, PegIFN + ribavirin; RBV, ribavirin; SVR12, sustained virological response rates at 12th week after treatment; NA, nonapplicable. Standard dose of each drug was as follows: SOF, 400 mg per day; VEL, 100 mg per day; LDV, 90 mg per day; VOX, 100 mg per day; PegIFN 180 μg per week; RBV 1000–1200 mg per day. The confidence intervals were estimated with the exact method, as recommended by Nyaga et al. [19] who developed the statistical program used for pooling in this study. Standard dose of VEL is 100 mg per day. In this study (Everson 2005), a VEL dose of 25 mg per day was experimented.
