AIM: To investigate if correction of hypovitaminosis D before initiation of Peg-interferon-alpha/ribavirin(Peg IFN/RBV) therapy could improve the efficacy of Peg IFN/RBV in previously null-responder patients with chronic genotype 1 or 4 hepatitis c virus(HcV) ***:Genotype 1 or 4 HcV-infected patients with null response to previous Peg IFN/RBV treatment and with hypovitaminosis D(ctively received cholecalciferol 100000 IU per week for 4 wk[from week-4(W-4)to W0],followed by 100000 IUper month in combination with Peg IFN/RBV for 12 mo(from W0 to W48).The primary outcome was the rate of early virological response defined by an HcV RNAcluded,19(59%)and 13(41%)patients were HcV genotype1 and 4,*** median baseline vitamin D level was 15 ng/m L(range:7-28).In modified intention-to-treat analysis,29 patients who received at least one dose of Peg IFN/RBV were included in the *** patients except one normalized their vitamin D serum *** rate of early virologic response was 0/29(0%).The rate of HcV RNAc response in previously null-responders with chronic genotype 1or 4 HcV infection.
