A trial by US drug major AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) revealed 91% of genotype 1 (GT1) chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients who failed previous therapy with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), achieved sustained virologic response when treated with ABT-493 and ABT-530 with ribavirin (RBV).

This sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) was achieved after 12 weeks treatment with the combination.

Additionally, 86% of GT1 patients who received ABT-493 and ABT-530 without RBV, achieved SVR12.
