Abstract
The combination of daclatasvir + asunaprevir [Daklinza(®) + Sunvepra(®) (Japan)], two direct-acting antiviral agents, has been developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infections, including those with compensated cirrhosis. Daclatasvir + asunaprevir has received its first global approval in this indication in Japan. Daclatasvir + asunaprevir is the first all-oral, interferon- and ribavirin-free regimen for this indication. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of daclatasvir + asunaprevir leading to this first approval for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infections.Entities:
