Brief Summary: Rationale Chronic HCV infection is characterised by a weak HCV specific CD8 T cell response due to continuous pressure of high viral load Treatment of chronic HCV patients with ASV and DCV will result in a significant drop in HCV viral load At present no information is available on the immunological effects of treatment with ASV and DCV nor on the early effects of viral load reduction caused by a compound that is thought not to possess direct immunomodulatory effects This information will be crucial for a better understanding of the mechanisms that may limit the effectiveness of treatment occurrence of viral rebound or relapses during at the end of treatment or during the follow up period

Objective To evaluate in detail the functionality of immune cells in blood in chronic HCV patients before during and after treatment with ASV and DCV in an IFN-free regimen

Study design This is an investigator-initiated single center open label study with one arm of 12 patients

Study population Adult chronic HCV patients with genotype 1b who are previous non-responders to the treatment

Intervention if applicable All patients will be treated with twice daily a 200 mg oASV and once daily a 60 mg DCV for 24 weeks

Main study parametersendpoints

1 Phenotype and function of blood leukocytes during treatment frequency of HCV-specific T cells NK cells and monocytes
2 Gene expression levels of leukocyte populations before during and after treatment
3 Gene expression levels of the type I IFN signaling pathway on whole blood samples
4 Serum cytokines levels using multiplex platforms
