    Fig 1

    Correlations between the viral reduction in JTK-853-treated HCV-infected patients and the JTK-853 susceptibility in their NS5B-harboring replicon at the BL (A) and EOT (B). The x axis represents the EC50, and the y axis represents the change in HCV RNA load from the BL to the EOT in a 3-day monotherapy. The correlation coefficient (R) is indicated in each panel. The symbols are as follows: circles, 800 mg BID; triangles, 1,200 mg BID; squares, 1,600 mg BID; diamonds, 1,200 mg TID.
