one HCV protease inhibitor in combination with food are provided. Also
provided are methods of increasing bioavailability of an HCV protease
inhibitor and methods of increasing serum levels of an HCV protease
inhibitor in a subject. All methods comprise adminstering at least one
HCV protease inhibitor in combination with food, the at least one HCV
protease inhibitor selected from the group consisting of compounds of
Formulae I-XXVI, described herein. Administration of compounds of the
present invention in combination with food provides improved
bioavailability and increased peak serum levels of the compounds as
compared to administration without food.
