I can't help thinking that  Boceprevir may be first to market now. Why would FDA approve Telepivar with its "rash", when there is an equivalent drug in the pipeline that seems to not make life much worse for those on treatment?

These stats are very good news.

Its randomiized before the trials are started..the big shots know what arm im in even before i start...im geno 1a..i think 1b is the hardest to cure...

The trials are all for geno 1 types..including 1b...

so can you imagine the SVR or the easy geno types....like 2 and 3....looks like we will all beat this monster soon...there is hope

good video...so i guess i have t play the wating game now,ive got my 2/4/6 and 8 week PCR tests over with..i do have one more at week 12...but im already UD...so it dont matter about week 12...the next milestone date for me now is the 36th week...this one determines what arm i am in and i will be unblinded...so i have 24 weeks of steady BOC/PEG/RIBA taking...with 4 weeks blood tests in between...i guess there is a chance of mutation or a viral breaktru   so you guys may not see me for 24 weeks...LOL


I guess your all saying....there is s aGod

rock on oh hard one!!!

so how do they decide which Arm you are in...is it random or by genotype?

what genotype are you again?

and what SVR of 86% are they talking about...is this for 1a's or a general average for all types?
