Telaprevir trial ??

I know there are around 1000 people in the phase III trial but was wondering how it is broken down to how many in each of the 3 arms. I specifically wanted to find out what % will be in the placebo arm and if I enter the study what chance i would have of getting Telaprevir. I seem to recall reading this breakdown or maybe it was on the last Vertex webcast? if someone could post a link that has the breakdown of arms it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm not in a study but I am waiting to get into one.  For now you can check out this link and get quite a bit of information.  When you get into a study the specific information you're asking for will be specific to your study.  This is just what I think, I'm sure someone else will come along with more information about the study that they are in.  The only difference that I am aware of is both arms get the Pegasys and the Ribavarin, one arm will get the placebo and the other arm will get the Telaprevir.  The lady I personally know in one of these studies says that everyone in that study who she knows is doing well except one person who continues to drink alcohol, go figure.  Anyways, like I said, someone will chime in with more information or correct mine if I'm wrong.  God Bless  ///scroll down for the link.
