If during your last treatment with what was considered SOC at the time (PEG/Riba) you were slow to respond ,however were stil
[email protected] and stayed UND. through your course of therapy and subsequently relapsed after medications were stopped you would be categorized as a previous "relapser"
Previous "relapsers ", even with cirrhosis, although not studied in very large numbers in the Tela trials still had excellent SVR results.
It would have been the ideal result obviously,as you know, to have been UND.during this treament @Wk.4 ,however week 8 is still considered a good result and your Hepa has given you good information about relapsers results.
I would not put too much stock on the result of your first attempt with just INF. as the odds were extremely low to succeed for everyone (approx. 25%) from the get go.
Again..as your Hepa has advised you have an excellent chance of success.
Wishing you well the rest of the way..
