Info on Vertex Trials

by Aim1, Jan 07, 2009 05:50PM
Not long ago, you couldn't check in here without one or two entries about the progress of VX-950 (Telapravir).  Now I can't find much at all.  Does anyone know any info on Phase III?  Also, they have 2 newer drugs in the pipeline: VX-500 and VX-813, but I can't find anything on them either.
One last mention about trials.  I stumbled onto a page which shows quite a few trails on alternative solutions such as Milk Thistle and SAMe.  I thought that was interesting.

I think there is just not a whole lot of new news yet.  We heard alot not too long ago when the prior trial ppl hit the 6 month post tx mark and SVR'd.

The current trials are still ongoing.  In mine-the tx naive-I was the first enrolled and just starting week 24.  Some others here are a few weeks ahead and either just finishing or heading for the 48 week mark.  

There is another group in the no placebo trial.  They are  a few weeks behind--I think.  

I'm guessing early Spring is the first we will be hearing of the VX-950 Phase III 6 month post labs.  

The Boceprevir (sp) trial is looking very good and there are also a bunch that just started that trial.
