They are going thru another study as to how many times a day Telaprevir should be taken once a day or twice.  I was offered to apply for the study, but I am going to  wait for the approval from the FDA.

I believe the general consensus is sometime towards the middle/end of next year. They have filed for "fast track" approval - so that means it should only take about 4x times longer than it really should, instead of 8x longer.
