Great news for those GT3. without cirrhosis SVR in 90's.  (real world hopefully at least high 80's)Those with cirrhosis tx naive 58%SVR tx exper 69%. For those with cirrhosis it appears SOV PEG/INF RBV for 12 weeks still has the best % SVR for those who can tolerate the meds.

It probably won't be too long before guidelines are updated to include Dazlinza.

wow!  I waited a long time for that, thinking I was going to need it.  I am blessed in that I reached SVR on 24 weeks of Sol/ RIBA, but how wonderful for other Gt3s that they will not have to go 24 weeks and will not have to do Ribavirin!

So glad this is approved.

hang in there, GT3s.  it won't be long before it is on the market!

What a blessing!

Blessings, all.
