Genotype 4

[peggy156]

Hi, is anyone in or know of a clinical trial for genotype 4 currently recruiting.
Thanks.Peggy

I believe I was told by the Dr that 24 out of 24 G2 and G 3 all went und at 12 weeks - Based on past ratios they expect G 1s to be in the 80% svr range with G 4's doing a little better. Who knows, its a crap shoot. I know many of the top business experts are buying Pharmasett based on promising results of 7997.

How come "they" are hoping 90% SVR for geno4 with 12wks  based on what data ?
just curious.....

[peggy156]

I know, but they are hoping for a 90% svr for G 4's with this. At this point I think I will give it a shot. I'm still talking prematurely, I don't know yet if I am definitely in.

It is a phase 2 trial and
the purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of PSI-7977 .
If you decide to go with it make sure you understand all the possible limitations and
outcomes.

Seems to be the only one that includes G 4s

[Bali05]

Sounds good.

  1- Recommended by my Hep Dr.
   2 - 12 wks vs 48 -
   3- PSI 7997 is being highly touted

Hi Peggy, I'm type 4 also and about the only one available that I have found is,

PSI-7977 With Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotypes 1,4,5,6 (ATOMIC)

NCT01329978 is the study. Do a search at www.clinicaltrials.gov

I actually have been in contact with the study it does look pretty good.

I dont think there are any but Bali is a geno4 and he will know better when he comes on. Most trials I believe are for geno1.
