New England Journal of Medicine Publishes PROVE 3 Trial Showing Telaprevir-Based Regimens Significantly Increased Sustained Viral Response (SVR) Rates in Patients Who Did Not Achieve SVR with Prior HC

Prove 3 shows they got Non responders up to 50% SVR
It also states that they will file with the FDA later this year. A little sooner than I thought.
This is good reading

Sweet. Seems to be significantly more TX discontinuation due to side effects in the Telaprevir arms though.
The cure rate improvement is nothing short of **impressive** however.

Thanks. It was nice to see the numbers again. ;-)
~ 40% for us non responders that didn't drop 2 log. Beats < 10% previously.
This or TP with at most 8-10 years expiration date. I'm betting on Telaprevir with my fingers and toes crossed!
Help for many of us is on the way...
