I am doing one of these trials and was UND at less than 2 weeks and have had very minimal side effects. I journal my experience and a little about Pharmasset in my journals which you can read at your leisure by going to my profile page. There are a number of us on this forum that have done the same. There is a discussion now on HepatitisSocial about this and someone from AU has apparently also been involved in the trials. I have no idea what is going on in Montreal nor when you would have access to this type of medication. I was set to go with the tripl but got this opportunity at the last minute. I don't think I would have gone through with the triple anyway.
Just to add I read the report just came out mid 2013 looks like it will be approved this is great stuff also novsrtis is doing trials as well no interferon .Looking forward for more info on this .
Let me elaborate further, I am hearing about these trials and thathte next breskthroughis coming soonwith no interferon and cutting cure rste to 4 weeks at almost 100% cure rate . I am new to hepc and I am still waiting to trest one more test to do that is opthamolgist in Janaury then discussion with doc on what treatment to do. I am going for the vic instead of incivik. Anyway thatis why I posted merely to get feed back from someone more knowledgeable in this area. If itis true , personally I would rather wait , the triple treatment is still very very tough to do .
