Yes come to think of it. I found it by google search (something like- "12 week SVR vs 24 wk SVR TMA") and 2 hits with what appeared to be the same address came up; one rejected my entry and the other opened. Sorry, forgot about that. Anyway there are others out there also based on this French study of almost 600 pts across genos 1,2,&3. but this one has some practical graphs and includes data on 4wk SVR. Results- 24 week relapse in all pts was 28.8%, 12 week TMA was 28.8%, 4 wk TMA SVR was 28.1%. So...12wk = 24 wk as does anything beyond 4 wks for all practical purposes provided the use of TMA (@= 10 IU or less) for under 12 weeks.
