Boceprevir Phase 3 trial - Peg question

[foofighter]

This trial sounds pretty good...don't know if I will get in, but thought I would put the info I have out there for others contemplating treatment/trial. Here is what I know :

• Weight based riba with Peginterferon alfa-2b 1.5 μg/kg
• Rescue drugs allowed (and they can use them preemptively!)
• Dose reductions are the trial doc's decision, not dictated by the study (nurse says doc is very aggressive at my location)

My question is regarding the Peg. Is it enough? I have seen 180 in many discussion or is 150 the right amount for the alpha 2b?
