Treatment time with Boceprevir (victrilis)

brianmo

I saw my doctor today and when I stated I am almost half way she said no. I started 9/22, lead in four weeks then added Vic. UND at 4 and 8. She did another VL today and Thursday will be week 12. the RGT states if UND @ 8 and 24 complete three med regimen at tw28. She said its 28 weeks from the start of adding Vic. Huh. That's not how I read it. So that means 32 weeks total. I didn't feel her confidence in this answer so what do you think?

Thanks, mo

Duration of treatment depends on HCV-RNA levels at treatment weeks 8, 12, and 24

HCV-RNA levels at 8 weeks

Previously untreated and HCV-RNA levels undetectable: Complete 3-medication regimen at week 28
