For those of you who don't know me; 50 year old white male, HCV geno 1b, first tx with Peg+RBV but had a viral breakthrough at Week 32.
For 2nd tx, entered into Vertex Prove 3 trial last May. Lucked out and got into the group who received VX950+Peg+RBV for 12 weeks followed by Peg+RBV for another 12 weeks. Went UND between Week 1 and Week 2. Remained UND throughout treatment and at post tx Week 12 and post tx Week 24. Now somewhere around post tx Week 37 (assume that I am still UND).
I'm scheduled to go in for a 48 Week post tx PCR in early October. My question is has anyone reached 48 Week post tx on VX950? If so did your SVR hold up?
The classic definition of SVR is UND at 24 Week post tx, which I got. The reality of another PCR (hopefully the last) made me wonder if anyone else has already achieved the post tx Week 48 milestone with SVR holding up?
The percentages are low for relapse under my situation but a PCR introduces the question and let's the "worry rat" our of his cage again.
Honestly I've been off enjoying my SVR, family and life without HCV. Looking back my two treatments seem like bumps in the road.
I hope my PCR remains UND and wish the same for all of you.
Thanks,
miked
