I know.  That is why I said "theoretically".   The whole study here is theoretical actually.  The study in question is a Phase IIa and the study doc repeatedly used the term "theoretically".  That is why it is a research study.  That is why we get a stipend for these things because we really don't know.  Yep, I know I am preaching to the choir but there could be someone who reads this who might find it informative.  As for me, I am still waiting to see if this will be the time I give up my "40 year old virgin" (treatment naive) status. ;)

This has some value for members of this site because, theoretically, they can take these new drugs in the future even if they have failed the others.

You are possibly getting a little ahead of the data..with this statement.
As we speak the drug companies are doing resistance testing on  patients that have failed triple.  and to date there is no conclusive data on resistance .. or cross resistance.

Robin,  I am mentioning Telaprevir and Victrellis because they belong to a different class of drugs.  These other, newer drugs belong to two different classes, different from each other and different from the ones on the market.  This has some value for members of this site because, theoretically, they can take these new drugs in the future even if they have failed the others.  Also, the information I have been giving on this thread is not just taken from the the clinicaltrials.gov web site, it is taken from my consent form and from discussions with the study doctor.
