Great result! ..Some of these new combo"s are the wave of the future IMHO ..it will kill virus hard and very fast!

Someone asked about the type of drugs involved. I believe I wrote this down accurately. Telaprevir and Victrellis are NS 3 inhibitors. PSI 7977 is a NS 5b inhibitor and BMS 790052 is a NS 5a inhibitor. The theory is to administer both since they are from different classes and each will defeat the virons left behind or the mutants. In one arm NS b is administered first for about a week because it has a very low chance of developing drug resistance and then the NS 5a is added. In some arms Ribaviron is added to the two drug combination for comparison purposes.
hijack away...lol..is your appointment gonna be nine hours? I am logging off..good luck..I will post when I know more..
Keep fingers crossed for Mari too. Seriously though what is taking time I am told is that everyone is freakin over the rescue therapy so they are walking before they even start. I don't even want to think of not one but four drugs which could cause nausea. It makes me nauseous.
