For those people interested in learning more about the new drugs that may be used with SOC to treat HCV, I would like to recommend the following video by my doctor Noah Terrault from the UCSF Transplant Clinic here in San Francisco.
This video was made 3/12/09. So there may be more current data available now when this talk was given, but I think the overall topic of the new drugs are covered well and in depth. It also illustrates that a new era in treatment is coming with great advantages and brand new sets of challenges (resistance, protease cross resistance, increased adverse affects).
