Where are these trials being held that you are referring to?
Good point on the placebo arm in Quantum, they are re-randomized.
I second that...Where have you been? Can you tell us what genotype you are?
BTW the placebo arm in Quantum is converted to an experimental arm after 6 months. In essence, the entire trial will get treatment but some have to wait.

Hellarious!!! LOL!
"On a side note, I have my SVR36 test on Friday. Cleared my HCV with just RBV and 7977, to SVR24, and they decide they want to extend rechecking out to 48 weeks. Kinda spoiled the party somewhat! Lol!.
(I suspect this is because success rates at 24 weeks were so close to 100%, they wanted to go for gold and see if they'd knocked off the relapsers as well)"
This is wonderful news. Where have you been? There have been a number of questions and concerns expressed at this site regarding SVR with all oral drugs. There are a number of people who are thinking seriously of getting into trials but are hesitant because they are not aware of this info. Can you give any further info. on the SVR rate? I for one would appreciate it immensely. Thanks!
I'm hoping to get in the Quantum study which unfortunately does have a placebo arm since there is no intf arm.
Gee, I sometimes already don't want to be around people, you mean that will be intensified? You are the only person I've seen post who had riba withiout intf. Ragey, huh?
