"Over the weekend Gilead presented results from its combination of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir that cured between 98 and 100 percent of patients within 12 weeks."
Sign petition "pleading" with Gilead Sciences to collaborate with Bristol-Myers. Sofosbuvir combined with daclatasvir effective in genotype 1, 2 and 3... and no ribavirin!

I would say that for HIV or HCV whichever company comes out with a cure first, will rack up. Every other company's sale of HCV or HIV drugs will go to zero. Use logic instead of cynicism.
Hi, Margaret. I hope the petition has some effect and that this new cure is allowed to proceed with trials and to approval.
However, this would not be the first time that a better treatment was suppressed. There was even a vaccine that was having successful trials a few years ago and was then never heard of again. Wall Street comes before lives.
As for the FDA and CDC, those people are in the same revolving door as everyone else in government. If they finance or approve medicines that cause big pharma to lose money, they won't get those lucrative board seats when they leave their jobs in Washington. Which way are they going to vote?
When you consider that interferon and ribavirin were not developed for hepatitis but rather were already lying around as HIV rejects, and that the current hep C epidemic has been caused by the medical profession through untested blood transfusion and blood fraction products together with their long-term refusal to provide intravenous drug users with disposable syringes, you know that the whole health system is corrupt to the core.
As with HIV, there will probably never be a good cure for HCV. If there were, the epidemic would go away. Where's the profit in that?

If the current treatments are making BIG pharma rich, Why would they change?, Healthcare for profit!, Especially in America!
MeWithC - Have no other choice. This is THE CURE without ribavirin and interferon that we have all prayed for! We cannot just let Gilead Sciences walk away from this. We have launched a website at www.HepC-Cured.org in hopes of creating greater awareness about this urgent situation. There is a direct link to the petition on the site. Please keep telling everyone you know and even people you don't know about this. This is our only chance.

New Updates Guys!!!!
1) "Gilead Announces Early Sustained Virologic Response Rates for GS-7977 Plus Ribavirin"
http://www.gilead.com/pr_1684792
And this as well:
2) Boehringer Ingelheim came out with the new drug combination BI 201335 and BI 207127. Phase II Trials are over, and Phase III Trials are about to begin. Pray for the best!
"The outcome demonstrated that 68% of all participants, including those with the most difficult to treat HCV type genotype-1a non-CC, achieved a viral cure after 28 weeks of treatment. Most significantly, 82% of patients with the most common HCV types in Europe and Asia, i.e. genotypes-1a CC and -1b also achieved a viral cure after 28 weeks of therapy."

I am tired just like most of you because of this disease but we cannot stop (no matter how tired, or how sick we feel) until Gilead Sciences and Bristol-Myers put "patients" FIRST. This is no different than if they had the cure for cancer, the world would be outraged! And the world will be outraged by this as well.
Petition update: 7025 have signed. We urge each of you who have signed to find ONE more person to sign right NOW. There are over 170 million of us and we must act now!
GS-7977 (sofosbuvir) + BMS-790052 (daclatasvir) = CURE for HCV (without ribavirin OR interferon). And we want this life-saving combination and we want it NOW!
