what is the news with replicor?

2013 and they are all awfully quiet. I think it is time people for a massive online action against these companies. What in the hell are they doing not releasing cures now.  At least.to expose them.  People are not aware of hbv or how much we suffer and what is really going with with these companies  how they go about saving lives.

We dont need more Baraclude or simvastin to remedy it. We need cure or best available which they have but wont release it hiding behind eugenics laws that violate human rights - and delay cures.  

I am just saying if we will be silent nobody will help us.  This  forum should be about this. Taking an action and making these companies accountable. And also raise public awareness.  So in 2013 lets all make a push - those of  us that want live.

I meant that it is good that this substance stimulates interferon. For us whatever new they try is a good news anyway. Our own body interferon may be more effective then synthetic they give us. And may do less damage to the body so revovery after treatment will be faster.

Of course they could move faster with this. They give higher doses to cancer patients already. So why not just based on their doses give us the same amount of imiquimod? After all with nucs they give us doses that were developed for HIV.

As for side effects we should not worry to much about. The damage that hbv causes slowly  is the major side effect that ruins life and its experience. We are not really living with this you know.

So as far as me I am ready to try anything provided I believe in this.

GS 9620 I wanted to try and was on the list of to be participants last year. Waited six months. Then they forgot about me. Then I was told only TDF takers were included. Things they say on the phone differs somewhat to what is in fine print.

Everything is very impersonal at how these companies look at us and the medical staff that does these trials. That is how I feel based on my experience. Yet there is a rule and a law that makes all this acceptable medical practice.

Nobody is really after hbv cure. If they were Replicor stuff would be already integrated into therapy. working out the details how long to keep person on interferon or zadaxin can be worked out as they go about treating people.

They say that there are doctors out there that are not afraid of regulations that have access to new agents. If this is the case we all like to hear from you.

Not sure for what reasons but seems like at this point Replicor isn't really attracting big companies. Maybe it's because of the cost of the med, maybe they don't have enough data or maybe their even a fraud company (certainly hope not).

But trust me if Replicor works, big pharmas would be in LINE to buy them out. In a few years patents are expiring so whoever wants the $1 Billion per year market share for Hep B, they have an easy opportunity.

Seriously will all the patents expiring, the money is in curing patients with Hep B. also the market for people who would be willing to try a cure is WAY bigger than people willing to go on antivirals.

well there is also some truth to that brand name companies pay off smaller companies not to release generics.. so anything can happen. After all as you say, this is a Market.

As for not enough data for Rep9. There is not enough data on the safety of NUCs that got quickly approved. That does not worry you? :) that they don't stop the virus on the cellular level and they approved these drugs based on the HIV data they had.  

Here we have something that really brings down the surface antigen fast, and combined with interferon or zadaxin causes svr in people. How much more data is needed?  Think about it if they were developing technology as fast as they release these drugs we would still be without Internet.

replicor showed a remarkable result. It is not fraud, it is all documented. Who can show better at this point?

The question is why they are not going public with this, why they are not releasing it, why not taking patients that want to try it? That is what we should be asking. And why nobody from this company comes here to this forum and speak with us?

HepB cure development Cannot be operated like a military classified project you see.. And that is how these companies run it. Doesn't that bother you?
