Thanks Will , exactly what i was looking for.
Is there a Trial with naieve patients? never been treated before?
If you mean a trial with naive"s that did 24 tela...no .The prove 1 and 2 were both naive"s tela 12 and then prove 3 was tx. exp. where there was a tela 24 arm...
Best ..

It hasn't been tested otherwise, the results would be the same on tx experienced versus tx naives, no doctor worth their salt is going to prescribe it and your insurance won't pay for it anyway.
not on a boat, not on a goat, not on a train, not in the rain,
not in a trial or in a red sweater
24 weeks just isn't better!!
