Naive/Slow-responder.

Im a RVR now with my current TX with the boceprevir trial for slow responders,they say that in previous trials if you were naive as opposed to a slow responder before starting the boceprecvir trials,your odds of SVR were greater in the navie arms....my question is:

Me, being a RVR,even tho im in the slow responder trial,will i still be in the 82%-85% SVR @ WK like the naive arms....is being RVR...the "ticket out"

RVR time and time again appears to trump all. So the answer is hopefully, yes. That said, you're in a trial for a new drug so unless/until that data is developed there is no definitive answer to your question.
