Hi thanks for the reply and the info,
Greatly appreciate it. I am stage 2-3 fibrosis genotype 1a andI had gone through rebutron interferon combo thereapy almost 5 years ago and it dam near killed me. 6 months in i had a rash so bad they took me off it. A real dissapointmnet for my levels where almost nill. Hair fell out eyes went bad had to get glasses. Took me years to get back from beyond. I love that movie. Ok so what is the new stuff (Teleprivir) and the outcome of the experiments any data on it?. From the little i gathered it is good for non responders but i have not found any data on the out come of the trials??
How are the side effects compared to the old stuff i took?

In Phase I trials, researchers test an experimental drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase II trials, the experimental study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase III trials, the experimental study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the experimental drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase IV trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.

'Prove 3' is simply a nickname that Vertex Pharm gave to it Phase 2 trial for VX-590 (teleprivir). The 'real' phases of drug trials are the purview of the FDA. Companies can give them names if they wish but the outlines of trials are according to FDA rules.
