Hi all, it's been some time. just looking to see if the new treatment of telaprevir, interfuron & reba started yet?  I heard different start dates. being a non responder I'm really interested in the stats. then I can decide if I will do it again

kathy - geno 1 - was und at 12 wks,  treated for 12 mo.   while on treatment my #'s started increasing  sometime after 6 months and are still rising.  suppose to see my new hep dr. at Jefferson University Hospital in sept. but I wasn';t going to keep the apointment if the meds weren't on the market and being used,  I'm looking for stats on the cure rate.

As nygirl says ....yes Iicivek and Victrelis are avail in the U.S now and  Vic in Canada.

As a non responder(depending on what type on non-responder you were the results from their clinical trials vary..
For Incivek   for relapsers ..approx. 86%,  for  partial responders ..apprx. 60%  and for Nulls" approx 32%

I am not as familiar with the results in trials for Vic...hopfully someone else can help you out there....

Hope you have success re-treating...
