FDA Briefing Teleconference on Boceprevir and Telaprevir: Monday, May 23
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) invites you to participate in a briefing to discuss two Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) for the treatment of hepatitis C, boceprevir and telaprevir, that were discussed at an April 27 - 28, 2011 meeting of the FDA Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee. DAAs represent a significant addition to the treatment approach for many patients. However, the dosing regimens may be complex, and there are treatment issues about which health care providers and patients should be aware.
The teleconference will be held on Monday, May 23, 2011 from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM EDT. The toll-free number is 888-324-7513. The passcode is FDA.
Following a brief introduction by Margaret Hamburg, M.D., Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, the briefing will provide an overview of the clinical trials, primary efficacy, safety, and complexity of dosing regimens. The briefing will consist of presentations by Debra Birnkrant, M.D, Director, and Jeffery Murray, Deputy Director, Division of Antiviral Products, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), followed by an opportunity for questions from call participants. The briefing will be moderated by Richard Klein, FDA Office of Special Health Issues.
A replay will be available for 30 days, beginning approximately one hour after the briefing call ends. To hear the replay, callers can dial 888-324-7513.

I just tried to call and listen to the replay.  They told me they were sorry but that was the wrong password and they would be unable to give me the correct one.  Any ideas?

Rather hard to get any other work done today as all my head can think about is "what will it fell like to be cured from this stuff after 40+ years and knowing about it for last 14 years".
