No IF treatment of type 1 HCV
How long until an injection free, interferon free treatment for type 1 becomes available? What will the projected costs? The ribavirin/interferon/telaprivir treatment runs about 16,000 per month in Canada.
Depending upon the genotype, and past treatment history, it is available now. With additional and perhaps better variations coming later this year. My doc thought perhaps the end of August. Very costly but the SVR rates are high. Will be interesting to see how the insurance companies deal with this. See COSMOS study:
