Hi all,
I would like to ask please, if anyone ever hears anything about how
soon Telaprivir will be available or where ...to please contact me.
I went through 6 months of Interferon/ribaviron treatments for hep-c
genotype 1a, with stage 3 liver disease... and was told I was a
non-responder.

I'm frightened my liver will cross over to stage 4 before I can receive
treatment....
the waiting and wondering is maddening.
Cindy

Which is closer to approval Telaprevir or Boceprevir? Which is more
promising as the third ingredient of the treatment regimen?

Telaprevir is closer to approval than Boceprevir, but they appear fairly equal
in effectivity to this point. In spite of the obvious need for both, the
approval process is almost glacial in speed. I think it'll be almost a year
before Telaprevir is approved...

Cheers
