Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
I was on an experimental drug and was taken off after six wks (Telepravir) When you go through these studies you dont know anything. everything is blinded till after 24 wks, the only thing you know is after so many wks if they take you off or not. There is only one group that knows if they have acturally the real thing. I dont know if I had a placebo or not I will find out in about a wk or 2 I also did this pill with pegus and copegus, I tried thes 2 on my first tx and didn't respond, then I tried infergen and copeg and didn't respond so dont know what's next. If you never txed before I would try that route first.
