Hepatitis C Support Group
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.
Did I read correctly tho, it's mostly aimed (for now) to treat gen 1's non-responders only?
I remember when I first posted this company endeavors a few months back, they were just going batty about landing a deal with
Duke... They must be getting attention these days along with some more "muulah" infusions to now cover both coasts!
Oh wait! They're already @ the west coast @ Stanford...
The Aussies are coming! mate!

"The phase I/II clinical trial is an open-label dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and activity of single doses of TT-034 in patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection who have failed previous treatments."
Still, I think this treatment is going to be approved in less than 5 years even though hepcat doesn't think so... ;>) ;>) ;>)
And just think of it being used in combination with the DAA's that will be approved by then!!! this virus is going to be eradicated soon yet, not soon enough for the folks that are still suffering and those who don't even know they have HCV...
This I believe will be the final knock out blow for everyone regardless of their genotype or wild virus mutations that sometimes cause drug resistance.
Hopefully we'll see that day come soon!

Henry
