the new hep c treatment
« on: April 14, 2014, 04:59:48 pm »
Hi again, it's Mr. Kim.
Somewhere around then end of this year there is a new tx coming out named Gilead tx. It's a single pill with two medications in it. The meds in it are Sofosbuvir and Lediposvin, the meds may not be spelled right as I am copying from my wife's handwriting and it's not to good. Anyway the new Gilead tx has milder side effects. I am going to see the Hep c dr in about a month and will discuss with him the pros and cons of tx now and tx with the new meds. As I said before I am bi-polar and the less psych side effects the better. From my apt with him I hope I can make a good decision as when to start tx.
Kim

Hi Mr. Kim,

You are correct that there is a new combo coming from Gilead. A decision on their application before the FDA is currently expected in October but this can change so keep watching Hep for the latest.

More information about the combo's phase III trials was just released at a Liver Meeting in London called EASL. Here's the link...
