ROG.VX; RO.S, OTCQX: RHHBY), will continue for the remaining 300 genotype 1 and 4 patients in the ongoing phase 2b trial of RG7128, a first-in-class nucleoside analog polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

I just found out that Pegasys is being packaged in India and that the name has been changed to Exxura 180mcg. But the I dont see any update in the Roche website or any other pages on this change. With all the problems in the Pharmaceutical world in India, I am not sure if I should go for the drug or not. What should I do? I need to get the injection tomorrow.

If the premixed interferon has been allowed to warm to room temperature for an extended period, you should probably call the manufacturer and request a replacement. Roche Pharmaceuticals maintains a toll free hot line; give them a call and discuss your situation with them. I believe proteins in the medication can ‘denature’, possibly affecting treatment outcome.

ll complete the rest of my 48 weeks through Roche on the Pegasys and Ribavirin with the Pegasys being unblinded. We have not known the dosage of Pegasys throughout the study so far, we will know now. I don't believe that Roche is done with the Study. They're just done with the drug itself. So no, we probably won't find out which arm we have been on until the study is complete and we have finished the full tx. I'm hoping to know more on Monday after I go to Hershey.

Patient Assistance Programs – If unable to access care through the previously described routes, both the manufacturers of the peg-interferon (Schering-Plough) and ribavirin (Roche Pharmaceuticals) have patient assistance programs. If a person meets these programs’ eligibility requirements, they may be able to receive the medications at a low-cost or for free.

ITMN) and Pharmasset (Nasdaq: VRUS) today announced the first results from their innovative, interferon-free regimen of direct acting antiviral (DAA) combination therapy for the treatment of patients chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV)(1). The study combined two oral DAAs, R7227 (also known as ITMN-191) and R7128, for the first time in patients. There were no serious adverse events reported during the 14 days of dosing, and the reductions in levels of HCV RNA were significant.

Ribavirin causes fetal death and deformity in lab animals. To get an idea of the seriousness of exposure, go to http://www.ribavirinpregnancyregistry.com/dlfiles/2009/RibavirinPedBirthDefectVersion1.1.pdf An OB probably knows about these issues but may need to consult with the doctor who treated your HCV. This is a terribly serious issue. Good luck.

Pegasys is from Roche company. You can get to their website. I am taking Intron which is Scerring company's. Can anyone tell me which is better?

html#_Pharmasset_and_Roche Pharmasset and Roche Obtain FDA Consent to Start a Phase 2b Study With R7128 in Treatment Naive HCV Patients http://www.pharmalive.com PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmasset, Inc.

I am going through a county program for the health care part and then I went through Pegassist for the injections and meds. The health care program I am in is a 2 year program and it is for the county I live in in CO.

It's a stretch to call the treatment meds as the 'right stuff' but yes, that is pegylated interferon you've got there. Made by Roche and typically in pre-filled syringes, 4 to a box. It should have come with a insert in the box. You should also (assuming it's standard treatment for hcv) be taking ribavirin which is made by several different manufacturers.

Schering Plough offers Pegintron & Ribavirin at no charge for those without rx coverage and who meet the financial criteria. Google Commttment to Care Program and you should find what you need.

My insurance pays a big deal, buy it is still costing me $200 a month for this at walgreens, I cannot afford this through the whole cycle of ribavirin and pegasys. Is there any way to get around this cost?

I honestly don't think I can take any more of these changes..Is there a thread where medhelp could read up on self-destructive behavior?,,,,by the way your buy on vrtx was pretty nice....did you take the quicky profit whe offered? best of luck to you and all, I think I will stay under the radar for awhile.... ps: of all these trials and studies going on, I can't wait to see the data from the roche induction study...
