Avatar m tn SGP) reported that results from a planned interim analysis of an ongoing Phase II study of boceprevir, its investigational oral hepatitis C protease inhibitor, in 595 treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 were presented at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL). The ongoing study evaluates boceprevir in 28-week and 48-week treatment regimens.
Avatar f tn That said you need to check out your Rebetol dose. Something is strange with your dosing. Generally, 800 mg Rebetol is the lowest dose given, while 150 mcg PegIntron is the highest. May I ask how much you weigh? Are you genotype 1? An easy way to look at if you are getting the correct weight based doses is to do these calculations: 1. Calculate your weight in kilos (your weight in lbs divided by 2.2). 2. Divide your ribavarin dose by your weight in kilos.
Avatar m tn SGP) today reported that a planned interim analysis of a Phase II study showed that boceprevir, its investigational oral hepatitis C protease inhibitor, in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin markedly increased sustained virologic response (SVR) rates with 28 weeks of therapy and nearly doubled SVR with 48 weeks of therapy compared to current standard of care, peginterferon and ribavirin (control group) for 48 weeks.
Avatar m tn Among subjects with detectable HCV-RNA at TW8 who had attained undetectable HCV-RNA at TW24 and completed at least 28 weeks of treatment, the SVR rates were 66% (45/68) in VICTRELIS-RGT arm (4 weeks of PegIntron and REBETOL then 24 weeks of VICTRELIS with PegIntron and REBETOL followed by 20 weeks of PegIntron and REBETOL alone) and 75% (55/73) in VICTRELIS-PR48 arms (4 weeks of PegIntron and REBETOL then 44 weeks of VICTRELIS with PegIntron and REBETOL).

Avatar f tn Between copegus and rebetol which one is more effective for the treatment? Because copegus make me so weak. I prefer rebetol if they have the same effectiveness for the virus treatment.
Avatar m tn m going to have a nurse come to thehouse as was offered to teach me and husband how to do injections and timing for oral meds. Scared about sx since I have to teach to maintain ins. coverage. As long as I'm upright and breathing I'm gonna do this! You guys are informative/ helpful. Any suggestions? TIA.
Avatar f tn s not really going to advance your solution to your immediate heath problems if you focus on the connection with your treatment five years ago. Maybe it was but what difference does that make to fixing the problem today? What will advance a solution is to find a supportive and smart doctor, maybe an internist, who shows you respect and works hard to solve your health problems.
Avatar f tn Pivotal Study in Previously Untreated (Naive) Patients The primary objective of this pivotal study, known as HCV SPRINT-2 (HCV Serine Protease Inhibitor Therapy-2), is to evaluate the efficacy of 28- and 48-week regimens of boceprevir (800 mg TID) in combination with PEGINTRON (1.5 mcg/kg/week) and REBETOL (600-1400 mg/day) compared to a control of PEGINTRON and REBETOL alone for 48 weeks in previously untreated (naive) adult patients with chronic HCV genotype 1.
Avatar n tn 06 that just completed a 60 week treatment of Peg-intron and Rebetol. I was undetected at 12 weeks and stayed undetected through out the treatment. Unfortunately, the virus was detected 6 weeks after I stopped the treatment. I would really appreciate your thoughts on what you think would be the best course of action at this point. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
400410 tn?1201399165 Lola, I'm so sorry to know of your relapse. I can only imagine how hard this is on you to get to this point in treatment and get this sort of news. I think Jim gives you good advice, as usual. I hope things work out for you as you continue to investigate your options. I do have a question...I'm wondering if your Rebetol was weight-based and what your daily dosage was, if you don't mind me asking?
1711722 tn?1356487554 • PegIntron + REBETOL for four weeks followed by VICTRELIS 800 mg three times daily + PegIntron + REBETOL for 24 weeks. The subjects were then continued on different regimens based on Treatment Week (TW) 8 through TW24 response-guided therapy (VICTRELIS-RGT). All subjects in this treatment arm were limited to 24 weeks of therapy with VICTRELIS.
1084115 tn?1385228589 Your doctor has created his own hybrid by using Merck's Victrelis but replacing Merck's rebetol/pegintron and their dosing recommendations with the correct dosing for pegasys/copegus if it was used with Incivek. Personally although this is off the beaten path I don't see a problem with it because many people experience less side effects with pegasys but the efficacy is similar.
Avatar m tn VICTRELIS-treated subjects who demonstrated interferon responsiveness at TW4 achieved SVR rates of 81% (203/252) in VICTRELIS-RGT arm and 79% (200/254) in VICTRELIS-PR48 arm, compared to 52% (134/260) in subjects treated with PegIntron/REBETOL.
Avatar f tn not sure there is much of a difference but i have heard pegasys has less side effects.
Avatar n tn My treatment nurse set me up on the program with Pegassist (Genentech Pegasys system): 1-888-941-3331 Peginterferon and Ribaviron Commitment to Care (Merck PEG-Intron system): 1-866-363-6379, opt 1 Hope that helps.
158241 tn?1237719523 The two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies will evaluate the efficacy of boceprevir in combination with PEGINTRON(TM) (peginterferon alfa-2b) and REBETOL(R) (ribavirin, USP) compared to standard of care with PEGINTRON and REBETOL alone. The Company said the two pivotal studies will run concurrently and are projected to enroll a total of more than 1,400 patients at U.S. and international sites. Comment drofi: The study designs seem to be professional.

Avatar m tn If your problem is premature ejaculation, there many effective solutions available. Ejaculation is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, so what you need is something that blocks sympathetic activity in the genital area. Alpha blockers can do the trick. I'm not a doctor but I suggest you try an alpha blocker called VIGAMED (oral phentolamine) 30 minutes before sex. VIGAMED is not Viagra, it is an entirely new treatment. It can improve erections and delay ejaculation.
