Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Willem, I remember that post about protease inhibitors well...I even researched it after you posted the information. I believe that the answer just might lie in the use of these protease inhibitors...but it will takes years before they will be available to us. They are so cautious over the use of new drugs that often everyone with the disease has died off before the " cure " is released for use...it's probably all part of the masterplan to help the pharmaceuticals keep their patents on the older, less effective treatments. It is fortunate that you live in a country that is not as controlled by greed as this country seems to be. You had access to the peg long before those of us in the states has access to it too if I remember correctly. Tatezi <who is way behind in mail> protease inhibitors Hi gang.Some three months ago I wrote about these inhibitors,I was the first to mangene them maby claudine too but I don.t count her as a member,she.s Chief Executive.In this mail I stated that in trials conducted in Geno Type 1 relapsers the viral load was reduced, in 24hrs, to a level that only a very sensitive test could detect the virus.If you use Google you can read more about them,also type AASLD,there was a conference in Bosten,1 Nov.2002,where they also discussed the protease Inhibitors.I think our Chief -Chief -Executive Doc. attended this meeting also.Maby he could comment.So there.s light on the end of the tunnel for people who do not respond to the classic treatment inwhich the virus is not directly aimed.Willem.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 If that be the case, it could be too late for many of us... Princess Protease Inhibitors They are studying many different protease inhibitors and anti- fibrotic meds for us. Keep in mind that unless we can get into a study, it will be 5-10 yrs before these things are available to us. If these companies are just now being allowed to study them, it's possible it may be even 3 yrs before they get to the Human Study stage. These are the drugs of the future for us. Protease Inhibitors have been used for HIV for quite some time and work real well with their immune system problems. The few that have been looked at for HCV have not done so well so far. It's good news to see the FDA allowing more studies to be done on more of these new drugs. The drug makers always tout the word " cure " when trying out their newest toys so be careful with that one!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Thanks everybody, for all the great information! I was just so surprised to hear about this on the news, and they only give you like, 30 seconds of information. I remembered thinking after I heard about it, I'd better be verrrrry good to my liver for the next 10 or so years until this stuff is available.
