    The cynic in me says that it’s a great way to publicly claim to be helping a whole nation while simultaneously getting research data for not too many $$$ and no significant impact on Gilead’s commercial markets.

    But best wishes to the Icelandic heppers for their luck.

    G3a since ’78 – Dx ’12 – F4 (2xHCC)
    24wk Tx – PEG/Riba/Dac 2013 relapsed
    24wk Tx – Generic Sof/Dac/Riba 2015/16 relapsed
    16wk Tx – 12/01/17 -> 03/05/17 NS3/NS5a + Generic Sof
    SVR7 – 22/06/17 UND
    SRV12 – 27/07/17 UND

    Yes, see the Glossary definition of “Compassionate Access”

    http://fixhepc.com/forum/glossary.html

    But still, if you take away the well deserved cynicism that should be 1150 off the 185,000,000 need to treat, so now it’s only:

    185,998,850

    And the total treated with Gilead medications will jump from 613,000 to 615,000 in the last 2 years.

    At this rate the job should be done by the year 2618

    YMMV

    HI GAJ yes you are right, I guess Gilead were in need of some good press….

    rumour has it that their reputation has been a little bruised as of late.

    As for the magazine yeah its very good – its a national publication and you can find it in every liver clinic, most GP,s waiting rooms and outpatient clinic in New Zealand.
