Pharmaceutical companies pushed for the extension of drug patents, data exclusivity, biologics exclusivity, and stringent copyright terms in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Though they didn’t get everything they wanted — and are throwing a hissy fit demanding the TPP be renegotiated — is their claim that R&D justifies these demands accurate? Just exactly how much does Big Pharma pay for R&D of a new drug?
A drug funded research team claimed R&D costs average $1.32 billion (in 2011 dollars) per drug. An analysis of this study finds the cost is closer to $75 million.

I really understand your disappointment and if it were me I would feel discouraged also.
But guess what! Your next VL bloods will be awesome UND! Keep the hope and maintain the dream. Hang in there chicky. So far I don’t think I have read of anyone on the forum who has not achieved UND. 
Hey London
like Pat said I too know that disappointment at the 4 week mark my VL was still detectable and since then I have not had another VL done until my treatment ended on the 24th of this month. There was nothing more I wanted to see than UND especially after so many here are UND at the 4 week mark. so like you Im feeling a little deflated and anxious.If it turns out post tx that this wretched virus is still hanging around then I will treat again until such time I do get rid of it, its good to have those options for us. Im going to have my fingers and toes crossed for our next VL to come back with the magic UND
Looking at what your results are up until this point the medication is doing its job and you still have 5 weeks to go to slay.

Heya Dan I knew there was someone who was finishing around the same time as me and it had totally slipped my mind as to who it was
Best wishes for your test hope you get the magic UND.
Im still waiting to get an UND – at 4 weeks I was <15 and log 1.08 so it was a good start. REALLY wanting to see an UND with this next lot of results. The odds are in my favor but its hard not to get into that overthinking mode eh.Ariel
great to read and see your post on your thread Im really happy for you especially after all the BS you have had to wade through.Thanks Pat
there is quite a few of you not too far away from the end from what I've read on the other threads, lots of SVRS all coming up through the ranks.
