Are you really feeling safe?? What a naive position to take.
deJesus today, "7977 will be the next Viread of HCV".
also said, "telapravir, bocepravir, ribavirin and interferon will be completely gone by 2018."
It's not the 2018 that is worrying, it is that there will be all oral regimens out there that will completely replace our drugs in the not too distant future. This is a reality.
de Jesus is right. I sure hope that the laughing at this news is nervous laughter and not confident laughter. Looking at the future of HCV, we aren't in a place to be cocky. Right now, maybe, but VX-222 isn't going to cut it for feeling confident about owning the HCV market in the future.
Our nucs are a loooong way off. Good luck hanging on til then. We need one ASAP.
