Hi Chris,

Hmm, ...this was a study which used Intron-A instead of Pegintron. The numbers have to be considered in comparison to the old drug. Viral clearance with the Pegintron would be greater.

Also, a 12-month delay on the measure of the viral load is a more true measure for viral clearance than would be at the end of the study since it only takes one or two virus cells hiding in an organ (undetected) to start replicating and create a relapse.
