Kevin, at a conference nearly 2.5 years ago, Vertex (maker of Incivek) reported that Victrelis is active against genotype 4. Unfortunaely, we don't know a lot about Victrelis for genotype 4 though. Also, you may be eligible for clinical trials testing new drugs for genotype 4. Go to clinicaltrials.gov and search for BMS-790052 and BMS-650032. You may not qualify, because of your cancer history, but you should definitely inquire.
Hello,I am seeking better info on hep c genome 4.(which i have)I have basically been on hold regarding treatment,waiting for my docs to say that the new meds can be used for genome 4 patients. I have been told that the rareness of genome 4 people means lack of testing results for them. Previous cancer issues(now cleared) indicate that the new drugs would allow me to have a safer and shorter course, but Im at a loss for answers. Any info you could share would help.
