| Response from Dr. McGovern
 He is referring to STAT-C - specifically targeted antiviral therapy for hepatitis C. There are going to be multiple classes of drugs with activity against hepatitis C that should be unfolding over the next two to ten years. They will include protease inhibitors, polymerase inhibitors, cyclophilin inhibitors and others....As of now, they will be combined with interferon and ribavirin. | ||||||||
