Ten patients got the two drugs together with interferon and generic ribavirin. All showed no sign of the virus 12 weeks after the treatment was over. One patient had signs of virus at 24 weeks and was again virus-free in another follow-up test 35 days later.
Of 11 patients who took the Bristol-Myers combination alone, five had cleared the virus from their bodies at the end of treatment. Four remained virus-free after 24 weeks.
Without interferon and ribavirin, it doesn't seem BMS-790052 and BMS-650032 combo worked that great.
