Most published oral combo data to date has been in GT1. The idea NS5A inhibitors are weak (or won't work) in GT3 patients could be based on studies done as a stand alone class in combination with peg/riba. This overlooks any synergistic effects the class may have when combined with a nucleotide or a nuke+riba.

not a class effect - idix has an ns5a active in gen 2/3 (some gen 2 have inherent resistance that they claim can be detected w marker)
