Would you personally care to stay on the regimen twice as long (and incur the additional costs) to get from 94% to 97% SVR? Is this even a statistically significant difference? Not to mention clinically meaningful?

Why not treat all patients for 8-weeks? Yeah there's a statistical difference and it's meaningful.

IMO: 24 weeks of treatment can be ruled out for everyone except cirrhotics, HIV co-infected, and perhaps a few billionaires.
