BI 201335 for Hepatitis C Moves into Phase 3 Trials SUMMARY Boehringer Ingelheim this week announced that enrollment has begun for a Phase 3 clinical trial of its experimental HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor BI 201335. Viral Load, HIV Status, but not IL28B Predict Perinatal HCV Transmission SUMMARY Women with higher HCV viral load and those coinfected with HIV were more likely to transmit HCV to their babies in a recent Spanish study. IL28B gene pattern did not affect transmission directly, but babies with the favorable CC pattern more often spontaneously cleared HCV.
