Congrats.

I clicked on the link supplied by Step and found this.... it should help answer your question.

"A rapid virological response (RVR) is observed in 5660% of treatment naïve patients. Patients who achieve a RVR can be treated with a shorter course of therapy (2428 weeks) and still achieve a SVR rate of 90% or higher."

Hi again Alex. I googled thses clinical trial results for TX naieve patients on Bocrevir. SVR rate is 88% in those who were UDT at 8 weeks .

Patients Who Have Never Received Therapy 
(Treatment-Na¨ve Patients) Boceprevir. The SPRINT-2 trial 

The SVR rates among Caucasian patients were 67% in the RGT, 69% in the fixed duration, and 41% in the SOC arms, respectively.12 In black 
patients, the SVR rates were 42% in the RGT, 53% in the fixed duration, and 23% in the SOC arms, respectively (Fig. 1).12 A total of 54% of Caucasian recipients of BOC experienced a rapid virological response 
(RVR; HCV RNA undetectable, <10-15 IU/mL at week 8, this interval selected because of the 4 week lead-in). By contrast, only 20% of black recipients of BOC experienced an RVR. Regardless of race, among 
those patients who became HCV RNA negative at week 8 (57% in both BOC arms and 17% in SOC arm), the SVR rates were 88% in the RGT arm, 90% in the fixed duration arm and 85% in the arm treated 
by SOC, compared to SVR rates of 36%, 40%, and 30%, respectively, if HCV RNA remained detectable at week 8

RGT is response guided therapy  meaning they have this arm of tthe study patients complete tx based on UDT status which in your case if all goes as expected and it should for you 28 weeks total treatment. The fixed duration are had to treat for a set time no matter when became undetected guess was 48 weeks. SOC are was only on Peg/Riba and did 48 weeks.
You are on your way to SVR baby. 88% 92 % statistically negible. You are young and healthy . You got this one aced. Take care.And party down over this wonderful result.

Hi Alex. That is awesome. I only know Incevik  4 week undetectable success rate for sustained viral response and it is 92%. Victrelis ought to be pretty similar. I am so happy for you. Hope you are feeling OK. Hugs

Hi Alex,

That's great news smile Anyone who's undetectable at week 4 is considered an RVR ( Rapid virologic response ), which is a VERY good sign, Here's some more info that I hope will help.

Hey guys, just wanted to share that 4.5 weeks labs are in and YES, it's undetectable, little lower WBC levels, but RN says it's not concern. Who knows any data/stats on tx success after 4th week UND? Thanks all
