New Drug May Treat Hepatitis C

There are millions of people in the United States being treated for Hepatitis C, a disease that can lead to:

• Cirrhosis of the liver;
• Liver cancer; and/or
• Death.

Clinical trials are now under way for a new drug that may effectively treat Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C-which can lead to debilitating and life-threatening liver conditions-is the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States. With so many Americans awaiting liver transplants, finding a way to treat Hepatitis C is vital.

Currently, patients are treated with an injection which combines interferon and ribavirin. Unfortunately, the side effects to this can be very serious, leading to a patient being unable to even receive a liver transplant. This new oral drug has shown to be able to kill 90% of Hepatitis C at a low concentration level. Human clinical trials are now under way for this new Hepatitis C medication.
