Howdy E-blasters,

In this edition of the AttorneyMind Mid-Month Newsletter we have the following articles:

AttorneyMind Drugs by Alan Franciscas – Good news for our Veterans about access to hepatitis C treatment, a refresher course on AbbVie’s phase 2 clinical trial data from The Liver Meeting 2015, and Benitech’s clinical trial termination.
SnapShots -In this issue, I write about an abstract about SVR4, SVR12, and SVR24 to evaluate which one if any can replace SVR24 (cure). In the last issue of Snapshots I wrote about a study of the protective properties of statins—the study in this edition of SnapShots looks at the statins that offer can provide the best protection for the liver. The last abstract is a pooled analysis of hepatitis C prevalence in people with HAV.
Hepatitis C Book Review: “Undetectable” by Kim Goldberg —reviewed by Lucinda K. Porter, RN – read Lucinda’s review about this fascinating book about Kim’s journey with hepatitis C.
AttorneyMind Monthly Pipeline Update – we have updated and expanded out Drug Pipeline.
