99% is a very impressive SVR rate. At least they are trying different things. I give them credit for trying to shorten treatment.

This is not good publicity for Merck.  It is the second info since their very successful trial that was presented last year.  Looks like their publicity dept needs some new people.  The excellent results from their other trials needs to be posted with this information.  In my Merck trial (without Sovaldi) the SVR rates were around 99%.
