Atlantic Gastroenterology Associates Research New Hepatitis C Treatment

Atlantic Gastroenterology Associates, based in Egg Harbor Township, N.J., is one of 20 clinics currently studying a new treatment for Hepatitis C, according to a report by The Body.


The new treatment is designed to be less invasive than the current interferon therapy. Instead of a 24 to 48 week course of injections, the new treatment is being administered as oral polymerase and protease inhibitors taken over a 12 week period.

The new treatment has thus far shown a 95 percent cure rate, 15 percent better than the interferon therapy cure rate.
