Question Title: Any new treatments for Hepatitis C?

Thymosin is being studied in clinical trials for hepatitis C. I know that thymosin, in combination with interferon, is being studied at the University of Cincinnati. I am enclosing a reference for physicians there who have published on the drug. You could take a look at the article. If you have more interest, you might call these physicians and ask them additional questions. They may be looking for more patients as candidates for this therapy.

The reference is:

Sherman KE. Sjogren M. Creager RL. Damiano MA. Freeman S. Lewey S. Davis D. Root S. Weber FL. Ishak KG. Goodman ZD. Combination therapy with thymosin alpha1 and interferon for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection: a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind trial. [Clinical Trial. Journal Article. Randomized Controlled Trial] Hepatology. 27(4):1128-35, 1998 Apr.
