Gilead study GS-US-248-0131 - phase 2 all oral

[OC]

I was screened today for the Gilead Protocol Number: GS-US-248-0131, Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT01435226

http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01435226?term=gilead&state1=NA%3AUS%3ACA&rank=13

“A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of GS-5885, GS-9451, Tegobuvir and Ribavirin (RBV) Compared with GS-5885, GS-9451 with Tegobuvir or RBV in Treatment-
Experienced Subjects with Chronic Genotype 1a or 1b Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection”

This study also has a sub study (rescue therapy) that involves:

If the study doctor determines that you are not responding to the study drugs, you will be offered additional medications to treat HCV. If you decide to participate and receive the rescue therapy, you will receive GS-5885, GS-9451, PEG and RBV for up to 24 weeks, followed by up to 24 weeks with just PEG and RBV depending on your response to study drugs.

I will know shortly if I will be participating in this study.

What are your thoughts on this trial since this is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study?

Congrats - I just saw your post.  I needed to take a break from the dailiy reading of Medhelp.  If I read your last post correctly, then you are now done!  That is great news.  Looking forward to the SVR posting.
