Information on trial studies

In March of this year I completed my 48 week treatment, viral count was undetected.  In May, I had another count taken and it was 395.  I was told that the treatment didn't work and would have to be patience until another med was released.  This was not satisfactory to me, especially after the hell I went through for those 48 weeks.  So, I began researching the net for trial studies.  And, surprisingly enough, one was discovered.  At this point, my count was 2.9mil.

I entered a 2 month study which required my attendance each and every week.  I lived 275 miles from the institute but was firm on my commitment to beat this monster inside me.  The first four weeks I had to daily inject an unknown solution into me.  There were no placebos in this study.  On week 5, I was given daily ribivirin and continued with the daily injections.  This lasted for another four weeks.  My count dropped to 125,000 so the sponsor for the trial study has begun paying for my new 48 week treatment.

My final trial visit was today and I was told that they now have more new trial studies but not enough people.  If anyone is interested, contact:  Advanced Clinical Research Institute, 1211 W. La Palma Ave, Suite 303, Anaheim, Ca  92801  [phone].   www.advancedtrials.com

Best of luck to all of you

This particular study paid for my attendance so, not only did the new drug seem to work, the new 48 week treatment is free, I also got paid to be in the study.  For me, this is a win-win situation.

And what was the study drug? Good luck, by the way--

They would not give out that info, since it was a trial study, part 2.  Thanks for the good wishes
