Where is the clinical all oral trial that you are participating in being conducted?  Is there a contact person?  Even if it turns out that I can't participate due to distance, I would love to talk to a contact person who can connect me with a clinical trial near me.  Thanks.

BTW, what is your genotype and what other drug(s) are being used in the trial?  Thanks a million.  And best of luck.  I hope with all my heart that you are cured very quickly, with no relapse and with no or minimal side effects.  Such a cure is a dream come true for all of us.  Thanks for blazing the  trail.

Great information. Glad to see the geno 2,3s getting some attention. Hopefully they will be studying the relapsers and non-responders soon.

Thanks for the post, awesome.  Treatment seems to be getting better all the time. I'm to begin an all oral trial in the fall which includes PSI-7977.  I hope is does as well for GT1.
