I also think that Westchester County Medical center is going to participate in the phase 3 trial. Dr Lebovics is the chief doc there. Perhaps that is closer to you.
Columbia Presbyterian and Mt Sinai are both participating in the trial. Dr Jacobsen is the lead doc at Presbyterian and Dr Dieterich is at Mt Sinai.
I hope you succeed in getting into the trial. Are you treatment naive? The phase 3 trial initially is for treatment naive patients. Prove 3 is full now, so they are not accepting new patients for that.
You should check with both medical centers, since they are testing many new drugs now.
May I ask where in Manhattan so I can call them and get info?
I am participating in Manhattan. I do think the teaching hospital at Yale New Haven is participating. You should call them and ask for the research coordinator in the hepatology department. They will have the latest data on the phase 3 trial that should start early next year if not sooner.
