I am entering this trial, start next Tuesday, this is all oral treatment, no Pegintron, I have psoriatic arthiritis and they do not allow me to take Peg injection, so I hope this all oral treament works.
does Anyone have any experience with this new trial?
any feedback on this new all oral gilead trial will be much appreciated.

study nurse said I am going to be tested at day 3 for progress?
and I should be und at week 2? this is at least what there looking for.

any feedback on this trial or anyone on this trial now, would be appreciated.

I know curiouslady is doing an oral trial, too, though I can't recall the details.

What I can tell you is when I saw my hepatologist last week, he mentioned the new oral meds as being the way of future hep C treatment. He was excited.

You''re fortunate to have this opportunity.
Good luck,
OH

today was my first day taking meds, GS-5885, GS-9451 and Tegobuvir or placebo and Ribavirin or placebo.

to start my viral load was 1.5 million
geno 1a
bx stage 2/2

I will let you all know how it goes, would be great to get this SVR with no PEG.

You might try a search and type in Gilead and sort through the post. There are some folks here that have recently started all oral trials and maybe you can find them this way and send them an email. Sometimes we get lost in the forum as there are many post to sort through with limited time. Best of luck and keep us posted.
