GS-7977 and Ribavirin Clinical Trial

[HectorSF]

I found out today I AM UNDETECTABLE after 2 weeks of treatment with GS-7977 and Ribavirin.

Not bad for a previous null-responder to peg-INF and Ribavirin where after 12 weeks of treatment my viral load never went below 360,000.

"An Open-Label Study to Explore the Clinical Efficacy of GS 7977 With Ribavirin Administered Pre-Transplant in Preventing Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Recurrence Post-Transplant"  ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01559844

During screening my viral load was 1,200,000
On day 1                                         692,000
1 week                                                   581
2 week                                                   <25

COBAS TaqMan HCV Test
week 1 dropped 3.06 logs
week 2 dropped 4.44 logs

Cheers!
Happy
Hector

Wow!!!  What a wonderful surprise to pop in and see your good news.  Congratulations on your UND.!  Thank you so much for sharing the details of your trial and treatment.  After all you've been through, you continue to help and inspire others.  And it's no surprise to see that you're going above and beyond to help the HCV community even more by continuing to donate blood and tissue samples after the study for further evaluation. You are awesome!!!!  

Onions in your honor!!!  Wishing you the best!!

School and an essay on Medicare??????

Not sure what that is all about, but your UND is tremendous news, hector. I see a bright shiny liver straight out of the frying pan for you.  Not the freezer (how weird that anyone would think that)!
