BMS79052 clinical week9

[wolfcl]

I'm in week 9 of the BMS790052 combo with Int and Rib...no placebo just dosage 20 mg vs 60 mg.I was a non responder 8 years ago. I've had the virus for 35 years, stage 4 fibrosis (bridging). Stats at the start were 1M VL, ALT 180...after 2 weeks ALT dropped to 40 and after 8 weeks is now at 27. Won't know VL till week 12.
Pain in side is gone, "fullness" after eating is gone. Side effect so far are slight headache from time to time, itchy skin but no rash yet at least.
Anybody else in the study or completed the study...anxious for my 12 labs.

  Great news so far, my week 12 lab came back undetected...
  
   Just finished week 14 and the side effects are minimal, usual "hangover" after my Interferon shot for 12-24 hours otherwise good energy.

  Hope your friend is doing well...

Hi, I am a genotype1B but, as of yet have not started a clinical trial .  A close friend of mine is on the same trial with bms79052 for about the same amount of weeks as yourself.  So here it is around week 14 or 15 and I am very interested in how you have progressed to date. I pray this letter finds you in good health and you receive this message.

good luck to you as well...I'm genotype 1B by the way.

Hi, I'm also in 790052 study. I'm going in for 10 wk blood draw tomorrow. 2 more to go. I'm starting itch and get bad rash. Was told to drink min 3  litres of water daily to flush riba build up from system. Sounds as if you're doing much better, No side pains,fullness. Must be working well for you. Lets pray we're both undectected at wk 12. Good luck....
