Good luck - do you know which trials they are talking about? They have been having such great success with people who previously did not respond that it's a miracle.

I certainly hope one of the miracles is for you!

Depends on the trial.  Usually for an HCV treatment trial, they give you enough meds to last until the next visit and you administer the drugs at home.  You bring the empty injection pens and pill bottles back and they resupply you every time, always enough to last you until the next visit , with an extra shot in case the pen malfunctions.

For the trial I was in, they also gave us a Palm phone to record our dosing in.  Annoying, but probably a good reminder for some people.  It rang if it did not receive your dosing data on time.
