Gilead Rollover Study

[OC]

Here is my history:
I was a Null Responder to Standard of Care back in 2002.

I was in this Clinical Trial (NCT01435226) and was considered a relapser, finished 10-17-12. I didn’t clear the virus at 2 weeks (baseline 11,100,000 to 65), so I went on the Rescue Study with 2 DAA’s, Ribavirin, & SOC. I cleared the virus at week 16, but went back and forth between undetected and <25 for most of the time. I was undetected at 48, but after 1 month the virus was back.

Here is a link to the thread that I posted, http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-C/Gilead-study-GS-US-248-0131---phase-2-all-oral/show/1610899?personal_page_id=2264261

I just got a call from the study coordinator saying that Gilead has a rollover study, that consists of GS-7977, Peg, Riba for 12 weeks that I can participate in.

I think I'm going to go for it, it’s my understanding that Gilead will only use the 7977 with Peg/Riba for Genotype 1’s.

What do you think?

NICE you and OC both on Sovaldi. That makes me want to try it. Congrats and best of luck. I'm a Grade 2 stage 2-3, GT 1a, phenotype TT and my Dr thinks I should wait for a few months to see what the landscape looks like.

Went in for my six month test On Thursday and low and behold they told me that the gold standard is now 12 week to be considered cured if you are SVR at 12 weeks!!' Who knew hard to comprehend after 15 years it is gone. It appears there is a 1% Chance of relapse but pretty rare. After the six months results Gilead will ask if I want to continue for three years with a bi annual blood test and physical. My doctor who is very conservative wants to do a sonogram every six months to watch for liver cancer. He says that with fibrosis you run a small chance of developing liver cancer but with careful monitoring until the liver regenerates if it happened and was caught early is fully treatable. What a journey. But boy does the landscape for a full recovery look good for everyone with this disease.

Congrats on the great news.  What a great way to start the year!  I go back in March for imaging and then have an appt with my hepatologist in May.  Hoping to hear that there is a new option for me - hoping that 2014 is my year for a cure!
