Gilead study GS-US-248-0131 - phase 2 all oral
I was screened today for the Gilead Protocol Number: GS-US-248-0131, Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT01435226
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01435226?term=gilead&state1=NA%3AUS%3ACA&rank=13
“A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of GS-5885, GS-9451, Tegobuvir and Ribavirin (RBV) Compared with GS-5885, GS-9451 with Tegobuvir or RBV in Treatment-
Experienced Subjects with Chronic Genotype 1a or 1b Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection”
This study also has a sub study (rescue therapy) that involves:
If the study doctor determines that you are not responding to the study drugs, you will be offered additional medications to treat HCV. If you decide to participate and receive the rescue therapy, you will receive GS-5885, GS-9451, PEG and RBV for up to 24 weeks, followed by up to 24 weeks with just PEG and RBV depending on your response to study drugs.
I will know shortly if I will be participating in this study.
What are your thoughts on this trial since this is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study?
peace

You are in the home stretch. Will keep the prayers going for you. Try to beat the heat - stay indoors with the a/c and drink lots of water.
just received week 36 results, feeling slightly better now that the last 4 shots of interferon have been at 135 mcg. i'm concerned about whether the doc should give me helper drugs so they can raise the interferon back to 180 mcg. i have 12 more weeks to go.
doc says he isn't concerned with my latest test being <25
week 10 - <25
week 12 - <25
week 16 - undetected
week 20 - <25
week 24 - undetected
week 36 - <25
80 more days if all goes well.
