Incevik, Undet 4,8,12

No incev rash, Anemia primary problem, procrit, neupogin needed fairly early, transfusion, dose reductions, now on full doses with 6 weeks to go to end.
I hope the doctors we are seeing are doing this. You can publish!
thank you for doing this--
start date 9/12 (with 1 month lead in)
VL at start-1,000,000
Incivek
genotype 1
grade 2 stage 2
treatment - 4th try---non responder - 35 years have had hep c
VL - week 4 - UND
week 7 -dose reduction of riba -- from 1000 to 600
Started on neupogen 9/13 -- 2 X per week
week 8 neupogen dropped to 1X per week
rash for 2 weeks cleared with hydrocortisone 2.5% after 2 more weeks
anal itching -2 months - cleared after using prep H & using only aveeno to bath
exhaustion (think from meds but better after dose reduction & neupogen 1 X per week
big thing now is I look like I am 9 mo pregnant -- think am lactose intolerant & have been using dairy mostly for 20 mg of fat
red blood is 9.4
I am updating my stats:
Start Date: 09/26/11
VL at start: 14,400,000
Incivek
Diagnosed July 2011
Genotype 1
Grade 2, Stage 2
Treatment Naive
VL - week 4 - detectable but under 43 (lowest the lab goes)
VL - week 8 - UNDETECTABLE
Severe internal rectal pain (felt like shards of glass passing).
Severe nausea and some vomiting starting about week 7-8.
Increasing severe fatigue.
When I first saw you were doing this I got to work on putting up a journal with the details, but here's a short and simple version:
57 year old female
Genotype 1 HCV
Stage 4 cirrhosis
Non-responder on interferon monotherapy in late 1990's
Slow responder on dual therapy in 2005, eventually UND but relapsed 2006
Now on triple Tx with Incivek, started 9/23/11
Starting VL 9,800,000
2 week VL 236
WBC now 1.4 but Abs. Neut. 650. Will need rescue if it drops below 500
Horrible nausea, but helped by Zofran
Extreme fatigue, slight relief 1x daily with ritalin (was already taking for fatigue before beginning Tx.)
Lots of UNDs in there! Nice, very nice. It would be useful if genotype were included b/c we all know 1 is the hardest to treat. Most other are basically going to be cured. The UND rate in the spreadsheet seems to be higher than the avg success rate from trials with Incivek.
start date 11/7/11
Triple w/ Incivek

Thank you sooooooooo much,
Fri, Your welcome to check my trackers and all my information I chart. Even my journals. My word what a job you have taken on, good for you for being active in this. Holler if you have any questions.
PS, I did have one more lab done at 10 weeks, which was at the ER. HMG 11.8 WBC 2.5 No Riba reduction yet. Just started shot 11 tonight w/ INC.
Blood Pressure still high
I'll play...success story and not so successful
Gilead study with soc, GS9190 & GS9256..I 1Took all four drugs and was randomized at 16 weeks to stop treatment, as I was in arm 1

as of 11/2/11 still und
Praise the powers that be!
Thank you for all the wonderful information you are getting together for the benefit of others.
Husband was not so lucky. We believe he received placebo and soc, had to quit at 23 week because of severe side effects and the virus has returned. We are weighing our option at this point. He is still recovering from severe side effects and won't consider any further treatment at this time. Was on same study but probably different arm. He did go und at approx. two months in, but virus returned in less than a month post treatment. Please send good vibs his way.
Very cool thing to do. Thanks frijole. Here is my info:
