HCV vaccine
Does anyone have info or links about the HCV vaccine that is about to go into clinical trials? The NP at my doc's ofice mentioned it on the phone, and she said that I may be eligible for the trial.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Zazza: Thanks for the links. I don't know if this is the one that she was talking about, since I am in the USA (NY) and am a relapser with cirrhosis. She mentioned this in passing on Thursday, after telling me that they will not be participating in the upcoming VX phase3 trial until it includes relapsers/nonresponders. She then talked with the trial coordinator at Columbia/Cornell about my case, but we have been playing phone tag since then. Hopefully, I'll have more information on Monday.
Jackied: I also was unaware that a vaccine was "on the radar." I thought that this approach was still in the lab stage.
