My husband is in the RO5024048 clinical trial and will go Monday for the wk 24 visit. At that time he will learn if he was in one of the arms that discontinue Tx at 24 wks. He achieved RVR at 4 wks and has remained negative since then. All his numbers looked good at his last visit 2 wks ago. My question is this: If he isn't in the "right group" to stop Tx at 24 wks. and has the option of continuing Tx for the full 72 wks., are there any benefits in doing so? His trila nurse told him if it were her, she would probably opt out of the remainder of the trial if he wasn't in the group that stops at 24 weeks. I think she said that because she knows the absolutely horrible side effects he's had during Tx. However, he feels some better even though he is still dizzy and fatigued (due to low HGB of 10.2.) He can do a few things around the house if he paces himself. Just wanted the opinions of some who have been in a similar situation! Thanks so much for your help and advice!
