on Gilead All Oral Trial, 4 day results back, look good:)

[Javi1962]

I am doing the Gileal all oral trial, I had a viral load count of 1980000 at baseline when I started treatment, this was Dec 13, 2011, and on day 4, they collected blood from me to check viral load at day 4, and my nurse was excited to let me know that my viral load is now at 418, I think this is pretty good after just 4 days of tx, anyone have any thoughts on this? my nurse said I will get my 1 week result probably Thursday and they drew blood again today to check my 2 week mark, which they expect to see at 0 hopefully, I will get that result next week, I will let everyone know how it works out.

You may want to post a new question. Great results and best of luck.

my 1 week cam back today at viral load 36
question, what is UND, is it 0? or <25, I get confused with this, so if go down 11 more points I am UND? still a rookie :)

Very good results,  I was 8 million and then 150 at first week, then 0,  I too was on a Gilead trial but w/ SOC as well.

Good luck and I'm pulling for you. I'd like to get on an oral trial myself in a year or two.

[Javi1962]

thanks, will drink lots of water, i really was not expecting this outcome for the first 72 hours, was very surprised when I got the news, I did not even think it was really working due to having such mild side effects, these drugs if they truly take me to SVR and slay this dragon, is a "silent killer, dragon slayer" in it's own right:)

Brilliant! Wishing the best outcome for you. This is so good hearing about the successes with the all orals.

Thanks again for posting the info.

[Javi1962]

I will be treating for 24 weeks, and so far the only side effect is headaches, but there bearable, other then that I feel nothing different. I take 9 pills in the morning and 4 pills at night, the pills are not really big so easy to swallow.


GS-5885
GS-9451  
Tegobuvir or placebo and
Ribavirin or placebo.

Great news! Thanks for letting us know. My specialist recently told me that Gilead had something very effective in the pipeline for which information hadn't yet been published. He said there were huge drops in viral load within days. You must be on the good stuff! Could you let us know a bit more information like how long will you be treating for and if there are any side effects?

[Javi1962]

thanks for the feedback, I am excited about it, im hoping it works, I will keep you posted on my 1 week VL results and the important 2 week one as well.

Another way to look at it, is 3.6 log drop in 72 hours.

[curiouslady1]

A 3.6 log drop in 4 days?  I would say that is very, very, very good indeed!!

This is wonderful, exciting news!
Congratulations and keep us posted.
