There a few folks here on the trial and from the sounds of things it seems like it's a good one.  

I was on a trial myself (a different one) but would highly recommend it as you get a high standard of care and constant monitoring...

Also, you have a greater chance of achieving SVR (considered a cure) than by just treating with SOC (standard of care protocol with currently available meds).

Take a look around the site and check out Rockerforlife's posts as he is on the trial also, he'll no doubt be able to offer you more info.

All the best!

Epi :)

Welcome to the forum, I just started the trial last week.  Google NCT00705432, and some links will come up.  You can go to clinicaltrials.gov, and run a search there as well.  Also you can go to the search box on your upper right and type in boceprevir and recent threads will come up.  good luck with your decision
