http://clinicaltrials.gov/ is the best place to start
Go to the website and in the search area type in HCV or Hepatitis C and your state.  There seem  to be a few different locations in Tennessee that have some ongoing and recruiting.  Gilead is recruiting  for a trial combining Tegubovir with another PI and Tibotec is recruiting as well.  If you live near any University Hospitals, I would call them and ask.  Good luck

Maybe....Start with the company that makes the medicine, Vertex. I think that would be the best place to get in touch with someone about trial, hope this helps, Hope mom gets the hlep she needs, May GOD Bless
