vertex started recruiting for phase 3

I just filled out info to see if I would qualify; however, they are not having a study done in North Carolina according to the info posted.  Therefore, I received a rejection because of the geographical area.  Oh, well

Just so you know since North Carolina has been in vertex studies before theres a good chance they will be in this one.They might not have final approval yet and is why their not listed. I found this out yesterday on the next boceprevir trial. Best to you

Frijole, go to the gov't trials and type in NCT00703118.  I noticed yesterday that there are 3 centers in Texas.  Hopefully, you live near one of the centers and can get in the trial.  I would definitely give them a call.  Let me know how things go as I am interested in this study.  Have a nice day.   Hawkbill

I do have an appt with the hep C clinic in Dallas in December -- potentially to be interviewed for this trial.  The trial coordinator told me they would move up the appointment if the trial opens sooner.  I have not heard from her so I think I will email her today.  Meanwhile I will look for that little questionaire.

Type in the following NCT00703118 and this should bring you to the clinical trial.  You are asked to fill in a few questions and submit.  It immediately tells you if you qualify or not.  I do not know who made the decision.  If you try to enroll would you please let me know if you are selected for further information?  Hawkbill

I failed to mention this trial is for those of us who failed the previous standard treatment.
