Albuferon protocol

I am enrolled at the Mt Sinai NYC Albuferon clinical trial.  My question is:  I just completed week 9.
The results of my PCR was blinded at week 4.  If at week 12 I am neither undetected or do not achieve a 2 log drop in my viral  are the duty bound to give me this information or terminate or recommend termination from the study?

Who is your doctor at Mount Sinai conducting the test, and who is the research coordinator running the study? I'd be interested to know (I'm being treated for this at Mount Sinai myself, but not in a study).

Thanks,
Mark

"VX has the study info... "

Read your consent form carefully. If it's not covered in the consent form, then pose those very specific questions (and others you may have) towards the study doctor and/or nurse. Good luck...
