Anyone else in the Gilead 12-week trial with sofosbuvir & GS-5816 (without ribavirin or interferon)?  The initial enrollment was 140 patients and I would like to connect with or hear from anyone else who may be in these trials.  Thanks!

Some people may be genetically programmed to feel better after taking placebo pills, while others may only heal with real drugs, suggests a new review of existing research.

Alico I am admin on a Hepatitis C Family and Friends Group, which is where I saw the trial. I will try to post the link, at my mums now and barely have time online, but will get back to you.

I have been reading about placebos!

Ok Its true there where no placebo's with my trial. The nurse tells me they do it this cause people don't come back after they find out and the trial is 24 wks for some. I signed an extra paper where they did a dna thing and they watch me for 3 yrs. I mean heck its all free why not. They said near the end of the 3yrs they do another fibroscan, my insurance won't pay for it so why not get one for free.

Hi caz,

Humm!!! Don't know the answer... Maybe one of the supplements... Have you restarted any.. ?
Strange!!!
Re harvoni and GS 5816... Where have you heard of this.. Online or at your hospital???
If the latter... Are they recruiting in uk??? Then..
If so am have I missed the boat... Again!!!
Do you happen to know if its for geno 3 or just geno 1.
We spoke before I believe re your hospital and the trial you were on.. But I was too late and out of catchment I think... Although in the city they take from far and afield I believe!!!
Any news .. Let me know.. You can pm me on the uk forum if that's better...

Dariop gets his news in may!!!
Take care...
Speak soon.
Alico xx

Thanks Alico, they are now trialling this 5816 with Harvoni, seeing if 6 weeks will cut the mustard! This is certainly the one to watch, hope you get your shot soon xxx
