PSI-7977 + BMS-790052

[katla]

I was hoping for feedback from anyone on this trial; specifically gt 1A. I'm screening for the extension which is only 12 weeks, without interferon. One arm with and one arm without Ribavarin.

I realize it's tremendously competitive so although I appear to qualify I don't know if I'll get accepted.

Also, any suggestions of anything I can do during the screening process to improve my chances would be welcome.

Thanks.

Thank You very much  Katla. It looks as though its for treatment naive so
I don't qualify for this study as I failed Peg/Riba in 2004.The odds are that this treatment will cure you. Wishing you success!

I dont know if I was completely clear at 3 months but I would have felt fine with only 3 month dosing with 2 drugs.  


You were clear way before three months.  Didn't quite understand this sentence.

I finally got my call from U of M and she has approved my medical records and was forwarding on to the person in charge of the next step for review over this weekend. She said I should be getting a call this coming week if approved in this next step and a "meet and greet" appointment will be set up for further screening and to explain what would be expected of me and how the trials work, etc.  I'm just wondering if anyone brought a friend with them to this meeting to help remember and decipher everything or if that's not a good idea.  Also, since you've been there, approximately how long should I expect this meeting to last?

I see you're in MD; they're recruiting at John Hopkins and Mercy Medical Center (Baltimore). Here are contact numbers:

Yeah, I think so; I read the consent form. 48 wks for gt 1, 24 for 2 & 3.

Are you sure about the rescue drugs for 48 weeks?

That seems like a great trial!
