GS-7977 and Ribavirin Clinical Trial

[HectorSF]

I found out today I AM UNDETECTABLE after 2 weeks of treatment with GS-7977 and Ribavirin.

Not bad for a previous null-responder to peg-INF and Ribavirin where after 12 weeks of treatment my viral load never went below 360,000.

"An Open-Label Study to Explore the Clinical Efficacy of GS 7977 With Ribavirin Administered Pre-Transplant in Preventing Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Recurrence Post-Transplant"  ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01559844

During screening my viral load was 1,200,000
On day 1                                         692,000
1 week                                                   581
2 week                                                   <25

COBAS TaqMan HCV Test
week 1 dropped 3.06 logs
week 2 dropped 4.44 logs

Cheers!
Happy
Hector

  Wooot!!!  Doesn't that Undetected feel great??  I have read vitamin B12 shots may help, in sustaining SVR, have you looked into this?

Hector is not SVR, he is und.
He is also awaiting a liver transplant.

I know, OH, I was thinking of the future. He wants to be 12 wk SVR before the Transplant (he mentioned in his above comment).
   I wasn't sure if vitamins were allowed, once
cirrhotic, etc. My Doctor ordered me off all my vitamins and supplements during my Tx, so I was wondering what other Txing people were doing, in terms of that~

If you reread my reply, I congrat him on his "Undetectable" status, in my first sentence. Why would you assume I thought him to be SVR, and not know he is waiting for a Liver transplant??
