pegasys clinical trials

Has anyone heard of or taken part in Tegobuvir and/or GS-9256, in conjunction with Pegasys & Ribavirin clincal trial? I am going to be interviewed next week for this trial and naturally apprehensive about it. I searched the forum and could not find any info or feedback on Tegobuvir. I was told that I will be on either one or both of the clinical trial drugs (plus the Pegasys & Ribavirin) and I would be selected for either 16, 24 or 48 week group.

Is anyone doing clinical trials? I think i would go anywhere for relief and / or a cure!

21 with the drug r05024048.I did do alot of research on clinical trials before I agreed to be in a trial.The care you get in a clinical trial is far better than what you would get outside of one.I do not agree with people who say if your biopsy isn`t bad then you should wait.It is a proven fact that the worse the virus gets the less chance of a svr.If you treat when the virus isn`t strong the better your chance of getting a cure.

so I know a little about the process of clinical trials, and the process of assessing patients that meet criteria to be accepted. I have a patient who has bee through the traditional therapy of Ribovirin and Pegasys, and was not able to complete the entire 26 week proably 22 or 23 weeks. At any rate he did have possitive viral load after a time after treatment.

hi i am to start the tx. . pegasys and ribovirin and i called BCBS. i am to pay 50 % of the ribovirin, is there a generic for these meds. will they work the same.

in monotherapy, in combination with short-term immunotherapy and in combination with a complete course of Pegasys™ with the latter regimen resulting in the maintenance of long-term SVR in 80% of patients for greater than 6 months after all treatment is withdrawn. “Our data suggests that eliminating surface antigen will be a critical part of a multi-step process that will be necessary to achieve a high SVR.

you could also check out the clinical trials in your area, as there is no cost to participants for drugs and i think travel too. if you live near a teaching hospital, your chances might be even better. here is the website: www.clinicaltrials.

Can someone offer a link to these trials? When I go to clinical trials.gov, the info is really hard to sort through. Thanks and congrats to all who have cleared on these new meds. Also, does anyone have any information about when these drugs will be approved?

41 pegasys injections have been injected . PCR RNA stillL Showing 139000 IU/ml VIRAL LOAD. After 24 injections it was 80000 IU/ml. in spite decrease, viral load has been increased. Pegasys is not responding. Is there any other injection/ medicine available for quit treatment . Geno type is 1b.(***@****)92-0300-5304561 please help me .

well there is clinical trials for something called vx-950 or vertex 950 that is used in combination therapy with the already existing interferon or ribaviron/ roche brands are pegasys and copeagus there has also been advances made with a already approved drug called Fluvastatin in conjuction with interferon and ribaviron that studies show have a better success on lowering viral load.

have telaprevir and/or boceprevir been approved by the fda or are they still in clinical trials? i have taken pegasys for 48 weeks and relapsed 2 months later. would either of these drugs be good for me...i am genotype 1a. i had terrible side effects from pegasys. :( also, I have epilepsy and hypothyroidism...I'm always tired, I don't eat right and often depressed...are these related to the hvc or are these things i can control by myself.

They are at Saint Lukes Hospital and have a research group that conducts clinical trials on new hep-c meds used in conjunction with the standard combo therapy (interferon and ribaviren). As part of the trial, your meds and doc visists are free. There are hepatology groups or individual hepatologists nationwide who are involved in these same clinical trials. Get on the phone and start calling in order to find a trial close to your location. Good luck and welcome home.

hi -- a few weeks ago there was a guy who posted here looking for user-friendly clinical trials sites. He was getting medical help outside of the U.S. I can't find his post....so thought I'd write a new one hoping he'll find this. I found this site today and thought of him. http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/pns/patemail.

I am looking to find treatment I have no insurance and I see a lot of Clinical Trials that you can sign up for an be notified by a recruiter, but my thought is how do I know if they reputable. Who can I contact to find out?

t know if I can post this or not, so will not post the actual information yet, but I received a magazine from a very good hospital in my area and in it was information about the ovarian cancer clinical trials that they are doing and a number to call if someone is interested. I live in Central Florida. So, if it is ok to post that info, or if there is anyone on here that would like that info, you can always send me a message.

Its a great resource. I also recently found a site that matches patients to trials, http://trialx.org.

So because of this I have called Duke University to see about getting in their clinical trials which I could start right away. I would like some feedback good and bad but in the end I realize its my decision. This waiting game has put my life on hold and affecting me financially only. thanks everyone for your response. I enjoy and respect all of you.

I have been involved in (runnung at a clinical level) numerous research trials over the last 10+ years. The extensive consent form should be very specific to what the liability the facility will hold in case of complications. If you have questions there should b a specific # to contact near the back (an independant institution called a review board). If you are uncomfortable asking your MD these questions, direct these questions to the review board.

I have been on a clinical trial since my diagnosis in 2006. It is one of the avastin trials.

My onc. has suggested I look into clinical trials for my colon cancer. How do I go about this and where do I start. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just took a look at the link and it looks like they do have clinical trials to determine that...just not in Canada...*sigh* (That I can find anyway).

I keep hearing people talking about clinical trials but I haven't been able to find out about any. I've called my gastro doctor and other doctors that I have and no one knows anything about them. Do any of you know of any clinical trials for Telaprivir?

Hi Guys I thought this may be a good place to put this up so all may see and pass the word on...these are some clinical Trials coming up for any who want to be a part and test out the newest in Medications./treatments ....you can visit ClinicalConnection.
