Re: study vs clinical trials

Cyn,

It will be nice to have someone in the group that can tell us about the PEG

Combo treatment - Keep us informed - we're doing the Rebetron combo now and

its working but you never know how long that is going to last and keep

working without having to go off of it because of low platelets or 1,000

other reasons - thanks ahead of time and good luck with the Peg treatment we

have been hearing so much about.

Hi Claudine:

Sorry about the disinformation!

I'm already a non-responder to

daily high dosage INFERGEN,

did the treatment last year.

However, that was a " study " vs.

an actual clinical trial; therefore,

the patient was required to pay

some of the costs involved.

The end of this month, I begin

a randomized clinical trial

protocol of PEG " combo " for

non-responders.

There is NO cost to the patient

and the drug company pays for

everything, even though I have

insurance.

Thanks for writing to the " doc "

about our rising numbers.

Take care, Cyn
