Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi everyone! Yesterday I started screening(takes about 4 weeks) for (2) clinical trials at Cedars here in Los Angeles. The study will last 76 weeks. (Follow ups are included) The first one is a randomized double blind test using Telaprevir along with the PEG_INF and the ribavirin. There will be 3 legs. There will be 650 people all together worldwide. Cedars will have about 20 people. The second trial which means 1 extra tube of blood when it is taken . This trial is for genetic testing. This will be used to test genes related to Hep C and the response to certain drugs. They can use it for 15 years they said. Of course I have signed documents giving them permission to do so. Whatever helps their research! Yesterday the gave me a physical, took blood and a EKG. I will hear from them sometime next week if all is ok. If it is ok I will then have to have biopsy. We will see as I became so very ill the last time I was on treatment and could not continue. I will keep you all updated as I know more info. Hugs to everyone!
