Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
I was lucky enough to get accepted into the Abbott Study M11-646. It is the same one that you are talking about.
I just completed my 6th week and am Undectable- with 6 more weeks to go.
Ask your doctor about the M11-646-study - or the Phase 4 which is a new phase coming with the 3 Abbott drugs ( Abt 450/r, Abt 333 and Abt 267 no Riba.
Riba is some very nasty stuff - 2 patients have already quit due to the side effects. And it is kicking my butt - but it is a small price to pay for SVR.
I am registered on every trial data bse in Toronto so hopefully I will get a call at some point or keep compensating until they get to market next year.
Good luck on the next six weeks Ones and every success eh?
Hi Shadow! That's a very lovely hat!
