I was recently diagnoised with Hep C- Geno-type 1 in August. Please tell me if there is a clinical trial in California I could get on for this cure. I am determined to fight this disease.

I. Biberstein—thanks for the salutation, but I’m not a medical doctor, and not qualified to give medical advice. I do see a current Phase 2 trial of pegylated interferon lambda that’s recruiting 55 patients, at sites in Texas and Puerto Rico (link below). I’ll check with the company to see if there are other sites open that might be more close to you in Canada. You’ll have to ask your doctor if your husband might be a candidate for this trial.

Dr. Timmerman: It’s great to know that there is a hope for killing this stubbern virus with less side effect. We are in Canada and my husband is stage 2. His doctor suggest he go for the treatment sooner than later. Is it possible for Canadian to participate in this study? How can he participate in the Clinical study

Well I’m currently on Peginterferon alfa-2a which is used in combination with another drug called Copegus(Ribavirin).The side-effect wasn’t so bad,like I was told they would be. But anyways, I was reading about this drug thats being co-developed called Zymo. I believe that this is wonderful and I hope they hurry up with it so I can get rid of this terrible virus thats living inside of me. But if not I have my hopes high that the interferon that I’m on will cure me. It’s a whole year treatment, but I have patience. I’m so bless to know that theres really good treatment out there for me. Now it’s time to get something for cancer!

Please help me. I could not complete the standard treatment because of the nasty side effects. It almost killed me. I will volunteer to be a test subject for this promising new drug. Please help.

I do hope this treatment works and it’s on the market soon. The side effects
of current treatment of pegintron nearly killed my wife.
