OUT, DAMN’D SPOT! OUT I SAY!

We just got the news today that Gilead Sciences is unwilling to accept me for the Sofosbuvir trials as my Autoimmune Hepatitis is still active and busy at work. It was a known disqualifier when I applied but I had hoped the severe autoimmune response  from the Interferon might have abated and subsided to a dull roar.

The good news is that both Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir will be available commercially in late 2013 or early 2014. Who knows? It could be a whole new family of “-avir”s will be coming in with even more promising results. The trick now is to figure out how to stay alive until then.

    I am sorry that the AI is holding you back. It took a long time to get to this point and I am sure you will be there for the coming treatments. I had hoped for better news for you.

    Folks on the East coast may have luck with Dr. Raymond Chung He was courting the Exeter HCV victims to join a HCV trial.

    that SUCKS, why did THEY even offer it to you, I bet the VA does not even get it for at least 5 years, they need to thin the heard more, I will let you know I have a liver appt at SFVA by tele video next month and I will tell them that the Gilead treatment will be the only one I will try, no more IFN for me Thank You
