Hi Valeri

That is great news that you are free of this. I took a quick look and we are born the same year from the same country and I am pretty sure we took the same drugs so it would be nice to get the same result as well.. lol Take care Terry

Congratulations!!!

Looks like you are officially SVR. 100% SVR at your trial site sounds really good to me. Gilead is going publicity wild, but there are other meds (companies) that are doing really great in trials. I wonder when Abbott goes for FDA approval as yours was a Phase 3 study. Merck, my study, is still in Phase 2. So glad you did not get placebo.

Hi All

Just an update from my 6 month post treatment.  Results were undetectable and I feel good.  My study nurse mentioned, that 6 of us were in the trial and were lucky enough to all get the drugs and now 6 months post treatment and everyone doing good.  Good luck to all, and I hope this is soon available to all.

Thank you Matt, I hope you are right about the anemia.  I am so tired, ha and now only my 2nd week almost finished, and I am just feeling so darn crabby.  I really have to bite my tongue.  Lucky I have only had a few headaches.  I have no idea why I am crabby, work is the same, everything is the same. I have no reason to be crabby and if I got the real drugs, then I should be happy, which I would be.  My chest hurts when I walk at lunch, and I told my friend not to walk so fast.  At least by evening, it is better and I can still do the treadmill... with effort. At least Easter is coming and some days off.  good luck to you too

Hi and welcome, Valerie, wishing you the best of luck this time round.  s We`re always pleased to hear from people on clinical trials and will be very interested in following your progress.  As you`ve already seen, we have other trial members here you`ll be able to compare notes with.  

I`m moving this thread to the `Clinical Trials` section and making it a `sticky`, which means that it stays at the top of the section along with the other trial threads.   ~ Jill

Valerie 

I have been on these Meds for almost six week and if your body is like mind,  it will adjust and get used to them with less anemia and less high Billirubin levels.

I suspect that this treatment is whole lot less problems than the current SOC, so be very thankful as I am that you made the cut. I was very stressed to be selected, thinking I would not qualify.

What was strange for me neither the Doctor nor my nurse told me what to expect and how to eat or drink or any tips on how to deal with issues.  Learned a lot more on my own and from the other members of our forum. Most of us on the Abbott Labs Meds agree that it is important to keep hydrated especially during the first two weeks.

Just my opinion , no facts

Matt.  (on the Turquoise II open label version trial study)

Thank you all for your responses. I just started my 2nd week. Unfortunately, I will not know for 12 weeks, as there are 2 arms, but either way I will get the real drugs, I just hope sooner. The nurse told me this morning, that we can guess but that is all. She does not get results for the liver enzymes, or bilirubin. However, I know one drug can raise it and make you yellow, I am ok with that. I know the Riba can make you anemic, etc and I think it is affecting me. I can barely get out of bed, I mentioned that to the nurse and she said they will tell her that. I wanted to see a dr today, because I wanted to ask if Alertec is ok Hopefully a dr is around next week. This is my 2nd trial, the first I got booted from because interferon, caused my white blood cells to go less than 0, so I needed neupogen weekly and after 24 weeks, i was less than 0 and could/should have rolled over into the trial with the real drugs, but they didnt want me having neupogen for another 24 weeks, so i got booted. I was choked, but oh well, at least i kept my hair lol. The liver drs at the clinic all said I was their first patient using that. I think they should have pursued it. So, they thought this Abbott study was must better for me. I will check and see if I can find what the other people say about this study. thank you all

Hello & Welcome Valerie

The forum can really help you with your journey,  with many members having great insights into the ups and downs of the treatment. So don't be afraid to ask 

I am on one Abbott Labs Trial programs called Turqouise II. The difference is our study is for cirrhotics and is a open label study, which means that we know the drugs are real and get real time results on our progress. You can read about our journeys on our threads

Hope all go's well

Matt

Hi Valerie,

Welcome to the Forum. We have 3 Forum Members doing Abbott Trials. If you check the Section marked Clinical Trials, you will see the names and details. From memory they are 'Matt Chris', 'Luv2ryde' and 'Balagan'. They seem to be doing well, and will probably answer your post. Good luck.
