Hi RH

I am in the Abbott sapphire trial, for screening that is what i did.  Medical history, drugs you are using, herbs etc,  blood tests, urine sample, temperature, blood pressure, height, weight etc.  I am always amazed at the amount of blood they take.  Different studies have different criteria.  Actually the nurse told me last time I there that diabetics aren't included in this one.  The study I am doing is blinded , so I have no results yet, but I have 5 days to go to find out.  If I didn't get the drugs, then I will start the real drugs.  I think I got the real ones, and so does my nurse, but you never know.  The side effects from these drugs don't seem to bad but they are there. I was in another study with the interferon, and got booted because my white cells were unless then 1, and they couldn't keep them up and I was using neupogen weekly as well as the interferon.  But, that study had the same screening process.    I will post again, on Thursday as I hope I move to the follow up schedule. Unfortunately, I haven't had much to say.  Good luck on your study.

Hi RH, welcome!

The sort of things to expect will probably include a physical examination, blood and urine tests, maybe a heart EKG, as well as going though your medical history.   This is to make sure you meet the necessary criteria and that it will be safe for you to participate in the trial.   The doctor or nurse you see will also tell you details about the trial and ask you to read and sign an `informed consent` document.

I haven`t taken part in a clinical trial myself but if you would please `start a new topic` in this section, then other people who have been through the screening procedure will reply to you.

Best of luck with getting on this Gilead trial!  ~ Jill

Hi everyone,

With so many of our members now taking part in clinical trials, we think it makes sense to keep this section of the forum for trial participants from now on.  We`ve changed the name to `Clinical Trial Participants` and anyone who is on a trial, or about to start one, is welcome to start a new thread (click on `Start a New Topic`) here and post their details, updates, and progress.  All member will still be able to post replies here, of course, if they wish to do so.

If any of you have news items or new drug info you`d like to share, please could you post it in the renamed `HCV News` section (previously called `News and Events`).   If anyone has a question about clinical trials, please could you post it in the `General Discussion` section.

Many thanks from the admin team.... that`s Malcolm (mallani), Tim (hrsetrdr), Alan (news), and myself, Jill.

ps - The clinical trial threads will no longer be `stickies`, as there are so many of them now!  smile
