I guess it was triple therapy - Intferon, Ribavirin, and the Daclatasvir. Lots of pills.

Hello Liz 

That is fantastic news, way to go with your UND.

BTY did you say you had triply therapy with Interferon Lambda ?

Or was your arm just two drugs?

Matt

I was on a BMS trial for 24 weeks (the AI452-020 study) testing either Peg Interferon Alpha or Lambda, and either a protease or a polymerase inhibitor and Ribavirin.  . I had to go off the trial in Dec 2011 (I started in July) due to another, unrelated, health issue. I was pretty tired in the beginning but that was the only side effect I had, except for my hair falling out a little. It actually was a breeze, leading me, and the nurse I saw for blood draws, to think that I was getting the Lambda (BMS 914143).

 

Well, I was. And I got Daclatasvir (BMS 790052), and of course the Riba. I basically had no side effects. Aside from keeping track of the d@$% pills, it couldn't have been easier. I would totally recommend either.

 

And, best of all I am UNDETECTABLE! And have been for almost 2 years! Yeah, baby!!!
