RE: Questions to ask GI specialist regarding trials

Hey Liam

One of the questions I would want to know is what are the lab results min. and max. that would disqualifies you out of the program and if you were to fail on the first blood test do they allow a re-test to requalify.   Also do they have multiple arms within the study.

I was in a Abbvie study in the US and can help you answer some of the basics.

I'm really sorry to hear that you relapsed. I go for my 4 weeks EOT blood work on Solvaldi and Olysio tomorrow. I'm really worried about relapsing. I was treated with peg interferon and riba in 2005. I was UND EOT and relapsed some time between 3 and 6 months. Have you heard of other relapsers on S/O?

Thanks Malcolm, as usual very good info.  Before starting my S&O tx, the relapse question was asked of my doc.  Her answer at that time was retreating with S&L in the fall.  Her answer now leads to more questions?   confuse

I have my second interview with the specialist regarding the Abbvie trials this week, are the any questions I need to ask him? I thought I had seen a lits on this site but can't seem to find it.

He is a very busy and direct guy so I want to make  my questions to the point...if this all makes sense. 

Thanks

liam
