Just wanted to share my happy news. I haven't been active on here, mainly because I didn't feel I had much to add. I basically had no side effects and no symptoms of the disease when I started. I was on the Abbvie Topaz cohort. Anyway, got my results back today from what should have been my 12 week checkup but the holidays turned it into 14 weeks. Clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I go for an ultrasound next week, a 24 week checkup in March and more follow ups for the next 4.5 years but I so happy.

 

Congratulations on SVR14, hippiechick!!   It`s great to hear how well you`ve done on this Abbvie trial, you must be overjoyed!!  biggrin

Thanks for sharing your good news, we`re pleased to hear from you any time so do keep in touch.

Enjoy being hep C free...it`s a wonderful feeling!!

Hey Mike:

It is a genetic thing.  CC is the IL28b allele.  CC is the best to have for folks on Interferon tx; they usually attain RVR which means they respond well and fast to Interferon and are more likely to SVR.  

There is also the CT and the TT.   I have CT which means I am in the middle for Interferon sensitivity.

 Thanks Isis. I had also wandered about the 'CT' in your sig as well as Malcolm's. I assumed the 'cc' in hippiechick's post meant compensated cirrhotic until I read the last line of the very first post in this thread (moved by Jill), and also the post I quoted.

Sorry hippiechick for going off topic. I still say your 2 week labs are awesome and I hope I can follow your lead! smile

 

 Totally not off topic. I feel like such a newbie that I wrongly assume you are all more knowledgeable than I. The cc designation actually kept me out of the last trial, that's the only reason I even have that info. And there's no Interferon in this trial but they tell me it is the best responder to the drug.

That is wonderful!!! 

What is the length of your trial?? 

So many great new meds. 

Sounds as if yours (and you as well) is a winner.

 The trial is 12 weeks, went in today for my 4 week blood draw and should get those results Thurs/Fri. At this point I assume they are only monitoring to be sure there is no relapse activity. I'm over 1/3 of the way and time is flying by!

  FMI - Just curious, what does the 'cc' after 'geno 1a' mean? I didn't see it in the Forum abbreviations list.

Great news, hippiechick! It amazes me how quickly liver enzymes can recover after the virus is eradicated, even after years or decades with Hep C.

It looks like another successful DAA combo will be in the tx pool in the near future. Good stuff for all!

Excellent result after only two week, and look at how your liver enzymes have dropped!  Congrats to you, hippiechick!

What a boost!  smile

(PS - I`ve joined both of your threads together so that we have all the information about your trial in one thread.)

Abbvie Topaz II

I did a search but didn't see anyone discussing the Abbvie Topaz II clinical trials. If anyone else is on this I would be interested to see how you're doing. Took my first dose July 21. The regimen is:

ABT-450/Ritonavir/2 ABT-267 75mg/50mg/12.5mg (2 per day)

ABT-333 250 mg (2 per day)

5 Ribaviran

I was worried about possible side effects (the Dr. said I might be itchy, bitchy and/or yellow, haha!) but so far I feel great. Slight insomnia but I am used to that with menopause I still walk an hour a day and swim 3 times a week. No fatigue, no nausea and (so far) no jaundice. Maybe a little extra itchy but nothing to cry about. The bitchy part, well...

I have never had symptoms for Hep C, it was discovered during a routine physical. I understand that many of you sought treatment because you were showing symptoms such as fatigue but this really came out of left field for me. After my first doctor visit, when the specialist asked me if I intended to seek treatment, I realized I had some research to do. What kind of Dr. tells you that you have a life threatening disease and then asks if you want treatment?? Long story short I found a clinic in San Francisco doing trials and I tested. Didn't qualify the first time but went back last month and qualified for the Abbvie Topaz cohort.
