Sovaldi and GS-5816
« on: November 13, 2014, 01:47:54 pm »
Today I was in Antwerp finally for the screening session to join a trial with this medicines.
They explained everything, one on six is gonna get a placebo, but if it's you, you get the real meds after the trial for free.
Only 600 persons on the world join this trial and I am one of them!!!!!
You only get the results from the lab after 12 weeks, but off course you can do lab tests yourself....
If my bloodresults from today are ok, the trial starts 8 December.

I'm genotype 4 with fybroses fase 3
I just can't wait!

Excellent Results Across Genotypes for Sovaldi and GS-5816

 

 Gilead Sciences’ Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) and GS-5816 cured about 95 percent of treatment-naive people with genotypes 1 through 6 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) who did not have cirrhosis in a recent trial. Aside from achieving excellent pan-genotypic results, the combination is also notable for successfully sidestepping the use of ribavirin. Results from the randomized Phase II GS-US-342-0102 study were presented at the 49th annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) in London.

The 144 participants were randomized to receive the polymerase inhibitor Sovaldi plus either 25 milligrams or 100 mg of the pan-genotypic NS5A inhibitor GS-5816.

A total of 94.8 percent (73/77) of those participants taking the lower dose of GS-5816 achieved a sustained virologic response 12 weeks after completing therapy (SVR12, considered a cure). Meanwhile, 96 percent (74/77) of those who took the higher dose were cured.

“The results of this study of [Sovaldi] with a new pan-genotype NS5A inhibitor demonstrate the curative potential of this combination,” Gregory T. Everson, MD, a professor of medicine and director of the section of hepatology at the University of Colorado, Denver, and principal investigator of the study, said in a release. “The combination was not only effective across all genotypes and patient subgroups, but also was well tolerated. These results warrant additional study in future trials, with the hope of providing a potent, pan-genotypic combination with few side effects and a high chance for cure.”
The most common adverse side effects, occurring in more than 10 percent of the participants, were fatigue, headache and nausea. None of those enrolled in the study stopped taking therapy because of side effects. Plus, there was no evidence of laboratory abnormalities related to the treatment.

Congrats Omeco,

It's a crazy feeling isn't it? I had to do it with S/O and then with Harvoni. Keep the positive mindset and know we are all going to beat this beast!

Hi Omeco,

I'm glad you got approved for the trial. You have a bunch of friends here pulling for you!

Worse case scenario, and that's if you get the placebo, is that you have to wait 12 weeks for the real McCoy. In the scheme of things, if waiting 12 weeks for treatment is the only hurdle, bring it on!

Best, wishes, Mike
