I called the Vertex hotline and emailed them also and they told me where the clinical trials will be held near me. I'm probably too late for phase II, but I hope to get into phase III in the fall. I hope I get the real stuff and not a placebo. My doctor's writing me up a referral for the clinical trial. I'm only interested in the Vertex one and not the others. They have a branch of the same medical center here where I live. I asked to be a patient of the doctor in charge of the clinical trials.
You can find their hotline number on their website. Another person with hep. C gave it to me.
Krazy Kat thanks for the email. I'm doing very well on Dr. Zhang's herbs for almost 3 years now. Thanks for your good wishes and I wish you well too. We are only 2 years away from a complete cure. Hep. C will be a disease of the past soon. It's very exciting.
