Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hey. I don't know much about studied. So is this considered phase II? What are the adverse reactions in this type of study? This would be great for me since my DR really wants tx and my insurance denied me and so did the patient assistance program......very frustrating...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 All her doctor needs to do is file an appeal stating why she needs the meds and after about 30 days the insurance usually will cover it. The inportant thing is to get the doc to write a letter of medical necessity . I had to do it to get my infergen covered then to get my zophran quantity .

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Sara, AVI is the company doing the study. I'll give you some links and you can read what they have to say, as well as the government. This is listed on the clinical trials dot gov website as phase II, but in the last press relieave it ws called phase Ib.??? The FDA guidlines were changed recently concerning how clinical trials will be held, which may explain the inconsistency. Phase I safety results http://www.avibio.com/pr/pr287.html Clinical Trials dot Government http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00229749?order=1 AVI BioPharma website http://www.avibio.com Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Exactly, my Dr. is doing an appeal as we speak. the crappy thing is i was going to leave my job to get used to treatment, when my boss pissed me off and i figured i could live off my tax return until my tx was over, so i QUIT (idiot)! So now i'm in limbo, but i start school on the 4th so it wont be too bad, I just want to get this tx done and over with......
