Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hi Everyone. I just called this clinical trial in Gainesville, and it's for Remicade. It's a year long study to see if using Remicade will enable patients to decrease their Methotrexate. They preliminarily screened me, and said I qualify. I'm going there tomorrow to have the TB test and the labs done and she said if everything goes well I could get my first infusion as early as next week! I've been having such a hard time, and have been so discouraged. In this trial there is no placebo, so that's a big plus. She said they also do the bone density testing at the beginning and end of the trial---another bonus. I just hope my white blood count is high enough by tomorrow. She said if it isn't, they can try again in 30 days. Are there any things I should know about remicade before I sign on the " dotted line " ? Hope you are all having a great day, too! Hugs, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
