Dear Dr. Chung,
 
 
 
Our Grandmother (65+) has HCV and because of intolerable side effects has dropped out of her peg interferon/Ribavarin (forgive my spelling) treatment. I am desperatly seeking a PEGASYS clinical trial for someone her age. I am not sure if she can maintain what health she has until the FDA approves this drug. If you know of any contact sources or clinical trials which she may qualify for I would really, really appreciate it. If it is any help she lives in the Northern Indiana area, but I would convince her to travel if it could save her life.
 
Thank you so much,
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Dr Chung Writes-  
 
 
Pegasys should be approved by late 2002, so i would encourage her to hang on.
