Hi Friends, I have been a member of this forum for 18 months now. This is my first post. Cheers to all of you who have made it through phase 3 of this trial. The results sound impressive. I too was cleared to begin the Beacon Trial but it was cancelled before I began. I am now scheduled to screen for the phase 3 Bristol-Meyers Aloft Trial. Has anyone participated in either of the first 2 phases of this trial? Anyone participating in this Phase 3? I am a little anxious about this trial as it seems quite cumbersome and a significant commitment, but I am determined to make the best of it. I have been on Esbriet for about 2 1/2 years. I am fortunate not to have debilitating side effects from it. My PFTs have been slowly declining over these last 2 1/2 years, but it wasn’t until December when the decline was much more drastic. I am hopeful that one of these new drugs will stop this insidious disease in its tracks. Best of luck and blessings to you all.
