This PDF may help: I would suggest you check out this PDF, "Guide to Clinical Trials for People with Hepatitis C". If there is a large teaching medical center in your area, that would be a good place to start as well.

Treatment: There are two new drugs currently available for hep C. These are very very effective. If you have depression, you can be treated with these oral medications without interferon (needle). Please talk to your gastroenterologist/hepatologist about various combination options.
