Anyone on the clinical trial for BMN673

Postby PersephoneInLA » Thu Nov 20, 2014 2:22 pm

Hi Everyone

I don't post often but I do catch up on posts over here. Well after 41 months of every treatment (radiation, Xeloda, Xelox, Avastin, Xeliri, Erbitux), my husband's chemo has stopped working again. He was given a choice of a 3 week break and then begin a clinical trial or do 6 weeks of Stivarga and then start the trial. His primary oncologist said do the former so he will begin the trial on December 2. Is anyone else on this drug? From the little I have found, it's having good results with aggressive breast and ovarian cancer with some patients being on it for a year or more with no progression. Hopefully this drug will work long enough while we all wait for TAS-102 to hit the market. That one sounds very promising.

Thanks in advance!
