We received news earlier this week that the clinical trial we've been waiting for is finally open. Mike goes for and ECO and CAT Scan today (05/05/10). Monday (05/09/10) he signs for the trial and "hopefully" has success with it. Follow this link for information regarding the study: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01330966?term=Chondrosarcoma&rank=2
This Chemo is given in pill form. Mike will take Pazopanib 800 mg orally once daily will be started on Cycle 1 Day 1 and will be administered continuously for a 28-day cycle. Courses repeat every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Here is GSK's slightly one-sided (because they're the makers) view of the drug: http://www.gsk.com/media/pressreleases/2009/2009_us_pressrelease_10039.htm
Here's hoping!
I hope it will go good.
