Michaels New Clinical Trial Starts Monday!

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!
