Re Sorafenib/Nevavar
My best friend is on Nexavar now for 11 weeks. She is having positive results.
In the phase 3 trials for advanced HCC that ended Feb 12, 2007 the results were impressive. Trials were stopped earily so that the group on sugar pills could start taking Nexavar. In June at a national cancer conference there will be an up date on the phase 3 results. Go to your search engine and type in Nexavar Liver there are at least 20 articles on the phase 3 trial results.
Now get on Nevavar right away! The sooner the better! Get your doctor to approve now or find one that will. Print the phase 3 results. In the phase 3 study. 80% of these that started on Nexavar had positive results. It appears that after 12 weeks when the phase 3 trial was stopped, 50% of those that were on sugar pills for 12 weeks and started Nexavar had positive results. Nexavar is on fast track for FDA approval for liver cancer Do note: Nexavar is not a cure. It can shrink and stop new growth.
Wish you the best and please keep us posted. We care, ED
what are your friend's positive results?
