Angie- I have good news for you. I entered a clinical trial in March because of tumors on the liver. This is a Phase 1 Clinical Trial of a new drug called APOMAB, for monoclonal antibodies. I'm in the 2nd group of humans to get the drug. I had low expectations of good results because this is truly experimental, has only been proved in lab dishes and animals.
GOOD NEWS: My tumors have shrunk. Of 7 that I presented with 3 months ago, 5 are no longer detectable on the CT and the remaining 2 are reduced. The local oncologists are now referring more granulosa women to the study as a result of my progress.
Here's the info in case this is an option for you:
Rx Co: Genentec
Drug: APOMAB
Side Effects: Minor flu-like symptoms (headaches, achy)
My dose is 4mg. New patients (as I understand) will receive higher doses. They are testing toxicity.
This trial is being conducted in 4 cities across the country. Mine is in Scottsdale AZ. Your oncologist should be able to find info on it, but if not, let me know.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck and let me know if you need more inf.
Annette
