temodar trials

If, after consideration, your husband opts for radiotherapy, ask your doctors about doing it concurrent with Temodar (temolozimide). I took that with my last radiotherapy. Supposedly it is a radiosensitizer (meaning it makes the tumor cells more suceptible to radiation. Good luck to you!

We know the tumor is in a slightly different area than it was originally. He is in treatment (Temodar for the second time) for the third recurrence of his tumor. We have always been told it is in an area where surgery has not been an option. The oncologist does say he believes it is a higher grade. We think he believes it is glioblastoma but he won't say that definitely without doing another biopsy.

She had a surgical resection near the end of November and is currently in her third week of Proton Therapy and chemo with Temodar. Her tumor was in the right temporal lobe and the remaining tumor they couldn't remove (about 10 percent they said) is on her right insula. Hoping to chat with other people in the same boat as her. What if any side effects did you incur on Proton therapy? Did everyone who had proton therapy to their brain have to be on a steroid? Did anyone NOT lose hair.

HI, I AM WITH OLIGODENDROGLIOMA,, NOW ON CHEMOTHERAPY-TEMODAR 350MG.

A month ago my husband (41) had a tumor resection of a GBM in the left temporal/frontal lobe. He is still recovering from surgery and has begun cancer treatment (temodar& radiation) a week ago. He has a previous accident injury where he has struggled with neck pain for ten years. He has been on suboxone for probably 7 years now. He is currently taking his suboxone but is not getting any relief for his head pain.

How do I find out about trials?...will my doc tell me and ask if thats something I'm interested in them or do I have to find them for myself?...Im just wonderinf...

i was on a trial for virimadine so i was treated with that and interfuron... would i be eligible for any of the new trials for non-responders ? im guessing no because i have absolutely no results from this trial they told me NOTHING except after 6 months it wasnt working and they stoped it... i could try and get on a new trial for treatment naive and i guess i could just lie and say i never treated...

I was wondering if anyone knows of... or could direct me in how to find trials for non-responders in the southern California area.

I was in the last boceprevir trial. Like epiphiny says, it is to get a baseline and suitability. It's all pretty standard in trials and would be a good idea for most people starting TX, too. To be honest interferon can cause bizarre problems like lung damage, heart palpitations, etc. Not too common, but it happens.

was screened for 3 trials and excluded at thge last second [it seemed] because of my early cirrhosis ... on 3rd week of BI 201335 trial..so hang in there......patience is a virtue..

t be included in the trial. So to answer your question, there are very strict guidelines relative to clinical trials. As Bill said, go to the website and read some of the trials.

Are there any new trials other than interferon or ribaviron, I've relasp twice and there nothing else my Doc says he can do.

Patient made decision to treat his anaplastic astrocytoma with surgery and Temodar only. No radiation! What is the prognosis for this 33 yr.old male.

Since the diagnosis of Glioblastoma grade 4 in August, my husband has had the tumor removed and completed the round of radiation and chemotherapy - temodar. Recently I have noticed him being very short fused and argumentative. The slightest thing sets him off as if he had been personally attack. I have also noticed depression setting in. I'm assuming this is all part of the treatment and diagnosis.

Since its a school they ask patients who qualify to volenteer for drug trials when they are avalible. I was asked to take part in one that is for a nausea medication. So basically when i go in for my c section they will admister the medication or placebo when i get the spinal/epidural before the surgery. I would really like to take part and volenteer but at the same time id rather not be puking while they are cutting me open....

hi -- a few weeks ago there was a guy who posted here looking for user-friendly clinical trials sites. He was getting medical help outside of the U.S. I can't find his post....so thought I'd write a new one hoping he'll find this. I found this site today and thought of him. http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/pns/patemail.

Is anyone doing clinical trials? I think i would go anywhere for relief and / or a cure!

I am looking to find treatment I have no insurance and I see a lot of Clinical Trials that you can sign up for an be notified by a recruiter, but my thought is how do I know if they reputable. Who can I contact to find out?

Except for the clinical trials as far as I know there is not yet any treatment available for HCV without interferon. For genotype 1, I believe it will be a few years before anything is available. By the way your English is fine.

t know if I can post this or not, so will not post the actual information yet, but I received a magazine from a very good hospital in my area and in it was information about the ovarian cancer clinical trials that they are doing and a number to call if someone is interested. I live in Central Florida. So, if it is ok to post that info, or if there is anyone on here that would like that info, you can always send me a message.

i would really like to find a web site that line items in a simple way what trials are out there..and explains a little about each one...something that could be printed off...i also see dmhrdh did 48 weeks..what about the 24 week trials..seems like somewhere this list has to exist....or maybe someone here could list them....thanks....

Its a great resource. I also recently found a site that matches patients to trials, http://trialx.org.

Anyone know of any current clinical trials for genotype 1 relapser in central/southeast Florida?

be well, have strength, get healed.

So because of this I have called Duke University to see about getting in their clinical trials which I could start right away. I would like some feedback good and bad but in the end I realize its my decision. This waiting game has put my life on hold and affecting me financially only. thanks everyone for your response. I enjoy and respect all of you.

Sorry to hear this happened, and what a good question you raise. I'm not in a study; I declined a couple of treatment trials for practical reasons (travel involved). I did go over the consent forms I would have signed if I'd participated, but don't recall anything specific on this topic. It would be handled differently here, regardless. Provincal health insurance would cover a medically necessary procedure regardless of the cause. I would think in a situation like this, in the U.

I believe there are a number of ladies of various trials on this forum. Perhaps if you added more info on the type of trials you are seeking, it will help us to give you the information you are seeking. Cheers...
