mamasbabygirl Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hello everyone. While searching through trials tonight, I see one where there can be no clinically sctive brain mets. Mom has brain mets, but they are stable (minus the necrosis). Does anyone know if she would be excluded? Thanks for your help.

Leslie221 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I tried to find a decent definition of "clinically active" on the net, and it seems like if there is evidence of a tumor right now, even if it is stable, it is "clinically active." If there is no evidence any longer of a tumor that was once there, I guess it's not "clinically active." But, it's confusing. So the real answer is an honest, "I don't know." This is a perfect question for Ask the Experts, but then you have to wait till Monday afternoon or Tuesday to get an answer. Sorry.

jdjenkins Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I recently talked with the director of one of the trials. He said that if Dad's brian mets had been treated with radio surgery or surgery he could still qualify. Dad had received too many types of chemo to qualify though so that study was out. I wish you luck. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
