palves Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Anyone have any experience with these drugs in a trial situation? Dad has 2 possible trials that he can participate in (Phase 1) as the Alimta failed him. Trying to make a decision. Velcade seems promising - its been FDA approved I believe for multiple myeloma (sp?) Any thoughts well appreciated as always. Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Q Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 My mom did a clinical trial with velcade, gemzar and carboplatin. She had NSCLC adenocarcinoma, with multiple nodules in both lungs, and managed to get about 90% improvement with 6 (I think) rounds, but after that they tried velcade as a single agent for maintenance, and she experienced disease progression. I have no experience with it as a combination agent with taxol. Best wishes, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
