questions- Iressa, Celebrex, Tarceva, Avastin, Erbitux, TM

[LindaMRG]

Okay, friends, trying to sort out some research here:

1. My father is itching with Iressa but dont see a rash yet, its been about a week since he started. Good sign? Onc's associate thought so, anyone else have itching?

2. What do you know about how far Tarceva is in the trials, and if it will be available soon.

3. What do you know about Avastin, Erbitux, or TM (Cary you have posted on TM and I forwarded it to onc, he said he wouldnt object to trying it with my father but he didnt seen overwhelming success with it, I told him about your father).

4. Is there real success with adding Celebrex to the mix?

Thanks for any help you can give me with these questions.

You might have to register to medscape to see this article.

Anyway it mentions there is a new trial that combines

Avastin and Tarceva.

Linda, there'a been a lot of information about the benefits of Celebrex (from Hal Gordon and some others) on the acor lung-nsclc list. Are you still posting there? You may want to check the archives and look up Celebrex.
