Hi all, ithought id join this group on behalf of my friend we are
praying for and is on the trial of AMG706.
My friend Ted has been on the trial now for 8 weeks, after
previously being on Glivac for over a year. Ted's tumours are
advanced, and have previously bled before Glivac. They stabilised
whilst on that treatment, but things hadn't improved.
He has now started on the phase 2 trial at the Royal Marston ,
London, UK.
He has now had the results through from the scans he had after 6
mweeks, now 8 weeks. This had shown that although they have grown
they now look a bit like cysts than tumours , being a bit
more 'squissy' than hard as they were before. Ted has a lot of pain
as the tumours are squashing his insides about, and has been
vomtiming because of this. The side effects of teh drug has made
him feel very tired. The dosage he is trialling is 125mg.
As this is a new trial we feel its good to share how teh progress is
going , and let people know they are not alone out there., its been
2.5 yrs since Ted was diagnosed, and originally given only 2months
to live
