Hmmmm....

I see that they are participating in this trial (this is the Zion IL location and perhaps others).

So, controversial - perhaps, but not clueless!

what are u thinking chrisy. i dont understand

they dont have ucsf listed for this trial yet either..

Just a random comment based on a discussion on a different thread. CTCA was noted as "controversial" not this drug, trial or anything else!

Recently there was a thread on CTCA started by Rich66 (you may not have seen this) on whether or not they were a "serious" (my words) place - as they are more embracing of integrative modalities. Some of the comments were about an apparent lack of solid research being done there - comments which may have been a bit unfounded.

Just good to see that they apparently ARE serious enough to be participating in this trial. Which actually seems right up their alley - minimal toxicity.

Re not seeing UCSF on the list; I've concluded the lists are not accurate so you should ALWAYS check. UCSF is STILL not on the list for the trial I've been in since February! But I think I'll ask my trial coordinator about it on Monday.

hopefully genentech can get this trial enrolled quickly and approved later next year..
