This one, in my opinion, is worth signing-up for. And because it is phase 1 / 2, you will always be in the drug arm of the trial.

al, what is rad001?
 

does anyone know what the drug rad001 is? or what class of drug it is? i agree this looks like a very interesting trial, if only i knew the combination they are testing.

thanks for any info,

I am very new to this forum and wanted to know how can one get PTEN tested ? I have read in some of the posts that few people did get theit PTEN tested. Could someone please let me know how and where was it done, is it a blood test ?
