need list of ixempra trials in France
 

Hello,
I have an odd one and would appreciate any help. I live in France, I'm an HER2 person but I have a friend who's HER2 and IBC and needs to get on an Ixempra (or whatever it might be called here) trial.
I don't think her onc is doing enough research on this and an onc friend in LA basically emailed me to say she needs Ixempra.
Could anyone ask Bristol Myers for a list of places doing trials in France and email it to me???? I've tried web searching but either I'm too blond (really grey now) or ?
My friend's in the hospital and my husband and I hope she'll find a way to improve enough and go home or ideally into a trial.
Breathing is the issue right now.
I was even thinking of the US but then she'd need a place to stay until she gets her land legs so to speak. We have some friends in LA and NY that might help with that, elsewhere no.
She needs something fast! You were all very helpful in getting me info on the Tykerb EAP thing - she tried that but...
hugs and love to all

If it helps with your research, Ixempra is ixabepilone.

I found this link to a large trial in France for Ixempra, but your friend does not fit the criteria. However, there is a lot of info on this page (scroll all the way to the end of the page, you will find all the hospitals that are hosting this particular trial) that you may be able to use to find who might be doing an Ixempra trial that she could qualify for...

Also, here is a link to the French National Cancer Research website. I can't read French, but I am guessing it could be a good resource...

Hope these help. I will try to keep looking.

Many thanks to both of you.
Checking them out right now.
Joe, this is an amazing site, couldn't live without it. You and Christine are heros to me.

Checked them out. I will call some of the places in France on Monday. I was originally treated at the one in Nice (now at Mougins) and I can ask a few people I know work there about it.
thanks again.
I'm really worried about our friend.
hugs and love
