The trial that Eric posted is actually the trial I am in. It is the same drug, but it is a phase 1 trial. I believe I am in that trial because you have to have measurable disease to be in the phase II trial and for some reason bone mets are not easy to measure. I am being treated at the Dana Farber. When this trial first started a year ago treatment was every three weeks and I would have preferred that. Now it is every week. However, it is very tolerable for most patients, and I am therefore happy to be a part of this trial.
