Just got an e-mail from Dr. Salazar today and this is what she said about the skin met trial I was hoping would be starting next month.

Due to funding purposes, the study will probably not be open until next Fall. I am submitting another grant proposal in June to help cover the cost. I am also revising the protocol to include systemic treatment. So it will likely be a combination of topical and one chemotherapy agent- for synergistic effect and hopefully better clinical efficacy.

Hugs, Sandy
