clinical trial news ? for Joe

[michele u]

Joe,
I read a post from Andrea on the clinical news sight. Is there some new law that the patients have access to the trial results? She sounded like there was. Then she gave a website clinicalstudyresults.org but that didn't give me any info at all. I couldn't look any thing up. I'm still trying to get any results from the Herceptin adjuvant trial. No one anything it seems. Its the one where we take herceptin for a year after chemo (Adriamycin, then Taxol then the Herceptin)

Michelle, the data base for the trial news is apparently limited to the drug companies who choose to participate by entering the information on the trials they sponsor, and so far there are only a handful, and they haven't necessarily entered info on ALL their trials... so you have to know the name of the sponsor, or the name of the drug, or the trial id number, etc. Then that info has to match up with what's in the data base. If you click on the down arrow in each field, it will show a menu of the available choices. I didn't see anything for Genentech, or Herceptin, so they haven't participated so far...
