Tykerb clinical trials in australia?

[lisahammo]

Hi everyone

I know I was given the the website for the Glaxo Smith Kline clinical trials in australia at some stage, but now cannot find it. Does anyone know what it is? I think they are only doing clinical trials for patients with brain mets, but would like to find out more.

Thank you & happy new year all

Hi Lisa
Would you like to catch up sometime soon? I am in Melb every 3 weeks at St V's. Will be probably having next treatment on 10th Jan.
Am keen to follow up lapatinib too.
Cheers

Lisa, i know they are doing a trial at the Royal Melbourne for Tykerb but i don't know anything else or if it has even started. I see they are doing EAP at Geelong hospital and the contact is Richard Bell. I know it is a hike but he seems very good.(i actually think Barwon Health is pretty progressive) I saw him do a very indepth lecture about HER-2/ Herceptin a few years ago and it is how i found out I was Her-2 as i raced home and read my path report. I'd try and contact them

Hi Linda

Thanks for the reply. What were the requirements for you going on this trial? Have you had any side effects? The only person I know to have tried Tykerb had a shocking rash over her body, and had to stop the trial.

Thank you so much for the info. I really appreciate it.
