Anyone else on the trial S-222611?

[Lesleycstephen]

I live in Scotland in the UK, and about 6 weeks ago started on the Phase2 trial for a Japanese drug, a tyrone kinase inhibitor, made by Shiniogi.

I had extensive mets in my lungs, trouble breathing and coughing a lot. Within 3 or 4 days I noticed I was coughing less - 6 weeks on I feel great. No cough, breathing well, bags more energy. I get a scan soon so will know exactly what the response has been.

I believe it has also shown efficacy on brain mets, and another lady in our small group on the trial here has had significant reduction in her brain mets.

I genuinely feel this is a wonder drug (I had previously not responded to Xeloda/Capcetibine OR to TDM-1/Kadcyla, so was fast running out of options). From what I can gather, it has had a really good success rate. Out of us 10 patients, 9 responded.

And even better, there are very few and fairly minor side effects. I have had almost none. Anyone on the trial elsewhere, or know anything about it?

Hi

Lesley, that is FANTASTIC news. Thank you for being willing to put yourself on the line for the trial, paving the way for others. Thank you, thank you, thank you and I hope it buys you tons of time.

I contacted the lead researcher in this trial, and for now they have no plans for a phase II of this trial. I also contacted the Japanese company headquartered in New Jersey, and expressed interest in participating in a Phase II of this trial, should it get that far.

Hi there

I asked when I was last in hospital what will happen with this drug, as its been very successful in our small cohort of women - 10 out of 11 responded, at least one complete remission and everyone else good partial responses. Its a phase1/2 I think. Was told they will collect all the data this year and decide whether to take forward - I am praying that they do asap as it is fantastic, and almost no side effects as so targeted.

I had previously filed on Xeloda, kadcyla and Herceptin hadn't really worked either, so things weren't looking good.

If I hear any more will let you know

Best wishes and hope things stay stable . Let me know if you get on MM302 and how that is, as Im always looking for the next drug.
