Re: Finally! Shrinkage!

Congratulations! Wonderful news! As I look at your signature it appears that I am following closely in your treatment/response times. You have probably outlined this before, but can you remind me what the AKT trial is? I'm currently still responding to TDM1, but just wanted to check out future options.
