i have a co- worker w/ advanced ovarian cancer who is doing very well on a combo of cedarib and olaparib. cedarib apparently is a tumor bood vessel starver like avastin. bp has to be watched. and all the " ibs" seem to be tough in terms of diarrhea for many. its a small phase II trial at farber. ( 60 pts total, only 8 at farber ) she says they are talking about expanding it to bc pts.
" Ironically " - she is their best responder so far , but almost didn't get in as her one measureable tumor was a few cm. off of " criteria " . so she is on board w/ our activism to get more flexibility for Stage IV's.
