Re: Pam experience on Anlotinib trial

Hello Olga, Interesting questions. First I'm not the doctor they are and we are learning on the job so to speak. I would have to assume if there are no new activities then the med must be working and that to me is reason enough to have continued. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in an earlier statement...

Re: Pam experience on Anlotinib trial

Debbie, It is my understanding it is seen through creatinine levels. After the AXI/Prembro trial in Miami Pam has said NO more biopsies, she has had enough. I also assume the levels are being monitored for kidney health. Pam's creatinine level has stayed slightly elevated on Anlotinib but not by much.

Re: Pam experience on Anlotinib trial

There is no direct test on tumors in this trial but EGFR is checked on each blood draw along with blood sugar.

Re: Pam experience on Anlotinib trial

Hello Debbie, good to hear from ya. Pam will start cycle 37 tomorrow (Sept 9) with the Anlotinib. She has had a lot of nausea and her appetite has not been good lately. I think if it were not for all the damage that has been done to her spine she would be doing better. That said, as Olga has stated ...

Re: Pam experience on Axitinib and Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) trial in Miami

Pam was taken off the Keytruda trial on 3/06/17 due to an increase in her liver mets. She was then started on Nivolumab and Ipilimumab on 4/12/17 but this combination caused her to have colitis and was taken off of that treatment. She began the Anlotinib trial on August 16, 2017.
