Hi Susan,
Thanks for this info. Is this the clinical trial your husband is doing? I”m a little confused b/c it doesn’t list “liver” or “bile duct” as part of the list of acceptable areas where the cancer is. I’d love to know b/c my sister is not responding to any of the standard chemos and we are looking for a clinical trial. Thanks!
Warmly,

Dear Susan,
This is such wonderful news!! Shrinkage is one of our favorite words!!! It is so promising when new trials work. I wish for the great news to continue and hopefully one day CC will be a cancer of the past.

-PamMy husband just completed the first 8 weeks on a clinical trial at the Lineberger Cancer Hospital at UNC Chapel Hill. He had a scan Friday morning- and the tumors had shrunk!!
The trial is a Phase 1 trial treating gastro tumors with a combination of FOLOX6 , infused every 2 weeks, plus a daily oral dose of BKM120, which is a PI3K inhibitor. They are recruiting. The main doctor is Dr Autumn McCree. We were referred there by Duke. You can find more info on the clinical trial.gov site.
Just for background— my husband was diagnosed with intrahepatic Cc in April 2011. He had a resection and removed his entire right; he has also had Gem/CIS , radiation plus Xeloda, and bland embollizations. We are thrilled with the trial results so far!
