I started a MATCH Phase ll Study of the P13K Specific Inhibitor, GSK2636771, in patients with tumors with P-TEN Loss by IHC on May 26, 2016. I take 400 mg of the trial pills once a day and so far the side effects are minimal. I have had slight stomach discomfort for about an hour after I eat and I have had diarrhea every day. I have not taken an anti diarrhea pill yet but getting close if it starts back up today. Other than that, so far so good. I am patient #1 in the trial enrolled in this arm of the MATCH Protocol at MD Anderson. I will have a scan towards the end of July to see if the magic pills are working. As the drug builds up in my body, I might expect other side effects….or maybe I will experience nothing but tumor reduction or disappearance of some tiny nodules.
It’s a beautiful, sunny day in southern Illinois and I will be out swimming, attending a backyard BBQ, and working in the landscaping! Every day is a good day~~~
