      Does anyone know about this drug? My husband has been on Zelboraf for 2 months. His scans showed mixed results..2 tumors gone, a few stable, and 2 new ones. His doctor wants to wait and rescan in two months. We’d like to be more proactive. We’ve talked to Vandrbilt, hoping for a PD-1 trial. They’ve offered a possibility of an E7080 trial. I’ve never heard of this drug. I did a little research, but there’s not much there. Is anyone on this trial, any ideas on whether or not it works? Thanks for any thoughts or ideas.

          I'm not sure about Vanderbilt's trial, by NIH has one.  If you look up their website, you may find more info.  I belive with their trial you had to be HLA2 positive, as it was a vaccine.  You can try searching the archives too.

          Best wishes,

                Hi,

                My husband started E7080 with Dicarbazine in October.  He has had a good response so far and we understand that the trial is producing good results from across the world.  It is well worth considering, we just have to hope and pray it is durable.
