              Hello,

                 I was very interested in this drug and like you had heard good things.I contacted MD Anderson as I'd seen Dr. Sapna Patel in June, 2009. Unfortunately, you can only have had one chemotherapy, and I've two, so I don't qualify. Also, I'm sure by this time you've seen all the discussion on ocu-mel.

                        Hi Margaret,

                        NCT01413191 is the number for the trial on clinicaltrials.gov  There is the trial at MDAnderson, but I believe Dr. Sato has just started this trial also. If you go to ocu-mel and look up Vicky Anderson's posts, her husband had been given a few months and started the trial and had great results. But just last week I saw she posted that he had return of some mets.
