    Hi all,

    As most of you know, I just began a trial at Rockefeller University Hospital.  It is a trial of a topical drug called DPCP; if you Google DPCP + Melanoma + Australia, you will see that the drug has had good results in Australian trials. 

    They are looking for about 10-12 more recruits.  The team came highly recommended by my docs at Sloan Kettering.  The trial # for ClinicalTrials.gov is NCT01711684.

    They are looking for about 10-12 more recruits.  The team came highly recommended by my docs at Sloan Kettering.  The trial # for ClinicalTrials.gov is NCT01711684.

    I went this morning for "Day 0 Visit".  They took 2 biopsies, one each of a mel met and of healthy skin on my leg.  Also did ultrasound, etc.  They put sensitizing doses of the drug on a few places, now I get to watch and wait and hope for a reaction in 14 days.  Yup, hoping for a rash!

    I hope this is of help to someone(s).

    All the best,

    karen

        Thanks, Al,

        I hope we get some others from the forum who are able to sign up for the study.  I couldn't believe how nice the people at Rockefeller are–they even got lunch for me (I didn't ask for it) and the nurses hugged and kissed me goodbye.  They said they're so happy to have such a willing participant for their first patient.  I think that's rather amusing–I'm so grateful to THEM for making the trial available to me!  And who said New Yorkers aren't nice??

        take care,
