PARP inhibitor trial?

Hi Franc,

mid you look at my recent thread called “Triton or Re-AKT” you will see that the Triton study is about trialling a PARP inhibitor.

i don’t know if it is the same drug because I am having problems following the link, but to go on the trial for Rucaparib, it is necessary to have one of a number of gene mutations. Apparently, only one in ten men are likely to have the mutation. 

I am currently awaiting the results of tests to see if I am eligible. 

Unfortunately, I have been overtaken by events, since I have developed crippling backache, and resolving that has become the priority, but hopefully if that resolves and I am eligible for the trial, I may well be part of the study.

best wishes 

peter

Thanks Lyn, 

i couldn’t open the link in franci ‘s post. 

Since writing my post, I had a phone call from my oncologist this afternoon asking me to go and see him tomorrow. A bit worrying in view of the backache, but I think he is just trying to reassure me.
