I have not participated in it, but thank you for being willing to participate in a trial. I was in a clinical trial for 4 years for my lung cancer. If I ever have the opportunity again to participate in another trial, I will not hesitate to do so.

kdavis11259 posted an update
I wanted to post an update of the results so far of my being on the new clinical trial drug ME-401 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. It is also used for relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. I got the results of my CT scan yesterday. The oncologist says that I am again in remission after only taking the drug every day for two 28-day cycles. I have had no side effects to this drug. This will hopefully be a game-changer for people who have relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and CLL/SLL.

over 3 years agoIn November 2011, at the age of 64, my wife was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma Stage 4, Grade 3A. She had 50% bone marrow involvement. She is one of the 20% of follicular lymphoma patients who progress rapidly after treatments. In 3 years she progressed after R-CHOP (6 cycles), bendamustine/rituximab (6 cycles), and Ibrutinib (12 months). Then she took Idelalisib/rituximab as her fourth treatment. It worked great for 14 months then a PET scan showed she progressed again. She is now in an NIH CAR-T trial NCT02659943 was infused on March 2, 2016. As of February 18, 2019, she has been in complete remission for 35.5 months. Clinical trial studies show that CAR-T cells may result in long-lasting remissions for some people who have follicular lymphoma. There is more information on CAR-T for fNHL patients and people considering CAR-T at https://fnhlben.wordpress.com/

over 3 years agoMy doctor told me that I likely wouldn't qualify for any clinical trials in the future, so good for you that you can do it. My low grade marginal zone lymphoma transformed to high grade and I just finished Rchop so hoping I am in remission a bit longer than my first treatment which was single agent Gazyva only. Thanks for all the info everyone.

about 4 years agoI found it here it is:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.
