Trials - help through sort....

Hi Nicole, there are a couple of ways of doing this, but in the end you'll have to do some slogging.

You can decide on some criteria for yourself. Does it need to be close to you? Or are you willing to travel? What are the requirements for the trial? Do you need to go every three weeks? Or would the trial require spending days and days at the cancer center? Do you care about that?

Next, a bunch of the trials will be for hormonal therapy and a bunch for chemotherapy. If you're still in the 'hormonal therapy' space, dump all the chemo trials for the moment. Also, since you're HER2-, delete anything which mentions HER2+ in the title. [yes there aren't supposed to be any but there will be]

Now you're down from 100 to 30. LOL.

You'll have to look at the enrollment criteria for each trial. That's the slog. See if you are eligible. Or rather not ineligible.

Now you're down to 10 (you hope). Time for the science or to discuss with your MO.

I'm a little medicated at the moment so I hope this makes some sense.

Nicole,

Another thought is to see if you can figure out if anyone on BCO is or was on a trial -- try searching the NCT numbers and the names of the trials (if they are named) through the search function on BCO and see if anything pops up. It may not work, but it's worth a try.

I thought I replied but it either disappeared or I posted my reply somewhere in a different thread....

My suggestion is to consider what phase trials you're comfortable with. If you don't want to do Phase I that might eliminate some.

I'm meeting with my team to discuss and probably sign consent forms for a phase III

About to start Destiny 3 trial. Do any members have any experiences with this trial please?
