Recruiting patients with selected advanced solid tumours: Clinical trial

Dr. Philippe L. Bedard at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, is presently recruiting for a new multi-centre study for adult patients with selected advanced solid tumours. Patients will be enrolled in 3 phase II arms (colorectal adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarnomina, and melanoma), with approximately 20-28 patients each. While strict protocols will be followed regarding follow-up assessments after conclusion of study treatment, as well as during the study itself, Cancer View Canada cautions that "patients will be treated until progression of disease, unacceptable toxity develops, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first."
