Help with clinical trials (RMC-6236 and it's variations)

@ekaptur we are having to travel to the trial location and likely to be 6-8 hours away. What’s the lab work done on days 1, 15 for each cycle? And is that something we can do locally and send results systematically?

Considering that each clinical trial has its own protocol including required tests, labs, visit schedule, etc., I think it would be best to clarify the specific requirements of the new clinical trial. My husband’s schedule, labs, and tests were determined by the protocol of the RMC-6236 clinical trial for pancreatic cancer, and they may differ significantly from the new trial for NSCLC that I mentioned earlier.
I believe that most tests are typically performed directly at the hospital where the trial is conducted. You may also want to ask whether Revolution Medicines covers lodging expenses during the testing period, sometimes they reimburse hotel costs and/or gas expenses. Considering the amount of time you may spend traveling, that could be helpful.
On average, during each trial visit, we spend about 3–5 hours at the hospital.
