Anyone familiar with the clinical trial RMC-6236? Or how to enroll?
Question,,,is anyone familiar with the clinical trial for RMC-6236? Or is currently enrolled in it? Or is familiar with how the process works?
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.
Thank you for your response. I am happy to hear that it is helping you. My husband struggles with neuropathy as well. I will keep you in my prayers as we traverse this journey. God bless.
Thank you @stageivsurvivor When I was discussing with friend, I reached conclusion that they are probably testing it with another drug. Would it be possible to get a compassionate release of 6236 by itself? I'm hesitant (not that I have a lot of other options right now), about trying a new drug that's not proven. I inquired with my current oncologist about getting a compassionate release of Zolbetuximab and she said the rep says it's only for gastric cancer (in origin). Do you know about this drug for the cld18.2 protein; supposedly it's being reviewed by FDA now for pancreatic cancer. It seems it's only for HER2 mutations which I dont have. I'm only 80% positive for the cld18.2. Am I really out of luck as far as a compassionate release?

I am so disappointed to hear how Naliri has affected you.
You called it! Breathing problems.
I just took one week off to visit grandchild in California. My CA19-9 went from 63 to 100. However, the side effects this week have been minimal except some fatigue! I’m on day 5. Was able to work this weekend (I’m in real estate) and attended two social events in the evenings.
I think this disease is so systemic that we cannot let up the gas. Histotripsy and SBRT are more for interval tumor death of metastases and buy us time until the next thing.
I would be demanding to get back on what worked initially. Especially if there has been a long interval since doing it.
Wondering how much spread you had prior to starting the trial (if comfortable to disclose) or other factors that might have sffected the time it was effective. I have been on it for 10 months with no progression so am concerned how much longer I have before I see progression. It seems to be the best treatment out there for now.
Many have tried obtaining RMC-6236 for compassionate use. It is a drug not yet FDA approved and the developer is not providing it compassionate use. I know of several that inquired and supply is limited and needed for trial participants. I can imagine the company has been overwhelmed with requests but they are not able to fulfill those requests and ensure trial participants have adequate supply.
I didn't think about that - thank you so much for your quick response.
What about "the right to try"? I believe this was enacted sometime within the last 10 years. I do not know much else about it.
I was adamant to get into the trial last spring. My reoccurrence was in liver and was negligible but enough to get in!
A suspicious spot appeared on my lung and my spot at liver resection measured larger after 6 months so I chose not to continue. But I am very glad to have done it and hope it does not preclude me from future trials.
