Update... Lab Results on Clinical Trial - Azacitidine Without MS-275
Just an update... I haven't posted any of Ron's weekly blood results since 8/06/09. Last lab posts were through Cycle 5, Day 15 (5-15). I've added all lab results since that post...
Just as a reminder, Ron is on Clinical Trial (Phase II) Vidaza by Injection (10-Days) w/o MS-275. The first number, means, for example, 5-22, means Cycle 5, Day 22. Followed by Date of lab work....
5-15: 8/05/09 HGB 16.2, HCT 45.4%, RBC 4.67, WBC 4.4, NEU 49%, PLT 164
5-22: 8/12/09 HGB 16.0, HCT 44.9%, RBC 4.62, WBC 4.2, NEU 54%, PLT 126
6- 1: 8/19/09 HGB 15.9, HCT 44.9%, RBC 4.66, WBC 3.5, NEU 37%, PLT 157
6-10: 8/26/09 HGB 16.1, HCT 45.4%, RBC 4.68, WBC 2.9, NEU 28%, PLT 224
6-15: 9/02/09 HGB 15.4, HCT 43.8%, RBC 4.53, WBC 4.3, NEU 48%, PLT 164
6-22: 9/09/09 HGB 15.7, HCT 45.2%, RBC 4.65, WBC 4.6, NEU 50%, PLT 130
All numbers continue to look good. PLT down just a bit, but, the doctor doesn't really seem worried about that. We're happy to see Ron's HGB and WBCs holding nicely. We Praise God Daily and we Enjoy/Celebrate each day that he's in Remission. Based on Blood work, the doctor did tell us Ron's in Remission, but, he's scheduled for BMB next wed (9/16/09). His last one was at the beginning of his clinical trial and he had 5-6 chromosomal aberations and blasts were <5%. All blood counts were down and Ron was requiring transfusions approx every other week since first dx (Feb'09).
We keep all MDS patients and Caregivers in our prayers...
