Thanks for your replies. I was wondering if dacogen, or vidaza actually extends the lifespan or onset to aml. The package insert for dacogen says no. This afternoon I have an appt w/ the stem cell dr. The sgi 110 is a phase 1/2 trial they are trying to determine the MTD for sgi 110 , I wouldnt know if I was getting 60mg or 90 mg. There is no data yet from the initial trial.
I agree in that why go w/a clinical trial when theres dacogen, and vidaza.
I have a lot of questions for him so ill ask. I dont meet with that speciaist till next week but the initial consult he recommended treatment untilfinding stem cell match. Thanks for the info. Its a lot to digest and there are quality of life issues. for example. If the initial prognosis is 15 months but the treatment takes 2 months and you get the side effects and whatever but extend life by 3 months is it worth it?.. stuff like that.
Thanks again.
