My Personal Clinical Trial News and Travails from the James at OSU and My Take on IV versus Oral Therapies.

Friends

I spent 11 hours at DFW (Dallas airport) on Monday on my way to see Dr. Byrd, and I am flying back there tomorrow and they are calling for more thunderstorms.

If you want to read the gruesome details and my pernicious reflections on what it means to be in a clinical trial on the other side of the country please check out my blog: bkoffman.blogspot.com

If you want to read and listen to my reflections on oral versus IV meds, please check out the CLL Society website here: cllsociety.org/2015/05/oral...

Off to ASCO via Orlando where I am lecturing on MDS to my fellow family doctors

Too little CLL news at ASCO.

One short education session on CLL, only 2 oral abstracts, and really only a handful of interesting paper, but it is a good chance to catch up with many of the major researchers and way cheaper than a flight to Vienna for EHA. And my granddaughter lives in Chicago.

Stay strong.

We are all in this together.

Doc,

I hope you are over your URI. I'm a little disappointed about the lack of news on CLL. I wanted to hear more about new meds coming for BTK resistance and FDA approval timeline for ABT-199. I guess that stuff gets released at ASH.

On a more personal note, won't there be release of midterm results of my phase 3 idelalisib/R/B?

Doc

Just a message from France, Fludarabine is in standard given orally during the FCR protocol.

Thanks for your interesting posts.
