Clinical Trial searches

hello all

Three times during this melanoma journey, i have had to search for clinical trials. When that happens, I get totally consumed in a complex

process. Thanks to the folks on this site who have offered help- i am so grateful for that. This time, i added Trialjectory to

my arsenal and I wanted to share that it was a very positive experience. It is a free service and they use AI to locate trials that are appropriate for you . More than that, a nice person follows up , offers additional

help such as contacting an individual researcher for you or seeking specific inclusion criteria. We didn’t end up using one of their suggested trials this time, but i was impressed by the support they offered.

We went on our rounds of second opinions once again and ended up following the advice of our MD Anderson physician to try a marketed therapy - TVEK plus Keytruda . My son has had three doses and the tumor is visibly smaller.

I am keeping a close eye on new developments and am very interested in TIL if needed in the future.

i did want to share the kind treatment I received from Trialjectory. They were supportive and knowledgable.

Glad to hear your experience was so good. I have a friend and dual cancer survivor who also has found this an excellent resource. Keep us up on the progress please.

Peace,
