Based on the fact that this is a brand new discovery and the first clinical trial already starting in November, this seems a pretty fast timeline. It usually takes forever to start a clinical trial. That's what made me hopeful.... cautiously hopeful ❤️

I didn’t realise they were starting human trials so soon....fingers crossed this is the start of something positive....when I asked my oncologist 25 years ago about my worry over having daughters and them getting breast cancer...he said not to worry as there’s be a cure by then...yet there still isn’t!!!!

So I am clueless on how trials work. If they start this trial in November how long do they run it till they say if it works or doesn't ? 1 year 2 years????

in reply toJustme153

Impossible to know. It all depends how many will be in the trial and if it's a double blind trial. The FDA is known to give accelerated approval on distribution to the population. But that has happened on patented drugs and I'm not sure how an immunotherapy would qualify for that. This is so new and so little information is available. My gut tells me it will be first available for those that can afford it. Hopefully I'm very wrong on that.

I'm such a nerd too! Here's the article in an easier to digest form and see it's potential. If we don't keep hope we have nothing.

I was not able to read the entire article without paying, but I think I got the lede/gist of it, and it's so interesting!!!

I've been really intrigued by the connection between our own immune systems and cancer. My sister and I were both diagnosed metastatic 5 years ago, after initial diagnoses 5 year prior. I'm doing very well and she's doing incredibly well, since she has triple=negative and takes no meds/treatment, aside from an occasional surgery to remove tumors in her lung. Her life expectancy at metastatic dx was 9 months...we're now 5 years in and she's NED. I'm doing well, but have widespread bone mets and sometimes wonder if the fact that I take meds that suppress my immune system is actually working against me? I.e. if I have a physiology/immune system that could fight this off, am I weakening my best weapon? I don't know, but I'm not willing to give up the drugs....yet!

My sis and I are both participants in a study out of U. of Wisconsin re: "extreme survivors" of BC...they're trying to figure out why some women live a long time. Maybe this immune system factor noted in the article is part of that? I'll reach out to my contact there to bring this up, because, yes, I am that pushy! :)

Thanks for sharing....

Best, Lynn
