Anyone taking Panitumimab?

Are they almost out of names?

"Panitumimab" is supposed to be good stuff, working to block one of the pathways for the cancer to get new blood supply (anti-angiogenic). I was very satisfied with results from Avastin (anti-angiogenic) last year (actually worked to stop cancer growth for about 11 months until the cancer got too smart for it and yet left decent quality of life)

I am told that Panitumimab may be available as early as September 06, but may be as late as December 06.

Anyone have the scoop?

Anyone tried Panitumimab in a trial?

If so, did it work and what did you combine it with?

What was your quality of life?

Thanks,
Tony

    I don't have any experience with the drug but have heard that approval might be announced in mid-September. Hope that helps.
