Well, I was going to try to share about the double blind study that Woody will be participating in, but so far the information that I have found has been sketchy and isn't all that understandable...at least not for me. I will keep searching.
Here is the small amount that we know:
Everyone in the study gets the chemo drug Tremodar, then 1/2 will get ABT 888 and the other 1/2 will get a placebo. They are trying to find out if adding ABT 888 increases the effectiveness of Tremodar on melanoma. Dr. Sosman said that Woody would have scans every 6-8 weeks to see if this treatment is helping. And, if it is determined that it isn't helping that Woody can switch to another study. This study is currently open to new participants, but the other two studies aren't, so Woody is being put on a waiting list for those.
So far we haven't heard from Dr. Sosman's office as to when Woody will start participating in this study. Woody is ready to get this next show on the road!
