      I thought it would be valuable for any AML patients considering treatment options to have the full correspondence form the LLS.
      You would like to stay in Florida, but you are willing to travel if needed. I have done a clinical trial search for relapsed AML throughout the US. You will find my results below and also attached in a Word document. There are many clinical trials that are available for relapsed AML. As you will see, I have sorted them into three different groups. The first group are trials that are located in Florida. The second section includes clinical trials located at MD Anderson. The third section are trials located in other parts of the US. As we discussed, I have eliminated early Phase 1 clinical trials.

      To access information about a particular trial, right click on the title of the trial and ‘open hyperlink’. This will bring you to a brief description; a list of centers where the trial is taking place; and some general information about the protocol. If you are interested in one of these trials and there is not specific information about the site, let me know and I can research that information for you.

  • 8Ting posted an update in the group Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML Advocate Network

    I am looking for information regarding the safety and efficacy of using Zarxio in improving WBC situation after chemo to treat Myeloid for a friend, His doctor suggested starting Zarxio inject but did not give much more about why and how effective it has been and what is the side effect. If anyone here knows more and can share, that will be great.

    • Eric Drew replied

      Thank you very much 8Ting for reaching out. I do not have personal experience with this drug, but WeHeal partners with other organizations to make sure you find the answer you need. I did find some answers at the link attached, but you may also want to contact one of the advocates at our partner Cancer Commons (CancerCommons.org). Just go to the patients tab and fill out the ASK form, and one of the advocates there will respond and hopefully will be able to give you more details. The leukemia lymphoma society also has an advocate center, and often contacting the pharma company who makes the drug can be the best source of info. https://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/filgrastim

  • Do you have or know someone who is a Sibling who has found the battle: “Oh Brother: Being the Sibling of a Kid With Cancer” :

  • DocT posted an update in the group Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML Advocate Network

    Hoping vitamin D (in high doses) will have an inhibitory effect on AML cell proliferation, as this 2013 article states, ” these data suggest that 25(OH) vitamin D3 exerts both direct anti-proliferative effects on leukemia cells and direct/indirect leukemia inhibitory microenvironment reprograming activities”

    • Eric Drew replied

      Thanks DocT for posting this, and please let us know how the study turns out! Our goal is to make this data available for all AML treatment providers, patients, and researchers! We will be organizing an oversight committee for this community to do just that!
