PARP inhibitors

by burrowes, Feb 11, 2008 05:58PM
i was diagnosed last april with the BRACA2 genetic mutation, after being on chemo for 5 years the doctors decided to put me on a phase 1 trial drug which is a PARP inhibitor, since then i have gone into part remission and am doing very well. as far as i am concerned this is a massive step forward for all cancer suffers which will open up a whole new world. has any body else experienced the PARP inhibitors.

hi Julie, i'm so happy to see this post. my cousin just started a PARP trial in the US this week. she is BRCA1 and the trial is PARP with carboplatin. i would love to hear any updates from you as she can use all the positive news she can get. i did send her the link and your post so hopefully she can log on.  
she was also diagnosed in 2002 with 3C  ovarian  and has endured a lot of chemo since then so we're all very hopeful about this trial.

Hi Julie,
I'm also BRCA2 positive, I'm going to discuss the PARP inhibitor to my oncologist, since I'll be starting my 3rd kind of chemo soon.
I'm staged 4B and remission is something that has eluded me for 2 1/2 years so far.

Good luck and please keep us updated.
Jane
