October 2007 internationalclinical trial update

This month we will be reporting on international trials outside of the United States. Please refer to last month's or next month's newsletters for U.S. trials.

Imatinib + RAD001 Phase II

Clinicaltrials.gov now lists a phase II trial combining Gleevec (imatinib) + RAD001 (everolimus) as recruiting. Ten sites are listed in Germany, but we were unable to verify if all of these sites (or any of them) were open.

AMN107 Phase III

We have reports of as many as 30 sites being open. We were unable to confirm this at the time of this publication.

Palliative Radiation Phase I/II

A new trial using radiation for palliative treatment opened in Helsinki.
