    Alert Number 120

    Dr. Faderl's Response

      — and Comments from Us and Professor Terry Hamblin

    Date: August 12, 2024

    We are pleased to report that Dr. Stefan Faderl, the principal investigator at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center for the FCR+M and Neulasta clinical trial, has responded to our letter and the review of the clinical trial we published yesterday. As promised, his detailed and thoughtful response to the troubling questions we raised is published on our website, together with an exchange of emails specifically on the subject of cardiac toxicity. You can read this part of the saga in More on Mitoxantrone plus FCR. This is “must read” material if you are thinking of participating in this or for that matter any other clinical trial.

    There is a great deal of common ground between patients looking for better therapy options and researchers who spend their lives looking for better answers. The process works a whole lot better when patient groups are given a voice in the way clinical trials are conducted. The developments of the past few days underline, once more, the need for patient participation in Institutional Review Boards.

    Be well,

    Chaya
