It's available in several U.S. sites even though it originated in Norway. More info at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00699751. However, it is a phase III trial with a placebo arm.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10577926.post-64070837112383887662010-11-10T16:18:59.132-06:002010-11-10T16:18:59.132-06:00David ,

There is no guarentee that the other trial you want will in fact open in Jan. Besides that Provenge would be great if You could overcome the insurance and availability obstacles, especially if you could still get abiraterone either on one trial or the other afterwards.<br />Another thought for later would be the new chemo approved and the different combinations of chemo written about on Howards site.<br />Dan JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10577926.post-28591826392955933872010-11-10T13:09:16.774-06:002010-11-10T13:09:16.774-06:00Still praying for you David.

It doesn't appear to be as widely available as Abiraterone but it looks promising.<br /><br />My Father in law is has been undergoing treatment with Abiraterone since April this year with outstanding results.

You can contact Nick at (702) 954-3400. He has had good success with the insurance companies. Nick is a world class prostate cancer oncologist that i personally use. You might consider that call for Abiraterone as well.<br /><br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
