Drug Proves Effective in Slowing Melanomas
Date:4/15/2008
more extensive (phase 1/2) trial," Goydos said. He expects it will begin later this year and include 50 to 100 patients with stage 4 melanoma.
"I think this drug is going to be extremely important as an adjunct to surgical treatment of stage 3 or stage 4 melanoma," Goydos said. "The challenge is to keep it from recurring, which has happened in patients on the order of 50 percent. With low toxicity likely, riluzole could potentially be given for long periods of time to slow down the metabolic process responsible for the disease's recurrence."
