trial criteria

Hi, just wondered if anyone could tell me if being on medication for other conditions would exclude someone from taking part in a trial?
Rob's 21 month pcr has come back at 8% up from 3.7% at 18 months. Although we are disappointed ,we are relieved it has resulted in referral to Graham Smith, to discuss inclusion in nilotinib trial. Rob takes Epilim and is concerened he won't be eligable because of this.
ATB, Sal

Hi Sal
I'm sorry I can't tell you for sure one way or the other. I am sure Graham Smith will reassure you and if need be make a case to Novartis for Rob. Don't worry unduly. Good luck for Rob's appt. with Dr Smith. Let us know how Rob gets on. Sorry about the rising PCR but you are on the right road to Nilotinib.
Best wishes
Elizabeth
