regarding clinical trail for dasatinib

hi all,
Good morning to all.i am back. anyway again i give a small intro to all. i am kiruba ,26 years old.diagnosed with CML in 2007.At present i am staying in tamilnadu, india.

I am taking GLIVEC for past 2 years.

At the initial stage my fish test shows 85% ve. so doctors advise to take glivec 600mg and then 800mg.

At present my fish test result becomes 95% positive.so my doctor advise me to take dasatinib tablet.but it was very costly and cannot able to buy that tablet.

I get GLIVEC tablet through a patient assistance program called GIPAP.

can anyone tell me any patient assistant program available for this tablet dasatinib in india or any other places in asia?

before one year tissue matching test was performed with my own brother...but unfortunately it was complete mismatch.

so i am looking for unmatched donor at present.but i dont now where to register for taht.and also i dont know how much it will helpful for me.

Becoz i heard tat unmatched bone marrow will lead to lot of side effects..

Plz advise me....

Thanks to all,

Have a nice day....

Hi Kiruba,
Sorry to hear that Glivec hasn't been working for you. Can I suggest you also post this message on the Asian CML Support Group site: http://asia.groups.yahoo.com/group/AsianCMLSupportGroup/
I know this group has quite a few members in India and they are likely to have have the best information on drug availability there.
Best of luck
Phil
