Andy, I did a search and found nothing for mycopia. It's probably spelled wrong, but I have no idea of the correct spelling. Speaking of trials, I found this old (April, 1996) announcement of a Targretin Head & Neck trial at MD Anderson, which I think is where the sky diver enrolled (he had cancer of the tongue and month and also had a remarkable recovery after failure of chemotherapy):
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is conducting a trial of a new drug, LGD 1069
(TARGRETIN <tm> capsules). The purpose of the trial is to determine how
well patients with advanced head/neck squamous cell cancer tolerate
treatment with LGD 1069. Investigators will also determine if tumors
shrink with this treatment.
LGD 1069 will be provided free of charge by the study sponsor, Ligand
Pharmaceuticals. It is possible that this treatment may reduce the size
of a tumor, which could result in increased comfort and help patients live
longer. This is an experimental drug trial.
For more information about the study, or for information on how to
register, call or write:
