Yesterday's TCLN news release was great news, but there will be more news coming from this Phase I. I went back to the July 21 news release concerning the amended protocol for the Phase I and found this.....

"The amended dosing protocol is patient specific, is based on the volume of the brain tumor observed, and on delivering a single dose of approximately 15,000 rads of radiation to the primary tumor. Under the amended protocol, the remaining patients (estimated at 6-9) in this Phase I trial will be treated with the new individual dosing regimen."

I eMailed TCLN yesterday to ask if this was still the plan and the response was that the current Phase I will include testing with the 15,000 rad dose. Apparently we won't have to wait for the Phase II to see results from the higher dose regimen.

If the results show significant success and safety at the higher dosage, Nov. 12 could be an historic day for TCLN and my vacation plans!
