0409 -
040901 - The first treatment on the clinical study began on 070201 with
040902 - cetuximab alone, ref SDS 4 G68I, and continued for 14 cycles.
040904 - ..
040905 - Continue 15th cycle on clinical study with cetuximab. Today is the
040906 - 4th treatment of the 15th cycle, and for the 1st cycle with cetuximab
040907 - and Carboplatin together. Since the doctor deferred treatment with
040908 - Carboplatin for the 1st treatment on 080306, and since last week
040909 - Millie's blood counts were too low for treatment, she was not treated
040910 - with Carboplatin. Since today is the 4th treatment and the case study
040911 - protocol schedules Carboplatin to be skipped, this was followed today,
040912 - rather than attempt to catch up on the volume of treatment with
040913 - Carboplatin. Therefore for the 1st cycle Millie received only 1
040914 - treatment with Carboplatin rather than the prescribed 3 treatments.

050406 - Adding Carboplatin to the treatment protocol now requires weekly blood
050407 - tests to evaluate primarily NEUTS for determining if the immune system
050408 - is strong enough for safe chemotherapy treatment, reported on 070201,

050485 - Blood counts rising significantly today, e.g., NEUTS 2.30, ref SDS 0
050486 - QY6H, compared with NEUTS 1.28 last week on 080320, ref SDS 50 QY6H,
050487 - marks a change in patient history. For the past year Millie's blood
050488 - counts have rarely, if ever, been over 2.0, and were mostly below the
050489 - target range for safe treatment. The report on 080306 showing sudden
050490 - rise to 2.75, ref SDS 48 QY6H, was therefore very surprising, noted in
050491 - the meeting with the medical team. ref SDS 47 033B The drop to NEUTS
050492 - 1.28 well below the target range shows significant effect of
050493 - Carboplatin chemotherapy treatment, which was expected, reported in
050494 - the letter to UCSF on 080219. ref SDS 42 1K4P
050496 - ..
050497 - Skipping treatment with Carboplatin allowed Millie's energy to
050498 - recover, and so this past week she has increased exercise, for example
050499 - hiking and additional 3 miles. This may account for the recovery of
050500 - blood counts today, showing NEUTS 2.30. ref SDS 0 QY6H
050502 - ..
050503 - How can treatments be balanced to allow sufficient exercise for
050504 - keeping blood counts high enought to get enough treatment to be
050505 - effective and also avoid adding additional treatment with Neupogen?
050507 - ..
050508 - The pharmacy person discussed Millie's case with Catherine, noting
050509 - that the doctor's treatment protocol received on 080313 calls for
050510 - treatment with Carboplatin for only the 1st 3 treatments of the cycle,
050511 - ref SDS 49 4F56, and since today is the 4th treatment in the cycle,
050512 - the pharmacist requested specific authority to prepare and release
050513 - Carboplatin treatment.
050515 - ..
050516 - Actually, the protocol does not expressly state treatments must run
050517 - concurrent, so it is not clear why treatment cannot be given today, to
050518 - make up for not getting treatment 2 of the other 3 weeks.
050520 - ..
050521 - Catherine checked with Brigid, as called out in treatment instructions
050522 - received on 080313. ref SDS 49 4F8W UCSF decided to skip treatment
050523 - with Carboplatin again today, the chemotherapy arm of the clinical
050524 - study. There seemed to be an explanation that clinical study
050525 - requirements prevent prescribing Nupigen to increase blood counts for
050526 - getting treatment.
050527 -
050528 - [On 080904 case study neutropenia Millie's patient history.
050529 - ref SDS 51 8O7I
050531 - ..
050532 - Patient history shows Millie has received Nupigen (self-administered
050533 - at home) on 3 occassion since 2002, and has routinely received
050534 - chemotherapy with low blood counts, reported in case study on 060810.
050535 - ref SDS 2 HV45
050537 - ..
050538 - Reducing frequency of getting chemotherapy may extend the period of
050539 - effectiveness by stretching out the mutation process.
