      My husband is currently enrolled in a clinical trial for stage III & IV melanoma. The trial is through the Chao Cancer Center in Orange, California. It involves three weeks on chemo (paciltaxel) & one week off with daily oral dose of GSK’s Pazopmib. Anyone else on this board hear or know first hand a out this trial? My husband is getting positive results so far, but, I would feel better if I knew more info. There’s very little I can find on line since pazopmib is only currently approved for renal cell carcinoma. Reading some of the patient survivor stories has helped my a great deal.
