Looking at a possible clinical trial for my husband with an ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) called ABBV-321 that targets EGFR. The trial has identified a maximum dose and is now in the expanded safety phase. Any one know anything about this? https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03234712
My husband's tumor is showing progression, so if he's deemed eligible for the trial then we'd be choosing between the trial or a combo of CCNU/Avastin/Tagrisso (the latter to target that EGFR amplification). Choices, choices....

Tagrisso ?
Hello, first post here, from the husband of a dear wife recently diagnosed with a Grade IV glioblastoma. Red flags at a UCLA Urgent Care led to a ct scan followed by an MRI and admission. Complete resection was performed 30 hours later. She followed up with radiochem, and is now in her second course of adjuvant Temodar. We were approved for Optune and are now two weeks in with that, holding firm at about 95% compliance and are also madly ingesting basically everything in the "A" list from the list in the library, thanks to a lot of wonderful help from Mike B here.
Anyway, our doctor suggested we might benefit from a drug called Tagrisso, from AstraZeneca Medicines. Don't see anything about that in the stacks so far, so was wondering if anyone has any thoughts regarding it. It's proven to be an efficacious treatment for lung cancer but could have crossover value since apparantly it crosses the BBB.
