Hi all. Following my recent diagnosis I saw my oncologist yesterday 7th November. She said I was eligible for the CORINTH TRIAL It is a trial of immunotherapy Pembrolizumab alongside the standard Chemoradiotherapy  

Has anyone been offered this, or had it or have any direct knowledge of anyone having it?

Thanks

  • Hello Clarhedge

    This is the first time I have heard of this, but that is hardly surprising as a believe it is a relatively new trial and to my knowledge it hasn't been mentioned on the forum either.

    But if this is being offered alongside the standard treatment you will be checked very thoroughly all during treatment (as you would be anyway).

    So the ball is in your court as to whether you decide to go on this trial - good luck whatever you decide.

  • Hi Clarhedge a lady I talk to on another forum has been offered this trial and turned it down. I have added some screen shots of the relevant parts of our conversation. Xx

  • Thank you. I still haven’t spoken to the research nurse. The side effects are inflammatory if you get them. I know they use the drug for some Breast cancers. I still don’t know what I’ll decide. 

  • Hi its a big decision and one I don't envy you. Like I said the lady I speak to turned it down partly because of what she said in the screenshots and partly as it was gonna delay the start of her treatment and she just wants to get it done. Best of luck with what ever you decide. Xxx
