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 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
