"Category: Patient. Tumor location: I have Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Pecs and scapula to crown of head, predominantly on left side of face. Tumors too numerous to count. Mohs surgeries continued concurrent with dosing. I was an original participant in Phase 1 clinical trial. of Erivedge Participated from Phase 1 through FDA approval. Dosed from Nov. 2007 thru March 2020. First observation of tumor shrinkage late March / early April 2008. From that time, for a time, saw and acceleration of tumor shrinkage, involution and "disappearance" with approx. 80% of tumors. Side effects: Severe muscle cramps, muscle spasms, loss of hair, beard, eye brows, eyelashes and body hair. Medicine worked well until roughly 2017. Noticed regrowth or new growth in or about same locations where tumors previously affected by Erivedge were located. Attending physicians have commented that the cancer cells, over time, can "smarten-up" to a molecular therapy, making said therapy less effective, but with each case being unique to the patient."
