My hopes were dashed last night on 60 minutes. I had been reading about red wine and cancer:
[quote]What have red wine studies found?

The cell and animal studies of red wine have examined effects in several cancers including leukemia, skin , breast, and prostate cancers . Scientists are studying resveratrol to learn more about its cancer preventive activities. Recent evidence from animal studies suggests this anti-inflammatory compound may be an effective chemopreventive agent in three stages of the cancer process: initiation, promotion, and progression.[/quote]
So I felt good about putting that red wine into my PEG tube. Then Morley Safer had a segment on the new Resveratrol pill with their scientists who explained it would take a THOUSAND BOTTLES OF WINE A DAY to get the dose they used for the above noted effects. Still it sounds very promising (big Pharm even bought out the start up company ) with projected availability in FIVE years until Morley pointed out that 9 out 10 drugs that cure cancer in mice do NOT work on humans.
I was going to post this in adjunctive therapy but right now it's not even ready for that forum then I did have a question that maybe the resourceful people here may give me a lead.
QUESTION: Human trials are supposed to be starting and I was wondering if any of you know tips or tricks to get into a study like this? Is there a clearinghouse for these early studies (I know about studies of already approved drugs like Erbitux but this is not FDA approved )thanks
