Cambria-II
Hi team My oncologist has floated the option of joining the Cambria-II trial for me. How on earth do I decide if this is for me or not? So much to consider
Forum Discussion
Thanks Arpie.
I'm 33, ER+, PR+, HER2-, grade 3 and am in medical menopause (Zoladex since Feb-25). Had mastectomy, sentinal node positive and then chemo & radiation.
I started on exemestane about 5 weeks ago (more suitable than tamox. per oncologist). Last week my oncologist called to put this trial to me which is 50/50 whether I would continue on with exemestane or swap it out with the trial drug.
I can see the pros and cons. And a lot of simply unknowns!
Hi NicoleUTM
Thanks for that. Check out this link too - and have a listen to the video - I think it may explain bits more for you.

The good thing would be that you won't be given a placebo (pretend) med .... you'll either be on an AI (like Exemestane that you are already taking) or may be given the Cambria 2 drug to 'trial'. This trial involves ongoing assessment & monitoring of your health (which is a good thing!)
This monitoring will go on for 7 years of the study, plus 10 years after the last person 'joins' the Trial! So if you DO decide to go on it - you'll be monitored for many years! (Not a bad thing!)
GorgyS was considering going on the trial and may have some pointers on her own decision making?
To be on the trial, you need to be on the AI meds for 12 weeks or less ... so you have a bit of time to make your decision .... good luck with your decision making!
