Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 I have a question...was this drug just found to not be effective for Nf2 meningiomas or just not effective for all meningiomas? Because it would not make any sense at all for it to simply not be effective for only Nf2 meningiomas.....there is no histolological/pathological difference. Which makes me wonder was it actually trialled with Nf2 patients? I haven't come across any trials for Nf2 patients with this drug... can anybody shed any light? rosemary.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Rosemary, I know for sure that RU486 was tested on many NF2 patients. There was a good article on this at the time in the NF2 Review. I don't know how the results turned out. From what others have said, it seems the test results were not good. >I have a question...was this drug just found to not be effective for Nf2 >meningiomas or just not effective for all meningiomas? > >Because it would not make any sense at all for it to simply not be >effective for only Nf2 meningiomas.....there is no >histolological/pathological difference. > >Which makes me wonder was it actually trialled with Nf2 patients? >I haven't come across any trials for Nf2 patients with this drug... >can anybody shed any light? >rosemary. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
