i started the co-1686 trial on monday january 7, 2013 at stanford cancer center- i am the first in cohort 11 and am taking 400 mg 3 times a day for a total of 1200 mg- another cohort is taking same total dose but 600 mg 2 times a day at UCLA- after 27 hours i noticed a reduction in my coughing by about 60% - this continues through days 3 and 4 with my hope that it completely eliminates the cough in the next week or two - i have had NO side/adverse effects to this point- i am very active riding my bike and/or exercising every day- previous to this i had been on tarceva for about 13 months til some progression and the carboplatin and alimta for 6 cycles- the tarceva was great as i had no adverse effects and had even more than my usual energy- the carbo/alimta was not as effective and did cause my blood counts to go down , but i was able to keep up my exercise schedule but at a lower rate - i expect that there will be a report at the ASCO meeting in may/june about the progress of CO-1686- stay tuned for more updates in the future.

I had bad reaction. Not for me. I am T790 and had a flair.
Just found that I had almost complete response to carbo/taxol/avastin.:} I had horrible joint pain on co1686.
What I am trying to say is it sounds like it is working for you!!! Higher dose is great. I think no side-effects is super positive. Prayers are with you.

stage IV EGFR+ NSCLC and resistant to Tarceva and afatinib.
Before CO-1686, I had a pleural effussion and had to have fluid removed twice within 10 days. After 6 weeks on the study drug, there was only a little left on the CT scan. All of my 6 week CT scans were stable even though I am T790M negative. I'm at 8 weeks now and can take a full breath with no coughing. Still no side effects...

I began 400 mg three times a day for a total of 1200 mg of CO-1686 on December 26th. I have developed some severe back back which may, or may OT, be related to the drug. An MRI today revealed no mets, or other problems that would show up on an MRI. So, we are hoping it is a muscular issue that can be managed with a little pain meds, heat and rest. Still waiting for the genetic testing results to come back regarding the 790 mutation. My doctor thinks that will likely be positive. The good news is that, with the exception of the back pain, I have had no side effects from CO-1686. My skin, which was wrecked by Tarceva, is back to normal, as is my digestive tract. My first scan will be the 30th of January. We are all crossing our fingers.

ConcordGal and solozip: Glad to hear the 1200 mg dose per day is going so well. I'm going to get my dose bumped up from 900 mg per day to 1200 mg if the group continues to do well. I'll be taking 600 mg twice a day. I'm in Detroit, Michigan @ Karmanos Cancer Center.
