I am being treated with AEB071 – 400 mg. twice a day. I have stage 4 ocular melanoma which has spread to my lungs. I have been on the trial for 9 months. I had a CT scan on 21st December which showed no progression of my disease, and my oncologist says that he would have expected spread if I were not taking the medicine.

I live near London and am a patient of Dr. James Larkin at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

The side effects are real but not too serious. Constipation, treated with co-danthramer (25mg Dantron and 200mg Pploxame) once daily. Mild nausea, controlled with anti emetics, and bright orange urine! I feel a bit tired, but whether this is due to the medicine or to my age (67) is hard to say. Much prererable to progressing disease, and I enjoy a high quality of life.

Go for it. I don't think that there is any other effective treatment for metastatic ocular melanoma, but the treatment is very specific to the mutation that is causing your cancer to spread, and I am probably very lucky to have the mutation(s) on which AEB071 is effective.
