Generally the options available before the clinical trial are still available if the trial fails. The issues that must be discussed with your OC include drug interactions with residual drugs from the trial, immunology impacts, potential for SCT, etc. Remember a failing trial includes some patients that were never on the trial protocol (blind study) and may not be impacted by the failure at all. Please hold discussions with your OC, MM specialist, and those who ran the study. Best wishes!!
