Agreed. Life-saving meds should be approved. Right now I’m taking Keytruda. Although FDA approved for some cancers, it is not approved for mine so insurance won’t pay for it and it is $16,000 every 3 weeks. Merck is providing it to me for free — compassionate use — because they believe it will help me. It is. It is working miracles for me and we expect a full remission after 7 years fighting. This drug could save tens of thousands of lives right now, but those poor people will likely die instead, waiting on clinical trials for “their” cancer test with the drug. It’s obscene.
I agree, and you are the exact person I was advocating for with that part of my comments.
There’s no reason the compassionate use path could not be used more for human trials.
If there’s no other hope, take the lifeline route. Death is a pretty bad outcome for non-provision, I’d say.
Best wishes for you. I hope this gives you complete victory.
Glad to see that you have new hope. God bless you
