Good luck Amanda w/ comp use ! Hopefully in future the approval system world -wide will be more flexible for late stage IV pts. more pt involvement in decision -making. I hear lots of good ideas from people about improving access. Thinking of Australia, here some cancer advocates are trying to address the lack of trials in rural states thru legislative measures to attract pharm co's to do their trials there. I'm not up on details but ideas include offering laws requiring ins to cover total costs of later phase trials, etc. So we always hope for a better future !
