Hello, I have been approved for the clinical trial through VA indianapolis but unfortunately they are no longer going to be able to do the program. I am trying to get into the program outside the veterans program. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much

The drug is probably not in clinical trial anymore because it is approved and being used.

I was approved for it, however I have chosen not to take it. I am not confident that it’s safe because it was pushed quickly through the FDA for their approval. Then Medicare quickly decided to pay the enormous cost involved. It’s $26,500. a year and only effective while you’re on it. To top it off, they will allow a person to get it for a max. of 18 months.

I wish you the best.
