RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:I still hear this crapolaHi All;
NMIBC cancer may not be life threatening initially, however, in the USA alone.....
It is estimated that 17,240 deaths (12,520 men and 4,720 women) from this disease will occur this year. Among men, bladder cancer is eighth most common cause of cancer death.

The best of luck to all longs;

I could imagine that the 50-60% of BCG failed cases of those who also failed experimental treatments like Vicinium or others would want to keep their bladders. If one is given the chance to get a very promising treatment which is deemed safe and has a high chance of being effective, I cannot see who wouldn't want to try.
As for GBM, they need to pass safety first with Rutherin, which is why they are preparing the landscape to maximize both safety and efficacy. I already have a patient of mine informed and possibly willing to participate in a GBM PH1 trial.

With GBM this is most likely to be an indication for the right to try. I personally would leave Trump out of any healthcare related decisions, I believe he is a bafoon. And we currently have no idea whether or not the IV administation of TLD 1433 looks anything like the instillation method in terms of safety so it really is too early to even talk about right to try with TLD 1433.
Question: If senator Mclean were to opt to try TLD 1433 for GBM and it destroys his cancer but the treatment leaves him an a vegitative state, what would that do to our investment?
You may be hard pressed to find volunteers to complete our study afterwards.
My guess is that Theralse will not make this available until it is stuidied appropriately. There is too much at risk.
I am all for efficiency and getting things done but I also know that whenever we try to effect change in someones body we normally bugger something else up. Speaking from experience :)
Could we get rid of some red tape, sure. But there are regulations and protocols in place for a reason.
