My father currently suffers from bladder cancer, he's currently in palliative care, he's in Ukraine. If there are any medical professionals here, could someone provide an advice - is there any chance to get him access to TAR-200? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

There are EU trials as well. Perhaps contact your physician, insurance or Johnson & Johnson directly. https://euclinicaltrials.eu/ctis-public/view/2023-507685-10-... To be honest, chances are slim to none. But worth a try. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

You may want to look at this study. Its preapproval expanded access. There is an email and phone numbers for the company which is running the study. Usually the further along the drug trial is they more the loosen the criteria. Wouldn't hurt the ask if its suitable for your father. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06877676?intr=TAR-200&ra... | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Pat Shoon Shiong had a cancer drug approved for targetting bladder cancer, don’t know whether Ukrainians can have access though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

1.look for clinicaltrial on https://clinicaltrials.gov/ . 2.See if your father qualifies for any 3. Enroll 4. Get B2 visa. All medical treatment is usually covered once you are accepted into the program. good luck! | |||||||||||||||||||||||

FWIW I can recommend Bundeswehrkrankenhaus Berlin, very good urology clinic there. Not sure if there's any chance for you since it's another country, but they're rather accepting and I'd say once there's patient with a life-threatening condition in their emergency they'd rather put them through the CT and into their surgical room rather than waste time. I feel a little shocked that your father is under palliative. |
