ac-225-psma-617 - updated results

You would think that these advanced treatments would be pioneered in the United States, considering all the money that is spent here on cancer research....These new radiopharmaceuticals are being used to treat patients in several foreign countries while in the U.S. you must hope to get into a clinical trial and then hope you don't end up in the control group.....A group of men in Australia are being treated with Lu-PSMA-617 and are showing spectacular results..In Germany, another group are being treated with AC-225-PSMA with even better results..

In The States, first you obtain a patent on the treatment or drug you are developing..Then you sponsor several clinical trials. If successful and you get FDA approval, you then sell the patent to the highest bidder who markets the drug or treatment at astronomical prices...

Several fallacies in that post. Why do you think all the 'smart' people live in the USA? Credit German, Dutch and many other investigators who thought that PSMA was a good target to explore.

For the record, the FDA tries to prevent thalidomide-like disasters. For more recent history, let's mention the 'black box' warnings for cipro. They do that because it's the law. You can try to change the law, as has happened recently with the 'right-to-try' movement.
