Yes - please stop the cycle of 70 deaths then pull the drug! | 07-03-2008
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

Drugs are released to the market without adequate study, then, after around 70 to 100 patient deaths due to the drug are reported, the drug is pulled from the market.  Getting in front of this "problem" would improve the safety of our drug supply.

Lung cancer profiling- May lead to improvements in care! Implications for Genentech & others. | 07-03-2008
Author: Kenneth Algazy, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine , University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine - CC

We may be able to analyze EGFR mutations from periperal blood of lung cancer patients. Very frequently enough tissue fromm needle biopsies are not available for analysis. This may replace the need for new biopsies.

Amgen/Oral VEGF Inhibitor/Implications??? Interesting future! | 07-03-2008
Author: Kenneth Algazy, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine , University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine - CC

This oral Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) inhibitor appears to have activity in radioresistant differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Looks like the Britons don't care anyway... | 06-30-2008
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

Drug company (Roche) retaliates against an agency that speaks the truth about their chemical - that it's cost is not worth the minimal benefit.  This will become more common as time goes on, even here in the bastion of capitalism.

The heck with the impact on Roche. How about the patients?? | 06-30-2008
Author: Kenneth Algazy, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine , University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine - CC

Patients who wish to receive Avastin for breast and lung Cancer will need to pay for it themselves.
