I want the trials to start because I have patients I would love to see be in either a direct only or combination trials. For example, one with metastatic lung cancer and the other with metastatic rectal cancer. Both stopped chemo and are refusing treatment due to side effects. Last time I saw them, both were functioning at a high level. I have spent hours with both of them , much after hours in my office and on the phone trying to help them find some treatment options (again I am a surgeon, not a medical oncologist). Both I am certain would consider Direct if offerred. I don't care too much about a big check from big pharma, though I thing they would need help unless L is approved in some way/or solid positive news on it. I also think the collaboration/partnership would give validity. I can tell you first hand most medical oncologists are not sophisticated enough to see through what the media is saying about it.

I just want it to be a real option not a "possibility." I see easily one patient a week that I could reccomend to look into the trial. Would I love to solidify my investment and calm the little negative voice in my head? I would be a huge liar if I said no. It does not take away the fact it hurts to see these patients and I would love to think I helped in some little way to bring this treatment to more people if it truly works. With what I know about the science, I believe it really can. I think the biggest dent could come with combination treatment , scary possibilities in my opinion actually. Hope that helps.
