Compassionate use requires there to be efficacy signals for a disease. Currently there are no Kevetrin data (that I know of) for pancreatic cancer.

Ginsberg is lucky enough to be on the same platinum medical care plan as Congress, senators, White House cabinet and POTUS. Her cancer was detected early enough that the only effective treatment available could be applied, pancreas resection. The vast majority of pancreatic cancers are detected only after the pancreas stops working sufficiently and there are no tissues left not cancerous. In fact, by the time it’s detected it is already late stage and has already metastasized.

Kevetrin as a treatment will likely need to be adjusted to target the pancreas by combination, turning the molecule into a chimera, or direct injection (ouch). In any case, until there is efficacy signals and a clear strategy for treatment course, it’s unlikely to be used as a treatment of last resort for PC. At the point of compassionate use, most authorities see late stage PC as untreatable.

There is currently 3D printer stem cell technology that creates and grows small replacement organs. This is likely the only effective PC treatment in the next 2 decades. But, it takes several months to grow even a small organ and PC patients usually have less than 6 months
