ONW you can consider this thou, i suspect that drugs to treat end stage cancer to be effective on a case by case basis would still have been and are still in trial, otherwise the data would not be available at all for any doctor to consider a prescription. So in Moditope case lets say it turns out to be safe, and very effective, at phase 2 results you could consider this option to treat on a non approved basis end stage cancer patients, however as we know, they will still need a minimum of 3 to 5 months of life available for the vaccine to get a foothold to break tolerance and possibly longer in patients that are immune compromised
SCIB1 would not fall into this area, until its completed a phase 2 combo, as an adjuvant trials are to early stage to meet the Trump criteria.
However the science is available to show it could be of benefit .... as a combo.
But Who Pays ... ?
Scancell cannot subsidise the system ..
and scancell would have to "gear up" to manufacture and supply ....thus entering into a highly complex Dr To Manufacture relationship and the moral dilemma of treatment to patients with money but maybe cannot be saved. for the press then to come out with "greedy" ...
