| H. Jack West, MD @JackWestMD T1) So we really need a nat'l “Right to Try” legislation, beyond today’s Expanded Use/Compassionate Use for investigational agents? #lcsm |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily Welcome @kscoon!. Good to see you again @IanJPereira. #lcsm |
| Faces of Lung Cancer @LungCancerFaces @EdenLake Best hopes, Eden. #lcsm |
| H. Jack West, MD @JackWestMD That should have been "do we need..." #lcsm |
| LUNGevity Foundation @LUNGevity A1: No, in fact it could reduce or threaten the protections afforded to patient through the current process #lcsm |

| H. Jack West, MD @JackWestMD T1) Right to try removes insurance coverage for complics of new treatments. Routine protocol safeguards not present w/Right to Try. #lcsm |
| Kristine Cherol @kscoon A1- it’s my understanding- at least from secondhand experience that sometimes Compassionate Use can be a bit difficult. I’m for it if “right to try” makes it easier for access. https://t.co/ntDB6ZIJst |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily T1 Right to try laws in the states haven't made much difference in patient access that I can see. Laws don't force pharma to make their drugs available for free to anyone who wants them. They just make docs less liable. #lcsm |
| H. Jack West, MD @JackWestMD A1) Do ppl have experience w/compassionate use? Detractors of Right to Try say we already have good system. True? #lcsm |
| Karen Loss @cancertrek T1: Might it cause more patients to ignore SOC treatments in favor of untried or unsafe methods touted through the grapevine? #lcsm |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily @JackWestMD Yes, you do... Some pots need stirring now and then. ;) #LCSM |

| Dr Riyaz Shah @DrRiyazShah A1: I would worry that it might drive away innovators. Cost of manufacture of IMP’s may be high. You need to make enough to do the trials. What if “off study” patients soak up supply? #lcsm |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily Hiya @dennycee #lcsm |
| Faces of Lung Cancer @LungCancerFaces @dennycee We've been waiting for you. #lcsm |
| Anita Figueras @scifiknitter T1 I wonder who would pay for the drugs and how that would happen. Expanded Access has a mechanism, I've seen no proposals on how Right to try would handle that. #lcsm |

| H. Jack West, MD @JackWestMD We'll move to T2 in another minute. All of the topics tie together anyway. #lcsm |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily A1 Compassionate use takes long time and assistance to navigate, and sometimes drug still isn't accessible. Not sure Right to Try fixes the issues. #LCSM |

| Ian Pereira @IanJPereira @TuftsB @DrRiyazShah @JackWestMD @JFreemanDaily @cancertrek I've heard the analogy that health data is like water coming out of a fire hydrant - hard to take in and control. The FDA was mandated to help. #RTT may take that away - to the benefit of some, risk to others? #lcsm t4 |

 | Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly @lgreco_ny Yes! We advanced/metastatic patients aren't stupid and we should be allowed to take risks - we're dying anyway. ideally, I'd like to see CU tweaked, but until then RTT is another option, if you live in one of the 38 states where it's available now #lcsm |
| Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly In an almost perfect world, FDA compassionate use would 1)require pharma to supply drug, 2) be less cumbersome (private practice oncs don't have IRBs), 3) would allow us access earlier, before on death's doorstep. Since world is far from perfect, RTT is an imperfect option #LCSM |
