Keytruda approved on an off label basis for our patient in US (Nov.2016)

Post by Olga »

We now have a case reported by one of our patient's mother that her son is now getting Ketruda in US approved by their insurance

there is some response from that patient's tumor's already, combined with the radiation treatment to his sinuses tumor, but there is also a response from the lung mets that are not irradiated to the response can be attributed to Keyruda only.
It is a very significant development and I recommend all the patient's that are not qualified for the clinical trial in Miami and have no surgical or local ablation options for their progressive metastatic disease, consult your oncologist how to get them Keytruda paid by the insurance off label as well.
To communicate doctor to doctor there is his oncologist contact info provided graciously by the patient's mother:
Oncologist: Dr. Brian Greffe (720) 777-6740.
