KC Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Are we any closer to approval for this drug??? Anyone? Unfortunately, insurance companies won't pay for Avastin or Erbitux for the use in NSCLC, which I find to be a great injustice! Waiting on Tarceva.

john Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 This article says maybe by the beginning of next year. Iressa is supposed to be basically the same and it is fda approved now. I read somewhere that tarceva is "stronger", but not sure if the source of that information was OSI (the manufacturer). http://www.newsday.com/ny-biz-bzhope030 ... op-utility You can might be able to get Avastin in the following clinical trials http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/search ... tin%2Clung erbitux clinical trials http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/search ... mit=Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
