“The charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research hopes to speed up the delivery of new drug treatments by linking together 13 UK research centres.”
The mission of our Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) is to resolve some of the very issues that this story presents for the patients in England and market obstacles to get new drugs to the patients. Even drugs that have been approved in the US are not readily available for the folks across the pond.
Here’s hoping that they have found a workable solution to being able to get these new drugs through speedy trials and available more broadly to their patients.
“There are so many different blood cancers – the most common cause of cancer deaths in the under 35s – that it has often been seen as uneconomical to develop drugs for many types, says the charity.”
