PEDIATRIC CANCER: Were are the drugs? Childhood Cancer meet ...

Dennis Quad supports The Creating Hope Act.  (good video).  KidsVCancer.org  http://bit.ly/okogAG  The Creating Hope Act of 2011 would encourage the creation of new drugs for underserved children who suffer from serious and rare medical conditions, including life-threatening cancers, by providing a voucher to pharmaceutical companies who develop such drugs. This voucher could be used to secure expedited FDA approval for any other drug — particularly a blockbuster drug– so that that drug could be delivered to market faster. The voucher would constitute a strong, market incentive for pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs for children with serious and rare diseases, such as cancer. The Act builds on the “FDA Amendments Act of 2007,” which established a voucher for drug development for neglected tropical diseases. #PEDIATRICCANCER: Were are the drugs Childhood Cancer meet Creating Hope Act.
