BPS Oncology Dumps Exam Question No 3

Question No 3:

The family of a 34-year-old female with advanced metastatic cervical cancer has contacted the patient's oncologist about a new experimental drug they heard about on the evening news. The drug is in clinical trials at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and has shown promising results in the first four patients with cervical cancer who were treated. The current patient has failed all known treatment options, and because of her history of breast cancer, she is not eligible for any other clinical trials. The oncologist contacts the oncology pharmacy to inquire about the appropriate procedures for obtaining the drug. The most appropriate method is by a/an:

A. Orphan drug protocol.
B. Abbreviated new drug application.
