If you’d like to join  me in letting Carrie Scott,  Global Head,  Corporate Responsibility   Communications and Reporting, know what you think of Novartis cost of $10,000  a month for nilotinib, a cancer drug that has dramatically helped late stage Parkinson patients in a Phase 1 trial.

her email  is:

I understand that the drugs developer Dr. Brian Druker received a taxpayer funded NIH grant to do the research.

Novartis mission statement  is  patient “caring and curing”.    How is this possible at $125,000 year for a drug patients can’t afford ?

If  you do  decide to express yourself, please just cc me with your comments.   Feel free to  use anything I have written or email me if you have questions.   Trials are planned for Alzheimers too.

How awful if there is hope,, but only for the rich.
