Belzutifan / Welireg Question?

anonymous

Guest
Is there a doctor in the Los Angeles area who is really familiar with or expert with Belzutifan?
Doctor name ? Location?

Do they write it for people who do NOT have VHL but have a PNET? Does insurance cover it?
It is indicated for PNET unrelated to VHL?

I have seen this question elsewhere. The think this drug may be good for other cancers. Not sure which ones besides VHL.
 








looks like someone trying to get someone from Merck to promote off-label use of a drug, a set-up


One of the trials being run right now is to get the pNET indication regardless of VHL.
So it yes, it would be off label at this time but Merck is definitely going for it. Somebody
likes it for this reason.
