Why not?
If there are so very few patients, a lab could easily produce enough for them.
- ineedasername 8y agoYeah, they had to make some quantity to run their trials. presumably it cost much less than $1mil/dose or they'd not have research funding at their level
- mirimir 8y agoIndeed. A lot less than $1million per dose, I bet. I understand that there are regulatory issues. But it seems pretty clear that the standard pharma industry model doesn't work for drugs like this.
