I'd like to sign up my friend who has about 3 years left for some clinical trials.

    Please don't spread false hope or impossible suggestions. This molecule is still investigatory and proprietary, so there's no documentation on its structure for replication by anyone outside of original authors. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely any researcher would jeopardize their reputation and livelihood by randomly manufacturing experimental, unproven compounds for clinical use.

      For better or for worse, there are services available internationally which will manufacture experimental, unproven, compounds for unspecified uses. Additionally, proprietary investigational compounds typically have their structure published in patents. It's still a terribly bad idea to use experimental compounds no matter how bad when they haven't even finished safety trials - you wouldn't even be able to figure out what dosage is going to be effective without killing you. It's very easy to do far more harm than good. And typically past Phase 1 trials when this is characterized, compassionate use becomes a possibility.

        Whether or not it's a "terrible idea" depends purely on the alternative.

      I'm not spreading false hope. This is a choice that can only be made by an individual person. If your life were on the line, you would probably start looking at anything that had even a small chance of helping, including new and unproven therapies. Your attitude would change significantly. And it's a small molecule so it wouldn't be terribly difficult to have someone in China make you a batch. I've purchased obscure pharms from labs in China and haven't been scammed yet
