Where you are
Refractory or multiply relapsed
When standard treatments have been exhausted, the options to ask about include cellular therapies, newer agents, and access pathways for drugs outside a trial. A virtual tumor board can also bring more specialists to a complex case. Here's where to start.
Trials to discuss with your care team
A starting set for this stage, pulled live from ClinicalTrials.gov. Whether any fits is a conversation for your care team.

Help getting a drug that isn't in a trial
FDA Project Facilitate
Your oncologist calls them for step-by-step help requesting an investigational drug outside a trial (this is called “expanded access”). Most single-patient requests are approved.

Questions to bring to your care team
- If we've run out of standard options, would expanded access (compassionate use) be worth pursuing? Have you used FDA Project Facilitate?
- Would our case be a good candidate for a virtual tumor board review?
- Are there cellular-therapy or early-phase trials you'd consider, even if we'd have to travel?
Save trials as you browse — they'll appear on your appointment prep sheet with these questions, ready to print.
