Has anyone tried sotorasib for lung cancer

Has anyone tried sotorasib in Swansea 

  • Hello LJ2024 and thanks for your post,

    I believe that you are referring to Sotorasib which you can read more on these Manchester Trials Research Facility. It is for a type of lung cancer that targets lung cancer that carries a KRAS G12c Mutation (change in cells). 

    It appears that this drug is not available in Wales. We have some information about how drugs are funded when they are not available through NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence)

    I would discuss this with your oncologist to get their opinion and also whether it would be possible to access it without NICE approval. 

    You have posted in 'Ask the nurses but if you post on another thread or start your own you may find that you get more responses.

    Do give us a ring if you want to talk things through.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best,

    Catherine
