Cancer drug trials
Dear Department of Health,
I am requesting under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 information about the drug trials on Cancer patients.
The information I am looking for is what type of cancer patients will the drug be tested on; that being Lung, Breast or Skin Cancer patients. As well as the age group you will be using these drugs on; young, middle aged or aged care patients with cancer. I would also like the outcomes and the findings from the testings that were/have been conducted.
Lastly I would like to request how long the drugs will be or have been trialled for?
Yours faithfully,
Emma Grace
