Why isn’t Rigvir used in the US?

Some of the German cancer clinics also use RIgvir.

I believe you have to have a number of injections over a period of time.

The research is quite promising on it as well.

It is not used elsewhere for obvious reasons.

Unless you have billions of dollars you are locked out of the mainstream model.

Only big pharma has the bucks to do the necessary clincial trials to get through the FDA and approvals process.

There are possibly hundreds of potential cancer cures out there that will never see the light of day. And what works for one person wont necessarily work for another person as we are all different even if we have the same type of cancer.

I think we will move to individualised cancer treatments in the next 20 years or so but in the meantime for most people they are stuck with the standard treatments

The problem for the cancer sufferer is that there are a lot of charlatans out there that reckon they have cures for cancer but they really dont have any clinical research to back up their claims.

It is a real catch 22.

That's a good question!

Some have argued that because RigVir has not undergone the same level of testing that other cancer drugs have undergone that it can't possibly be any good. Clinical trials and testing for it were performed in Latvia. This is because it was under Soviet occupation at the time and were not able to test it on a wider population segment ("Red" tape, haha). Besides, it comes from a tiny country that no one's ever heard of so it can't possibly be any good. It's not manufactrued by a major pharmaceutical company so it can't possibly be any good.

Yes, enough with the sarcasm for now. But as far as approval in the US is concerned, I think it's a long way off. Artie would probably need to go out of country to get treatment.

We'd probably know more about RigVir if it weren't for a key thing that happened in Latvia in the early 90's – independence! Since the end of WWII they have been under Soviet occupation. With the collapse of the Soviet Union they lost funding and support and have needed time to regain their footing. It sounds like they were on the brink of something major when "independence happened".

I believe RigVir is something to keep an eye on. Other pharmaceutical companies are following suit and researching virotherapy so there has to be something to it. But the Latvians have been researching it since the 1960's. Not sure how long these other outfits have been researching it. But my gut instinct tells me that RigVir has a handle on it.

For those at Stage II and III it could be a viable option, if it were available. It does not have the side effects that interferon has. And it may even have an efficacy rate higher than 5%.
