Sorry for being "basic" about this: if the drug can be found on the pharmacy a few floors below, why not find a doc that would prescribe and have your father take it. Why bring the CEO into this? Go get the medicine and have your father take it, forget everything else.

I'm thinking that since this is one of the few times this drug has been used in a cancer treatment, that the doctors aren't going to do it until the company approves. Screwed up that corporate interests can dictate people's lives like that.

I agree with you that maybe going with the generic (natalizumab) in case of everything else failing is an option.

Mayo has a contract in place with Biogen as a result of the study they are performing that determines the extent of use. One angle that is being persued is suing the Mayo clinic for engaging in a contract like this which prevents them from providing the best care possible. Might be possible to get a ruling in one day. A judge could override all this hell.

I think that sounds like a good strategy. Again, best wishes.
