Lu-177 trials USA

[Ldb01]

Does one have to be a US Citizen to qualify for any of the LU-177 trials in the US ? We are South African and the treatment is not available here.

Prof Sathekge offers Lu-177 treatment in Pretoria:

As far as I know he offers it outside clinical trials.

Thank you GP 24 and Nalakrats. I have heard of him, I am definitely going to contact them in the morning.

i don't think they even ask about citizenship. but you may have a better opportunity in South Africa:

See gp24 and tall_allen’s replies. Some trials limit to usa residents but I don’t know of any that have limited by citizenship. Some USA based trials ask for the us social security number or if you are on Medicare but I doubt those would be excluding criteria. Easiest thing to do is look up the trial on either Malecare.org or clinicaltrials.gov and telephone or Skype your question

If Pretoria is a no-goer, you could look into the places in Australia that offer it - in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney ... maybe others. It’s not cheap though. Good luck.

Thanks everyone, Australia is very expensive with our weak exchane rate. Am going to check Pretoria today

Clinicaltrials.gov is the website for Lu-177 and others. The UCLA people are evaluating my eligibility now and they never asked about my citizenship. Pretoria is definitely closer to you than Los Angeles! Best of luck - please let us know what happens.
