For PFIZER to make PALBOCICLIB drug available for 6 year old with soft tissue cancer who has exhausted all other treatment options
Final supporters
Eva is 6 ½ years old. She has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma (soft tissue cancer) since she was 4 years old. She has endured numerous treatments and amputation of her left arm and shoulder. Despite everything she continues to go to school regularly, plays hockey for a champion team, and does almost everything a child her age should be doing. However, despite coping extremely well with every treatment and procedure thrown her way, some tumours have disappeared and somecontinue to grow. A recent genetic profiling report indicated she has loss of the CDKN2A/B gene. This report indicates that tumours that show loss of the CDKN2A/B gene are sensitive to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Eva has exhausted all treatment options within the realm of paediatric cancer world. A CDK4/6 inhibitor called PALBOCICLIB produced by PFIZER is currently in extensive adult trials as this is a billion dollar drug. There are no trials for its use in children. Pfizer have refused Eva’s oncologist’s request for this drug. With no treatment Eva will die.
Eva’s family are hoping that PFIZER will reconsider making PALBOCICLIB available as it appears their only hope at this point. Eva needs a miracle!

Eva is only six, with an amazing spirit, and deserves to live. She may have a chance with Palbociclib, based on her genetic profiling. Please do the right thing and grant access to Palbociclib to Eva's oncologist for her treatment.
The reality is that when all other options have been exhausted there is very little risk associated with the result. Offer a waiver of liability, have the parents be informed that it is a trial and of the risks.
Without knowing the full story it's hard to know why the drug is being withheld. However it would be ideal if the decision to use the drug lay with the parents and treating medical specialists rather than a pharmaceutical giant.
I hope this little angel is given what she needs! Have met her through Ronald McDonald house when my cousin same age was fighting and was a beautiful little girl who never fails to smile! Good luck sweetheart!!
Pfizer, every child deserves every opportunity for life please give Eva this chance at life. imagine if she was your child - you too would move heaven and earth to give your daughter a chance to live!

Eva has nothing to lose and everything to gain by receiving this drug. If the treatment proves to be successful with few side effects, it can be used to save the lives of other people with similar issues.
