Question 14383 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Jean-Pierre Door draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the decision authorizing a new immunotherapy protocol for cases of metastatic melanoma. This is a treatment validated in August 2018, after a period of testing on numerous patients suffering from this form of cancer. The treatment, based on work in immunotherapy relating to checkpoint inhibitors which has just been rewarded with the 2018 Nobel Prize in Medicine, gave very encouraging results. However, currently doctors cannot apply this immunotherapy protocol in the absence of official publication of the decision authorizing them to implement it. Given the urgency of such treatment for patients suffering from metastatic melanoma and its challenge in terms of prevention, he asks under what deadline should be made official the decision authorizing the prescription of the new immunotherapy protocol in cases of metastatic melanoma.
