COMMENTARY You can thank Republicans for your right to try clinical trials ASHINGTON — Imagine the horror of learning you have a terminal illness for which science has not yet come up with Wa treatment. Now imagine receiving the same diagnosis and then learning a promising new treatment exists that could save your life — but you can’t get access to it thanks to governmental obsta- cles. That is the nightmare that befell Andrea Sloan, an Austin lobbyist who gave up her job at a high-priced law firm to advocate for victims of domestic violence. In 2007, Sloan was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and for more than six years tried every Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for her dis- ease. All failed. With Sloan’s health rapidly deterio- rating, her doctor at MD Anderson Cancer Center told her she had one last hope: a new drug that in- hibits DNA repair in cancer cells, which had shown great promise in clinical trials with patients that had her specific genetic mutation. COMMENTARY But Sloan did not qualify for a clinical trial. And while the drug had passed safety trials, it was not yet approved by the FDA. She would have to seek “compassionate use.” Don’t let SCANA kill our After months of lobbying (and being turned down by one manufac- turer), she finally convinced anoth- Marc Thiessen er to grant her access.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL Lakewood transfer signs Opening day to play football at Chowan

BY TREVOR BAUKNIGHT [email protected] Lakewood High School run- ning back Desmond Wilson proved that earning a college scholarship is about more than a stat sheet, earning an aca- demic scholarship and signing to play football at Chowan Uni- versity in Murfreesboro, North Carolina, during a ceremony with coaches, team- mates and family at Lakewood on Wednesday. Wilson, who WILSON transferred from Sumter High to Lakewood ahead of his senior season, said he didn't see a lot of playing time at Sumter and didn't put up big numbers for the Gators; but the soft-spoken student-athlete caught the eye of Chowan recruiters on film, and with his academic situa- tion in order, is ready to make the move to the next level. "First and foremost, he's just a great young man. Football is secondary to that," said Lake- wood head coach Larry Corne- lius. "Obviously his parents have done it right with Des- mond.
