Cancer trial law SB37 spurs limited out of state trial access
California's SB 37, signed by Governor Gray Davis in 2000, aimed to remove financial barriers for cancer patients in clinical trials. It requires insurers to cover routine costs when trials are not offered locally, but many trials remain out of state with travel and treatment costs. The case of Evanthia Pappas highlights insurer reluctance and out of state funding gaps, while advocates cite progress in participation yet note persistent limits for rare cancers and multi state trials.
