Has anyone been denied clinical trials due to insurance coverage?

7 days agoI will be starting my 4 th month of Temodar of the 6 month cycle at the end of week. I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma IDH wild type and MGMT unmethylated. My tumor was removed on November 20, 2025. Unfortunately I have Medi-Cal which is Community Health Care as my Heath Insurance and they won’t cover clinical trials unless I have a recurrence. Has anyone been in this situation where they can’t get a clinical trial due to their insurance. I want to report that so far my MRI’s are looking good.

7 days agoInsurance barriers for clinical trials can be incredibly frustrating, and this situation with Medi-Cal requiring a recurrence before covering trials is unfortunately something other community members have faced. It's wonderful to hear that your MRIs are showing good results, and hopefully other members can share their experiences navigating similar insurance challenges or suggest resources that might help explore alternative options for accessing trials.
