We have started a petition and are desperately seeking MORE signatures!

Our petition is to help breast cancer patients get access to the medication Bazedoxifene (BZA) in the USA. This drug is used for the treatment of osteoporosis in Europe, and according to Duke University Medical Center Cancer Institute's study, has been shown to stop the growth of breast cancer cells. This is a major breakthrough for breast cancer patients. This drug currently is NOT registered in the USA for patient access.

We are asking Pfizer to move forward to assess the efficacy of Bazedoxifene (BZA) in treating breast cancers resistant to current therapies targeting estrogen receptor activity, with a goal of making the drug Bazedoxifene available as quickly as possible.
