President Trump Assists 'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams With Cancer Treatment Access

News summary

President Donald Trump has offered assistance to Scott Adams, the creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip, who is battling metastatic prostate cancer and seeking help to obtain treatment. Adams appealed to Trump on social media after his healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, approved him for the newly FDA-approved drug Pluvicto but delayed scheduling the necessary IV infusion. Trump responded promptly, signaling his willingness to intervene, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also affirming that the President wants to help. Kaiser Permanente stated that Adams' oncology team is actively working with him on the next steps, noting that over 150 patients in Northern California have been treated with Pluvicto since its approval. Pluvicto, produced by Novartis, has shown a 28% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in prostate cancer patients. Adams, a vocal Trump supporter, acknowledged that while the drug is not a cure, it offers a fighting chance to extend his life amid his aggressive cancer diagnosis.
