In July 2002, The FDA and Eli Lilly Company announced that Alimta (pemetrexed) would be available to patients with malignant mesothelioma. The drug, is not yet fully FDA approved, but is available to "qualified patients who have been diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma and have not yet received treatment." The FDA allows Alimta to be used under "Expanded Access Program," that allows new treatments available to patients with diseases like mesothelioma where treatment options are limited. Under the program, patients with mesothelioma can get Alimta during the FDA review process.
