The Issue

My partner’s 78 year old grandmother, Leida has COVID-19 and is on a ventilator at New York Presbyterian Hospital.  Death is imminent. We like hundreds of thousands of others want every chance to fight for her life. When we almost lost my 70 year old father to COVID last year, he was given the medication leronlimab under compassionate use eIND.   It saved his life. The drug manufacturer agreed to give leronlimab to grandma IF her doctor will complete the paperwork. This medication is FDA approved under compassionate use. Her attending, Dr. Gregg Rosner originally agreed, but backtracked when he realized the paperwork involved.  He said one patient is not worth his time and New York Presbyterian supports him, although it would also open the pathway for patients that follow. Please join us in asking Dr. Rosner and New York Presbyterian Hospital associated with Columbia University to show compassion and give Leida the chance to live by supporting our application for Leronlimab.
