Vicky Phelan has started a new clinical trial in the US. Vicky Phelan has started a new “wonder drug” as part of a clinical trial in Maryland in the US. Taking to social media today, the cervical cancer campaigner said the new drug, called M7824, is “Pembro 2.0”- the drug that she was previously taking in Ireland. Ms Phelan gives credit to Pembro for allowing her to “really live (her) life and make memories", however the drug has stopped working for her and thus she decided to join this new trial. Appearing by video call on ‘The Late Late Show’, Ms Phelan said saying goodbye to her young children, Amelia and Darragh, was heartbreaking.
