Fund full clinical trials naltrexone to treat cancer

Closed 1,689 signatures

What the petition asks

Some studies have shown naltrexone may inhibit cancer. There have never been full clinical trials to investigate this. I would like the government to fund full trials in order to get this drug licensed.
I have stage 4 liver cancer and have been told I don't have more than 2 or 3 years to live. I believe this could give me a longer life if it proves effective.
