A supportive-care ARPA would be a well-funded, milestone-driven agency that develops drugs for nausea, nerve damage, mouth sores, fatigue and brain fog from cancer treatment, which the market has largely ignored.
Supportive-care drug development has stalled: the last major antiemetic class (NK1 antagonists) is over twenty years old, there is no approved preventive for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and fatigue and cognitive impairment have no pharmacological standard. The proposal is a dedicated programme (public or philanthropic, ARPA-H style) funding target discovery, repurposing screens and pragmatic trials of supportive-care agents, with pull incentives (advance purchase, priority review vouchers) for approvals.
