The Cost of a Shot

Today i was told that if I am chosen for one of three trials I will be getting an injection called Avastin that costs (drum roll) 12,000 to 16,000 dollars a shot!!!!!!

The trial, natch, would pay for this shot. My question: what insurance company on the face of this earth would pay for something like that? My mind has been well and truly blown.
