Yes very promising in pre-clinical (cell culture studies). But has not been used in any human with cancer at this stage. A hail-Mary rather than a holy-grail: Will be years until it can be developed and tested as an actual treatment. But journalists always need to spin.

The first article indicates that the drug has been in clinical trial since October, 2022. FOX News ran a segment on this drug last night. It looks very promising.

What are you talking about hasn’t been used in any human, it said it was in phase 1 clinical trials and the patient seems to b doing very well. Did you not read the whole article n please refrain from commenting unless your well informed… Thank you

Yes, I stand corrected. Phase 1 for up to 8 patients at COH is underway with estimated completion March 2024.

Yes I applied to be in the clinical trial last year, but not being in the west coast and their doctors not licensed to practice in my east coast state was not selected for the trial. I did speak with several doctors or reps of the trial over the phone. Let's hope it continues producing great results and a phase two clinical trial gets started. City of Hope has other trials where they partner with other cancer facilities on the east coast, I also spoken with such facilities so perhaps this could get expanded to hospitals sites all over the US so more of us could participate

In the works for 20 years. This team of scientists are the real deal and I have a feeling that this results in other companies to make the rush to bring it to market. This is a huge business opportunity for them and their joint efforts will have exponential impact.

Even in science it is so hard to obtain raw data. Just think how many drugs fail when going thru phases and trials and are touted by their companies to push their stock higher only to come crashing down on bad news. Regardless, let’s hope for the best as curing cancer with a pill is no easy task.
