A new drug for pancreatic cancer is showing promise in early testing. Daraxonrasib is a daily pill designed to block cancer signals linked to the RAS gene. It has now finished an early-stage clinical trial — the first time it was tested in people — to evaluate both its safety and effectiveness. The clinical trial, led by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, tested the drug in 168 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer whose tumors had mutations in the RAS gene. All study participants had previously received at least one chemotherapy treatment.

New!
This is terrible news. We should either ban it or make it obscenely expensive a d insurance won’t cover it. Allow it everywhere else but not the US unless you’re somebody.
This is why many possible treatments fail. Their immune system is already ruined by chemo.
Agreed

I’ve been looking at this, since I was told about it at Hopkins. (Diagnpsed with PC Stage 4 LAST August).
The FDA expanded the use and access of the drug on May 5th. Problem is the PC type i have grows resistant to the drug over time. This is why it is held back until really needef (growing PC again.)
You are in my thoughts and prayers, Sauropod.
Have you tried the ivermectin combo?
I always wondered what is the trigger to develop pancreatic cancer. I am guessing alcohol & smoking as contributing factors. My family elders did neither of those, and no one got cancer. Both grand fathers lived into late 90’s, both died in sleep of old age. Father ate too many sweets made with Crisco type stuff and died of coronary disease in his 70’s. I am now 86 and live very healthy lifestyle. Hoping to make it to 100 without being in a wheelchair.
Doing IVM and FBZ. I have a protocol.
Not sure. Smoking, alcohol, genetic predispositions, all factor in. Things that can cause chronic inflammation in the pancreas.
