Researchers' biggest challenge: no industry support
Still, he said, if DCA is shown in further studies to be effective, the fact that it is already being used to treat mitochondrial diseases would make it easier for it to be approved for a new use.
Michelakis notes that all of the studies they've undertaken thus far on DCA have come with the support of the University of Alberta and public donations. That's in part because DCA is a commonly available compound that is not patented or owned by any drug firm. Pharmaceutical companies have not been interested in funding further research on DCA since the treatment won't make them a profit.
"That was the biggest challenge in the beginning: no industry support, no clinical applications," Michelakis said.
"We showed that, yes, you can take a generic drug, and if you have the right support, from the university and from the health authority and you have the generous support of donors and funding agencies, you can make it happen," he said.
He also notes that similar studies will soon start on the use of DCA for treating breast cancer, and could be extended to other cancers, too.
The University of Alberta continues to solicit funds to advance the research on DCA. Anyone who would like to donate to the university's DCA Cancer Research Fund can do so online, or by contacting the university's Faculty of Medicine.
