So the story goes, no pharm co will ever produce an actual cure for cancer… Do we have a black sheep about to disrupt this age old adage??? Would love if any of our pharmacy pros in the server had any thoughts on this…
Every patient in this experimental drug trial saw their cancer disappear, researchers say
“They were given six months of treatment with an immunotherapy drug called dostarlimab, from the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, which helped fund the research. The cancer vanished in every single one of them — undetectable by physical exam, endoscopy, PET scans or MRI scans, the researchers said.”
This seems like an op to buy in low, but these drugs tend to take years to roll out to the public. I’d imagine there is going to be a more rigorous trial next after passing this one with flying colors (and then more after that I presume).
