Looks promising. Making the news, in part, for fund raising.

One patient with a life expectancy of just a few months survived for 18 months on the pill.

Anyone have clarity on this? Seems the pill is helpful, but not a knockout?

That would be because initial trials often only allow terminal patients to be involved ... for obvious reasons.

A 16 month extention to their life is pretty amazing.
