We'll catch you next time.
Hi, this is Ira Flato, and you're listening to Science Friday.
Pancreatic cancer is among the most deadly forms of cancer and can be difficult to catch early.
But there is some good news.
A new drug called Daraxanracib, which just finished its clinical trials, had some really promising results.
And while it's not a cure, some oncologists are calling it a game changer, not just for pancreatic cancer, but potentially for other forms of cancer too.
Dr. Zev Weinberg led a clinical trial for the drug and is the co-director of UCLA Health's GI Oncology Program.
He joins us from Los Angeles.
Welcome to Science Friday.
Thank you, Ira.
Happy to be here.
Nice to have you.
Okay, first tell us what this drug did.
Just how effective was it for patients with pancreatic cancer?
So in the oncology world, the world of cancer, just how big a deal is this drug?
What is it about this drug that might make it useful for treating other types of cancer?
Has it shown effectiveness in other types of cancers yet?
Right.
Let's talk about patients because we know, because of our audience, they're going to hear about this and want to know when they can get it.
So give us an idea of how soon patients might receive this new drug.
