Zelenirstat, a cancer-fighting pill made in Alberta, may have the power to save lives — but millions more in clinical trial funding and donations are needed to make it a reality.

Some very uplifting news amidst all this chaos.

    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.
