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.
