The Currently Incurable Scientist: REPROGRAMMING A TUMOR FOR DEATH (RRx-001)

Postby DK37 » Tue Nov 17, 2015 9:12 pm

RRx-001 is an old topic here on Colon Talk (you guys always hear things faster than the broader world ;) but I wrote two columns about RRx-001 today, in a more cohesive and organized fashion than before.

The "Currently Incurable Scientist" Column discusses RRx-001's science & preliminary clinical data in succinct, layman's terms:
http://fightcolorectalcancer.org/resear ... for-death/

On my personal blog "Adventures in Living Terminally Optimistic" I wrote a companion blog post where I focus on the INCREDIBLE “story behind the story” – where an EARLY ON-SET CRC PATIENT was instrumental in DISCOVERING the drug! “RRX-001 AND THE IMPACT OF ONE CRC PATIENT-CHEMIST” I hope you find this amazing story interesting, fingers crossed it will have a good ending for all of us in the CRC world!

Very interesting! Fingers crossed!
Looks really promising:

Have you seen this, Tom? Worked in all patients from the small group who received RRx-001. The results were independent from the KRAS status.

Yes I have seen! I linked to it in my personal blog but not in the Fight CRC column. I made a personal rule to only use peer-reviewed data in the Fight CRC column (since more rigorous) but I am more flexible on my personal blog if I feel the source appears trustworthy :)
