DNA editing tool Crispr - can this be the one?

Postby radnyc » Mon Nov 11, 2019 8:16 pm

Let’s keep an eye on this trial, Crispr is in my opinion the best possibility for a cure at the moment. Only three patients have been recruited, very advanced cancers, seem to be stable. There’s still much to do.

DX Jan 2010, at age 47
Feb - colon resection - 2/17 nodes positive
April - liver mets - Stage 4
3 months Folfox chemotherapy
August '10 liver resection and HAI pump
7 months chemo FUDR HAI and Folfiri systemic
NED since August 2010
Last treatment April 2011
HAI Pump removed Dec 2015

Certainly looks promising! Really hope we’ll find a cure really soon :)

This seems similar to the NIH trial, yes? Similar approach to re-engineering cells to kill cancer cells?
54, female
1/8/19 DS Stage 4 with Liver Mets; Successful Colon Resect
2/18/19 Started Folfox -- CEA 70
5/8/19 - BRAF mutation -- switch to Triplet Therapy: Encorafenib, Binimetinib, Cetximab
6/13/19 - CEA dropped from 214 to 22
8/29 - CEA jump to 30-- scans reveal liver spread, though still confined. triplet therapy abandoned; some concern about PIC3 mutation interfering with BRAF treatment
9/1 - 10/4 -- no treatment
10/4 -- folfoxfiri to stem further progression; pump placement in January (hopefully)

The NIH trials appear to be engineered cells. This approach seems more trial and error.

The article is horrible on the science, even getting the name and usage wrong.
