The King's Health and Avacta21 Feb 2024 13:51
News regarding the King's cancer battle is very controlled, as is the ongoing and extended news blackout of Avacta's progress as a company, together with the present moribund Avacta share price, and I wonder if there is any connection between the two.
Would it be feasible that AVA3996 was being used to treat the King?
Indicated for Myeloma, AVA 3996 is a better treatment option that Takeda's Velcade
( Bortezomib) with its precise targeting and minimal side effects for Peripheral Neuropathy in particular. Perhaps the cognoscenti of the Oncology world are agreed that AVA 3996 at present represents the current best hope for defeating the disease.
Myeloma is "a form of cancer" which was how the King's condition was described on diagnosis, and such a diagnosis would usually be picked up via the blood sample analyses which invariably accompany any cancer diagnosis prior to treatment.
Perhaps where the King is concerned, the usual de rigueur treatment protocols ie using only approved drugs, may be circumvented so as to go with the latest and best in class clinical advice and everything is then fast tracked.
Gyles Brandreth a friend of the late Queen, tells us that he has been informed that she suffered from Myeloma in her last years. Myeloma is familial.
Hopefully, whatever treatment he is receiving will be entirely successful.
