I liked this bit from the RNS, 401 was treated in Georgia on patients that had Stage IV NSCLC, very late stage, always wondered what would happen if 401 was used at a much earlier / beginning stage once diagnosed (pretty big news IMO) and the advisory board seem to agree!! :)
''The meeting was organised and executed by the independent communications company, Hayward Medical, who provided a report detailing the ideas and enthusiasm the participants showed for the development of VAL401 to date. In particular the need for a treatment that can be used to alleviate symptoms even in end-stage patients was highlighted and that the co-prescription of a drug to provide supportive benefits in addition to anti-cancer benefits would be valuable from the beginning of the patient journey, alongside currently used approaches.
The participants' individual comments included that they would be confident taking VAL401 immediately on cancer diagnosis, alongside standard of care treatment; that every month of additional life secured is priceless, particularly with maintained quality, and in fact that, terminal patients often prefer to retain their Quality of Life than to risk further disruptive treatment''
