metformin is a pill given for adult onset diabetes
from the article it looks as if it might be synergistic with herceptin and perhaps also with mTor inhibitors (several are in clinical trials at the moment)
It is great when an already approved drug with known safety/side effects is found to be helpful as it speeds up the process of combining it with other agents in trials.
Working out how her2, diabetes and aging are all tied in together will keep a lot of researchers busy for quite a while!
