Not to get too overly optimistic: the drug is in the earliest phase of FDA clinical trials. So far, researchers are excited and hopeful because they've cranked up the dosage more than they ever thought possible, and still have not seen side-effects in patients. Twenty-six patients with various types of late-stage "solid tumor" cancer have participated in the trial and researchers will soon add 18 more. After that they hope to move on to the second phase of trials (FDA clinical trials usually include three phases: the first for safety, the second for safety and efficacy, and the final one to confirm safety and efficacy.)
