Yes, I did post about this company. I want them to make a profit. But the current situation is detrimental to BRCA+ cancer patients.

My friend is in a Stanford study for a PARP inhibitor. We suspect the treatment is the difference between beating cancer and progression. However, it was iffy about her being in the trial. Due to the small population the treatment will not likely be profitable.

I don't know the particulars. I only know the current system of cancer research does not favor the patient. I see person after person who loses their life to cancer because a treatment in a clinical trial is not available to them. I see others who participate and still do not receive the new drugs. Their death is an acceptable loss to ensure the integrity of the data.

I'm in a clinical trial, I also could be an acceptable loss. However, I could be one of the lucky ones who is gaining quantity and quality of life.

I don't agree with the system. But we must participate by joining clinical trials. We must push for treatments that increase quality of life and quantity. To have the industry let go of treatments that would not longer serve in our best interest.
