Back in April, Dr. Chaplin made a prediction about a pancreatic cancer drug on this channel. On the 26th of August, it came true — and faster than even he expected.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The one detail on the label that reaches far more patients than earlier drugs like it
A piece of online misinformation about this approval — and where it goes too far
Why it cleared the FDA six and a half months early, and what that says about the data
What happens now for patients who were getting it through expanded access
Three questions worth bringing to your next oncology appointment
If pancreatic cancer touches your life — or you're watching this space because of how RAS-driven cancers behave more broadly — this is the episode to watch first.
