Israeli team cures cancer?
- eesmith 8y ago"“We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer,” ... It sounds fantastical" Especially if there isn't a registered clinical trial for it. For example, I found nothing for the company name, at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=&term=Accelerated+Evolution+Biotechnologies&cntry=&state=&city=&dist= https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=&term=Accelerate... Nor for "MuTaTo" nor "SoAP technology". Now, that's not the only place to register trials, but I doubt that Israel will allow treatments with at best minimal drug trials so, where's the evidence of demonstrated effectiveness in vitro or in model organisms?
- imperio59 8y agoThe article says it was successful in mice, so still some ways to go but sounds promising?
- eesmith 8y agoThe article says the company says it was successful in mice. Is there a publication? I didn't find one in PubMed, though I didn't look all that hard. We know that people - including those at biotech research companies - carry out misleading, underpowered, and even faulty experiments.
- kiddz 8y agoWow. Would have thought that reporters would have done the lookup that you did. And explained their absent record. Several other outlets are running with the story too.
