Progression Of ETS2101 In Brain Cancer

By Robert Sutter


When trials are done in the name of brain cancer, it's clear that some will be noticed more than others. Very rarely have I ever tuned into a story of this nature to learn that the process is only going to take a day's time. This is a process that calls for attention to detail, so how much detail can be picked up on in such a limited amount of time, you may wonder? It's good to see that certain procedures are set in place, which is the case for the ETS2101 trial.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the ETS2101 trial is one which includes a number of patients, each of them possessing a form of primary or secondary brain cancer. It was done in order to see the effect of ETS2101 and whether or not it is going to be for the best in the long term. As you can imagine, every patient was given a certain dosage so that it can be examined how their bodies take to it. It's been said that this study will continue on through 2014 and I think that organizations such as Voices against Brain Cancer should make note of it.

For those who are unfamiliar with ETS2101, it should be noted that this field is not the only one it's been utilized in. The article said that, in the past, it has been used in order to help patients with cases of trauma. However, with pharmacology set in place, it's been learned that it can help patients with cancer as well. With two ongoing studies being seen - one with patients with primary cancer and the other with patients impacted by secondary cancer - a great deal of dedication has been seen.

With this procedure being done, the report spoke about how patients were given heavier doses of the drug with time before tolerated level has been arrived at. In addition, fifteen patients have successfully completed the study, each of them receiving the right amounts of ETS2101 in relation to their body weight. With their tumors not responding objectively to the drug, there has been success on the matter. One can only imagine just how much stronger the results can prove to be in the long run.

These studies require time in order for them to be truly effective, as just about anyone will be able to agree with. In my mind, brain cancer stands as one of the most serious conditions and, as a result, deserves all of the attention that it can get. This has been the case for the ETS2101 trial and it's good to see that it will continue on through 2014. During that time, I can only hope that even greater results will be seen, which can then parlay into the future.
