Daily pill can double survival time for deadliest cancer, trial shows

I hope they can get this to people quickly. Someone I love has been diagnosed with stage 3 end of Feb this year and it's utter hell. For everyone, not just the patient.

While not fully approved, the company has early access available to people who meet the treatment criteria and would potentially benefit. Their HCP should evaluate this (it's not all types of pancreatic cancer, and it's not a silver bullet - but it looks like its double the survival time than current chemo). Hopefully this evolves into a new class of treatment.

Totally naive question: is this a situation where stacking the drug with chemo might be even better?
