ETS2101 & Its Value To 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.

For those who do not know what the ETS2101 trial is, it entails a series of patients who have both primary and secondary brain cancer. According to an article on the Wall Street Journal, this procedure has been put into place for the sake of witnessing whether ETS2101 is safe for helping this condition or not. A certain dose has been applied and results have been surveyed to see if said dose is safe in addition to beneficial. The trial will continue on through 2014, which is something that organizations like Voices against Brain Cancer should make note of.

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.

It's easy to understand why these particular studies are done over the course of time, whether it is a matter of a few months or even a few years. Brain cancer is one of the most serious conditions and, as a result, a tremendous amount of focus is brought to the idea of treatment in the long run. Hopefully there is more work done with the ETS2101 drug set in place. In my opinion, there is a world of knowledge to pick up on here.
