Sulfasalazine, an arthritis treatment drug, has proven to work against pancreatic cancer in the lab., a phase 1 trial is not necessary, because it is already proven itself to be safe. It is going straight into a phase 2 trial, and because it is off patent, and listed on the PBS, it will only cost in the vicinity of $ 50 for treatment. It's a win win, and Associate Professor Phoebe Phillips from the University of NSW, says she has never before been so hopeful and optimistic in her career researching the disease.
