Our drug is chemically identical to another drug - we just made it ~100,000 times more potent by making it radioactive. This chemical has been used in clinics for 30 years, so there is technically a massive amount of clinical data on it. We are planning studies to see how the greater potency impacts its effect on the body and these tumors.

Hi Eric! I sent you a DM inviting you to participate in a short interview for the /live-the-same channel. The goal is to learn more about you and connect with more people in the community. I'd love to hear from you!

Won’t that reduce the therapeutic index? Because, a more radioactive drug is definitely going to have higher radiation related side effects and drawbacks.

Hi Eric, making it more radioactive makes it more readable on scan and that’s good for studying. At the same time, what mechanisms do you have in place to ensure the safety of this stuff because if I was listening in pharma class, radioactive stuff like this can start destroying normal cells after they completely wipe or the cancerous cells.

yes, I’m curious—for all who would benefit. including a dear friend who was just given a terminal diagnosis (within the next few years). so… no timeline right?
