Thank you for your comment. Congratulations on your positive response and recovery. Our goal is to enable the same response in others who may experience side effects and may have to forgo treatment because of it. Doxorubicin, also nicknamed red devil or red death, is notorious for its side effects. In addition to the bone marrow toxicity common to most chemotherapies, a person cannot receive more than 6 doses of doxorubicin in their lifetime without increasing their risk of heart failure. So when patients respond to doxorubicin, but more doses are needed, the patient and the doctors face a difficult choice: risk of death from the cancer or risk of cardiac failure. Shasqi is trying to change that equation for solid tumors. We are not focused on lymphomas yet. |
