Anyone know anything about this drug? Seems pretty revolutionary.

I'm not going to register just to read the article so I'll just assume it's similar to every other lay press article about science and medicine and say that the drug is certainly promising but the Phase 3 studies to prove it's actual benefit are ongoing (I have 5 patients of mine on one of the studies). And since this is being done in hormone receptor positive breast cancer, it will be 5 to 15 years until we have actual survival data.

TL;DR: looks good. But so have lots of other drugs that didn't ultimately pan out.

If you go back and look how many treatments looked promising and revolutionary in early phase trials and then turned out to be a flop in larger trials you'd be shocked.... so is it interesting? yes maybe. but just about that for now
