My son needs this NOW!

Cost?????

I'm likely to get it and unlikely to be able to afford this

The article says 38k/month which seems competitive with hospitalization. It also says that it is expected that insurance will cover a lot of it.

In the US of A. In actual civilized countries it *will* be available to people.

Unless...

I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer in 2013. She died 8 weeks after being diagnosed. I know she’d have accepted any side effects to have had a few more precious weeks with her family. It’s a horrific cancer, with almost zero hope of any treatment being effective, so this breakthrough is encouraging

Why do you think insurance is so expensive?

Well done to those researchers. I really like it when research money results in treatment breakthroughs for the benefit of many rather than lining the pockets of the oligarchs.

How do you use them: Advanced metastatic or pretreated cancer, immediate start and most RAS mutations - Daraxonrasib! mRNA neoantigen - takes 4 to 10 weeks to identify unique neoantigens - as an adjuvant after other treatments -and it prevent recurrence - for low tumor volume (like early stages)

Pro-life evangelical Christians respond:

My dad died of pancreatic cancer four years ago now– words can't describe the pain he suffered & how incredibly difficult it was to watch him waste away The development of drugs like these that can extend & improve quality of life illustrate the necessity of appropriately funding medical research

Science.... is a beautiful thing.

Absolutely!

One of my exes’ Mom perished from pancreatic Ca. A truly awful, awful, AWFUL “way to go”. BSS LOVED food & wine & sailing the seas & tennis &… She was an OG ‘grammer for Burroughs, FFS!! I’m wrought w/ chills & HUGE gratitude for this research. No one “deserves” pancreatic death. Well, excluding…

And now the poor can die knowing there is a treatment they can't afford.

all my love to the researchers who worked on this :)

I wonder. Dolly gave a million for covid vaccine development. What if science was fully funded. And research didn’t receive tRump admin cuts. What other great breakthroughs could we be applauding??

Lost a friend to this a couple years back. When I heard he had pancreatic cancer my heart sank, because I knew the prognosis was going to be bad. This is amazing news.

Bravo!

I lost a dear friend 15 years ago to that horrible disease. Good to see this.

Good news for the maga crowd in that daraxonrasib’s autism rates are zero percent

And a middle-aged type 1 diabetic received a kidney and !!pancreas!! transplant, and appears to be doing well, and the medical community feel they have doubled his life expectancy. This is huge!!

S3.s.:z.:.s:s:says d

That doesn't make sense, since when does the FDA approve things that are good?

It’s wonderful! Will the drug be accessor affordable to all? I read the price is $40,000 a month? Or about $450,000 a year!

Same for my pops. 😢. This is great news.

… until oz and coke-man say otherwise ???

This is wonderful news for big pharma and very wealthy Americans.

yeah, it's still cruelly short, but it shows that there's a path toward improvement, a direction for further advances

👍👍🙌🙌

Three family members in the last 2.5 years have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 2 have already passed away, very painfully. This is amazing news!

💕💕💕💕💕💕

You’re right about the medical bills, and we have (crappy) insurance. I wonder if my husband could get this, but not holding my breath…

People should have insurance. Pre Covid subsidies are still there, many states have supplemented. OOPM will cap it (at thousands but not tens of). It’s not perfect but it’s better and I’m tired of the political damage done to ACA by those purportedly supporting provision of health care.

Those of us who understand this are happy!

Please don’t tell the present administration or the Republican Party. Saving lives is not their thing.

Love this for them. Big W for humanity.

How long until RFK Jr. messes this up somehow?!

It's unbelievable that we could have such a victory in these impossible times. I remain grateful to the scientists who persist in their work and wish peace of mind for those who will benefit from this modern miracle.

Does this work for all types of pancreatic cancer?

how soon before the kennedy shitbag claims it causes autism?

That awesome! Sure hope it’s a Christian breakthrough drug.

They bought chunks of stock I bet.

I have questions. 1) was this America? Because anything under you know who should be scrutinized. 2) was jfk jr involved with putting this out? If the answers are NO Then This is a great thing! This will prolong life, and hopefully quality time with loved ones. Peace on your journeys of life.

Lost mum to this vile disease last year... too late for her but here's hoping for others 🤞🤞❤️

Wish I could feel excitement and not just wonder if trump is getting his beak wet and that’s why it got approved.

As a survivor (PNET) I want to thank you. It takes a special kind of courage to try the new stuff in the midst of the fight. You are saving many lives and I hope also your own. To many years ahead!

My uncle was recently diagnosed. This is incredible news!

At $450,000 per year, and our fucked up system, few will benefit.

My father died from pancreatic cancer. Thrilled to see this.

Too late for my dear husband, but what a blessing for the future.

Big Pharma are very tricky with their sales lingo: "In a key clincial trail, patients who got the pill, lived twice as long..." 'a key' means only ONE of numerous trials conducted. 'lived twice as long as' the other group So if the other group died in 5 months, the Drug group died in 10 months.

My father died of stage 4 pancreatic cancer in 2024, almost a year to the date after his diagnosis. I hope this drug becomes widely available and works.

Amazing Do you have to sell your home to afford it?

Kudos to structural molecular biology!

Lost my cousin to pancreatic cancer. So hopeful that others won't lose their loved ones. Bravo to Medical and Science researchers!

Sure. $30,000 a month.

This is great. I wish there was an option for the research company to submit their receipts, get paid back by the gov't for all their research to get to this point and then they charge something reasonable for the pills themselves, instead of a half million dollars a year.

And just as the applause faded the found out worm-brain cut funding to prevent full commercialization...my bitter self assumes.

This pancreatic cancer breakthrough is great news. I wonder how long it will take for deadbeat Trump to take credit.

How long until trump bans it and deports the scientists and doctors who figured it out?

Science!!!

Lost my grandmother at 60 and my uncle at 75 to this horrible disease. Great news indeed.

It used to be just about the deadliest cancer there is. Not anymore. Wow.

When my mom was diagnosed 18 months ago, her oncologist said, “unfortunately, when it comes to pancreatic cancer, we don’t have much to be proud of yet.” But THIS is something to be proud of. I love science.

How long will you be pain free?

My wife had the car packed to visit her daughters in TN the morning she got the CT results at he NP’s and she put off going. I just wish she had gone. Chemo did nothing. She died 8-1/2 months after the diagnosis. Hopefully the new med will ease the progression and pain to give some time to enjoy.

Thinking of an acquaintance who died of this. We spent a lot of time together in her final days, as she got her affairs in order around all the pain. I think she would be very glad to know that there will be a day when people with pancreatic cancer won't have to go through what she did.

And they think insurance will pay for it. BAHAHA, they funny.

This news gave me goosebumps. An actual standing ovation?!

Will we contiue to make such discoveries as trump and Battacharya interfere with research?

This demonstrates the great importance of funding medical and scientific research!

Well, if I get pancreatic cancer I’m not taking anything until JFK Jr tells me it’s OK. Even though he’s not a doctor and he’s dumb as a turd on a fence, I don’t make a medical move for myself or my family without his advice. 🫠

That is awesome! Too bad most Americans who will need it, can't afford it. We're an epic fail.

What does it cost?

Too late for so many, but so glad to see breakthroughs continuing! This is why Federal researching funding is so important.

I recall crying tears of happiness when the 5-year survival results for Herceptin were shown at ASCO (New Orleans).

Good news, there has also been a big breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimers, altering neurological response in the brain, the drug has been very successful on mice with minimal dosage.

I remember when the drug was announced originally. A standing ovation from the medical community. Hopefully people will have access & not the insurance denial method of care.

We need to have more medical research like this, not less. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-...

A few months too late for my mother, but this is progress, and I love it.

Fantastic news

👏

That's amazing.

Science can do amazing things. Ignorance of science can only destroy.

It will be $50K a pill and will have to be taken monthly for life and insurance won't pay for it as it's experimental. Somehow the pharmaceutical company will make money by selling it to 20 people around the world each month.

Wonderful news. But I'll bet the cost is out of reach for most.

Exciting news. any further news on the custom mRNA cancer vaccine applications? I know one just cleared phase 3 trials but I can't remember what forms of cancer it was treating.

We just lost a very good friend to sudden pancreatic cancer. Developed since her last check up and blood tests 6 months ago. Went to stage 4 within that time. She passed 3 weeks after diagnosis.

So many great breakthroughs in med-science. Pray they are not squelched by this administration

PC took my mom and sister in their 50’s. I hope this is an affordable medication covered by insurance.

Hurray hurray for doctors science research humanity

Man I hope this continues to improve and aid the people unfortunate enough to meet this disease. My MiL died of pancreatic cancer in pretty short order. Total cluster fuck of a cancer.

Science!🧬

❤️🍾

I'm surprised that worm ridden addict hasn't tried to stop this!

This is huge!!! I’ve lost relatives to that deadly and swift disease. THIS IS SCIENCE. 🧪 🧫. BAN ALL MAGAS FROM THIS BENEFIT!

it’s so sad that a friend of mine just passed away two months ago from pancreatic cancer. This would’ve been nice for him.

And finding more sneaky ways to poison the foods.

Wait a few days and little Bobbie #Kennedy will call is poison and take it off the market.

Science has Always been your friend. Dictator Trump had Musk fire the scientist that helped make the world healthier. Trump, Musk and Kennedy need to kill off a few million so they can own land you won't be here to use. Three of the dumbest males in America. YEP there are others, Trump Cabinet.

Lost a few folks I knew to pancreatic cancer, an absolute death sentence, they were gone so tragically quick. This is stunning and welcome news.

It's a good step forward, but those I've known who've died from that cancer did so less than a year after diagnosis. And much of that time was in pain. So doubling that to maybe 2 painful years doesn't seem that much of a breakthrough. But hopefully they can build on this for a much better outcome.

I’m sure RFK Jr will go against it.

Scientists are rock stars!

These things should promoted and celebrated more! Fabulous work.

This is great. Now the real question is will it be affordable?

💕💕💕

Science is DEI, woke, communist, and fake

They want us dead

He’d cancel*

Still, doubling median survival from roughly 7 months to 13 is meaningful, not transformative for most patients. This is a second-line option for metastatic disease, not a cure. The next test is whether the drug reaches people at a price and speed that matches the science.
