Here is a quote from Heineman (ONC/Y Chief Medical Officer) "We were particularly excited to see a partial response deepen into a confirmed complete response as of the latest data cut, since this further indicates potentially durable anti-cancer effects from the combination therapy."
Might there be more partial responses deepening into complete responses and might the two stable disease patients deepen into partial responses?
This is a new paradigm for pancreatic cancer. No more chemos alone with limited benefit and then relapse. Now pela is allowing the engagement of the patient's own immune system. This opens the possibility of the continuous activity of the immune system against the cancer. As we see for some the result is a complete response (aka "cure").
