Democrat backs flawed candidate over Trump threat

Experimental drug extends pancreatic cancer survival in trial
A clinical trial of daraxonrasib, developed by Revolution Medicines, found that patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer lived a median of 13.2 months on the drug, compared with 6.7 months for those receiving standard chemotherapy. The results apply to patients whose tumours carry a specific KRAS mutation. The drug has not yet received FDA approval, meaning broader access depends on the regulatory process moving forward.
"Those taking daraxonrasib lived for a median of 13.2 months compared with 6.7 months for chemotherapy recipients."
