Another post about this same thing was flagged yesterday. There are zero sources cited in this fluff piece, and there are no major developments released yet in the Phase I trial that is currently underway. In other words, this is just like all of the other failed "cancer pill/cure" articles you've read over the past 4 decades. Just stop posting about it until the trial results are available and we have actual evidence that it helps real patients (or, more likely, not).

I think that as a rule of thumb we should flag this kind of articles to try to avoid making the front page.

FWIW, Derek Lowe writes about this (and seems excited to see the results of the upcoming trial): https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/new-mode-cancer-tr...
