Devil’s Apple Drug Shows Signs Of Success In Mesothelioma Trials

A new drug, known as SBP002, has been tested on mesothelioma patients in Perth, Australia, and the feedback so far has proven very promising.

The drug, which is a derivative of a weed called Devil’s Apple, was administered to thirteen sufferers over a one-week period. The subjects are reported to have been so impressed, that they wanted to continue taking the drug after the trial period had ended.

The subjects on whom SBP002 was tested had all been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but tests showed that the drug caused tumors to start shrinking. This was a surprise to both experts and patients, since the trials had only been arranged to monitor dosage levels rather than the effect of the drug.

Greg Barrington is a representative of the SBP002 manufacturer, Solbec. He stated:

"The trial didn't actually set out to find out how well the product worked, it was just trying to find the right dose to use. Right near the beginning of the trial, where the doses were low, we got some positive results. It was the last thing we expected but the first thing we wanted, obviously."

With regards to the test subjects’ enthusiasm to keep taking the drug even thought the trial had ended, Mr Barrington stated:

"To get involved in a trial like that you have cancer that's not responded to anything else, and the doctors have said `perhaps you should enjoy your last few months'. So if they get a response as these people have, then clearly they say `can we have more of that', so they've carried on."

It is anticipated that a more comprehensive trials on SBP002 will commence a part of a Phase II trial in Australia or the Unites States next year.

This time the drug will be tested on around forty subjects.
