A new study has found that a pill called Daraxonrasib

is helping people with advanced pancreatic cancer

live longer.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles,

say the drug blocks a mutated protein that 

fuels tumor growth in more than 90 percent

of pancreatic cancer cases.

Dr. Zev Wainberg, who led the study,

says the daily pills nearly double survival time:

a median of 13.2 months

and with fewer side effects

compared to additional chemotherapy.

The findings are in the New England Journal of Medicine

and were presented Sunday at the American Society 

for Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago.
