00:00 A remarkable breakthrough in cancer research has given hope to millions as scientists at
00:05 the City of Hope, a leading cancer research and treatment institute in the US, unveil
00:10 a game-changing cancer-killing molecule.
00:13 This newly discovered cancer-killing pill kills solid tumors through targeted chemotherapy.
00:19 The revolutionary pill targets and annihilates all solid cancer tumors while leaving healthy
00:24 cells unharmed, making it a potential holy grail in cancer therapy.
00:29 The drug in question, dubbed AOH-1996, works by targeting a specific cancerous protein
00:35 variant called a proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
00:39 So, how does AOH-1996 help treat cancer?
00:45 The drug in question, dubbed AOH-1996, works by targeting a specific cancerous protein
00:50 variant called a proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
00:54 This protein is vital in DNA being able to replicate and therefore tumors being able
00:59 to spread.
01:00 This is where AOH-1996 differs from other targeted cancer treatments.
01:04 Most others tend to focus just on a single pathway.
01:07 However, that method can result in the cancer mutating and becoming more resistant to treatment.
01:13 Data suggests PCNA is uniquely altered in cancer cells and this fact allowed the researchers
01:18 to design a drug that targeted only the form of PCNA in cancer cells.
01:23 Researchers say that cancer-killing pill is like a snowstorm that closes a key airline
01:27 hub shutting down all flights in and out only in planes carrying cancer cells.
01:32 The mutated form of PCNA has long been deemed challenging to target for therapy.
01:37 But the researchers have achieved the unimaginable, developing the molecule AOH-1996 which effectively
01:44 targets and kills the mutated PCNA, shutting down cancer cells.
01:49 This groundbreaking therapy is the culmination of two decades of dedicated research and development.
01:54 Named after Anna Olivia Healy, a young girl born in 1996 who tragically lost a battle
01:59 with cancer, AOH-1996 is a testament to the perseverance of scientists in their quest
02:05 to find a breakthrough treatment for this relentless disease.
02:07 In tests, AOH-1996 was found to be useful in treating breast, prostate, brain, ovarian,
02:13 cervical, skin, and lung cancers.
02:16 It selectively kills cells by disrupting how those cells reproduce.
02:20 This process is known as apoptosis and it prevents cells with damaged DNA from spreading
02:25 throughout the body.
02:27 More clinical trials are slated to help test this drug for future use.
02:31 City of Hope's mission is to deliver the cures of tomorrow to the people who need them
02:34 today.
02:35 Founded in 1913, City of Hope has grown into one of the largest cancer research and treatment
02:39 organizations in the US and one of the leading research centers for diabetes and other life-threatening
02:44 illnesses.
02:45 City of Hope research has been the basis for numerous cancer breakthrough medicines,
02:49 as well as human synthetic insulin and monoclonal antibodies.
02:53 With an independent National Cancer Institute designated Comprehensive Cancer Care at its
02:57 core, City of Hope brings a uniquely integrated model to patients, spanning cancer care, research
03:02 and development, academics and training, and innovation initiatives.
