A drug used for parasite infections is effective against prostate cancer. I wonder if any docs in the U.S. would be willing to experiment with this drug. It apparently has minimal side effects.

Kalland and his research-team at the University of Bergen (UiB) in Norway is in the first phase of this clinical trial
/clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02423928
as mentioned in the article. Unlikely that any doctors would do experiments.

Gemlin,

the trial you linked mentions ACT2001, Ipilimumab and Yervoy, but not NTZ (nitazoxanide). Do they have a separate trial for NTZ?

George, I believe they have studied the NTZ anticancer activity in a vitro tumor model with cultured cancer cells. But they say "strengthen our ongoing immune therapy against prostate cancer by using the mechanisms we discovered of the NTZ" so there is a connection. Sorry if I have mislead you.

I concur, "Unlikely that any doctors would do experiments." Out of respect for the originator of the post (or feeling guilty for copying?), I just repeated it verbatim.
