## Resource

Why is the FDA putting obstacles in front of new innovations in cancer treatment? Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong got a warning letter from the FDA after his last appearance on the Sean Spicer Show. Today he joins me to respond to the FDA's warning letter. It was back in 2007 when the U.S. government declared that IL15 agonist had the potential to cure cancer. The NIH tried and failed to create an IL15 treatment but the half-life on the molecule was too short to have any effect. Well where the government failed, Dr. Soon-Shiong has succeeded. When our body has an infection, it fights back with an immune response. If the immune system is too weak, the body's response is ineffective and can lead to very serious health conditions. Dr. Soon-Shiong and his work at Immunity Bio has created an IL15 agonist that works within the immune system to activate NK and memory T cells. These are the "special forces" in the immune system that effective fight things like cancer. On today's show, Dr. Soon-Shiong shares the science and research that can change the paradigm on cancer treatment.
