A new experimental drug blocks PRX3, a key antioxidant cancer cells use to survive stress, causing lethal buildup of damaging molecules inside tumors. In early trials, it halted disease progression in 67% of patients, shrank tumors, and extended survival—especially in critically ill patients. Remarkably, healthy cells remain unaffected, and mice without PRX3 genes live normally, proving the target’s safety. The drug, derived from a natural antibiotic, is now advancing to phase two trials, with hopes of becoming an oral pill to treat other cancers too.
