Frequently Asked Questions

What deleterious effects may arise from the utilization of Devimistat, 5-FU, and HCQ (COHORT 1)?

"Due to the fact it is a Phase 2 trial, with some preliminary safety data but none in regards to efficacy, our team at Power have rated the security of COHORT 1 (Devimistat, 5-FU, HCQ) as an intermediate level 2." - Anonymous Online Contributor
