Answer 1

There is a Phase III clinical trial to find out whether or not the combination of NOV-002 with chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) is better at improving overall survival time when compared to chemotherapy alone in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

It's not a cure for all cancer and the benefits for other cancers (Ovarian) remain to be investigated.
