Is cyclopamine a cure for some cancers?

Question:

Cyclopamine is a sonic hedgehog blocker that attaches to the smoothened gene. It is in preclinical trials at Johns Hopkins. Nonetheless, I obtained some for a cancer patient, and his protein marker decreased from 0.9 to 0.2 Additionally, cyclopamine does attack cancer stem cells, so if cancer stem cells are the true cause of some cancers, then attacking them is a better and potentially curative approach for some cancers. Any cancer researchers out there?

Answers:
It's way too soon to use the word 'cure' . . something that looks astonishing in the lab using mice often can not be translated back into helping human beings. We have been fighting advanced cancer for over two years and hear of these types of 'cancer cures' all the time. It really just needs to go through the Clinical Trial process and see what happens when it is tried on humans. Unfortunately, as most people seem to be totally unaware . . new treatments need to be tested on cancer patients . . . extremely sick cancer patients. Researchers are not allowed to demand cancer patients take and test their drugs or treatment. All cancer patients must volunteer to risk what remains of their life in order to find that 'cure'. There are over 200 different types of cancer to be tested . . some of the cancers will respond to the drug and some will not . . no one knows which cancer types will respond. So, basically all you have at the moment is theories . . not tested and true 'cancer cures' .
