Hi Birgitta,
It is the liquid form of arsenic trixoxide developed at the University of Hong Kong. It was just announced that it has received a patent in the US. It has primarily been used for the treatment of APL with great results. I am trying to find out what paper this article was printed in so I can share. I don't know if it's a complete cure, but could be great for patients that are not able to undergo a transplant.
