The treatment mentioned has not yet been demonstrated to be a "definitive treatment for advanced disease that can produce reliable durable remissions or curative results", but there is some evidence that it may prove to be so in the future. I.e. either more evidence is needed or it needs development. For the moment, there are no other candidates.
