Out of the five samples, the results were similar in four of them; the drug had not successfully killed the cancer cells.

Tara Summer removed her mask and smiled, "I've made progress over here!"
The two nurses in the lab shared looks of glee upon hearing the news and prepared to extract another round of blood samples from patients that afternoon.
