Oral agents have changed the CLL treatment landscape. But how does their cost affect patients? Here's a review of our #ASH24 abstract on the relationship between financial toxicity, medication adherence, and health-related QOL in CLL pts on 1L oral therapy #lymsm 🧵/1

This is the silent part that people wouldn't know. Behind closed doors inside a medical conference, a large group of clinicians and researchers giving a standing ovation to another group of clinicians and researchers who found a way to increase survival in patients suffering from one of the, if not the, worst cancer in humans. Metastatic pancreatic cancer. They'll do this and then be on their way to see their patients the next day as if nothing happened. And then work on something new to better what they did in this room. That is how medical science works. Value it and value its practitioners.
One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

The overall survival curves for Daraxonrasib in 2nd line advanced #PancreaticCancer leave no doubt how impactful this advance is for the field & for patients. Congratulations Brian Wolpin, @EileenMOReilly & @md_oberstein et al. A seminal #ASCO26 plenary! nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

This is truly so exciting. My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the week before my college graduation, and he was the reason I went into oncology. I am so excited to see this progress for patients like him.
As many other oncologists will also attest, we were taught this was a dead end It was, dogmatically, never going to work — kras was too much of a ā€œgreasy ballā€ to be targeted And yet here we are, with truly meaningful survival curvesšŸ‘‡ Inspiration on multiple levels #ASCO26

Presented at #ASCO26: Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: nej.md/4nWaxvM @ASCO

Honored to present our CUBIC study on real-world outcomes in bispecific antibodies in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. In a cohort of 99 patients, these therapies appear similarly as safe and effective as demonstrated in clinical trial populations. Manuscript coming soon!

Biggest thanks to my mentors Dr. Alli Bock and Dr. Sairah Ahmed, my co-author Rahul Shah, and all participating CUBIC institutions. It was also very special to present on a panel led by one of my mentors at Colorado, @mana1981, and to collaborate with another CU mentor @majorajay

And, ePRO monitoring has an OS benefit! #ASCO26 - ~40k pts across 6 health systems using EHR-integrated eSyM system eSyM users had better OS than non-users: - Chemo: HR 0.63, absolute 1-yr OS benefit 10.2% - Surg onc: HR 0.58, absolute 1-yr OS benefit 2.8% Many of our anti-cancer therapies don't even have this level of evidence! #onctwitter
We are one of the first participating sites in the OncoPRO Initiative, now presented at #ASCO26. We implemented ePRO monitoring @CUCancerCenter (spearheaded by Dr. @majorajay) as part of routine cancer care to better support patients during treatment. asco.org/abstracts-presentat…

Our study on patient-reported time toxicity of BsAb in R/R FL & DLBCL: - 120 pts actively receiving BsAb tx - fixed-duration BsAb (glofi, mosun) = less healthcare contact days & ~50% less time burden (vs epco) - no difference in infusion time between IV and SQ Time-limited & less frequent BsAb dosing translates into meaningful reductions in time toxicity, both in the clinic and at home. #lymsm academic.oup.com/oncolo/adva…

It’s strange that we ask trainees to read clinical trials but never really teach them how to read clinical trials. I’d request all training program directors and mentors to please share this article to their trainees and fellows- ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-… Grateful to @JCOOP_ASCO for making this free.
A MUST-READ! This is probably one of my most important papers where I try to teach how to fish rather than offer fish. How I Read a Clinical Trial Report? BG’s primer for Busy Clinicians. Thank you @JCOOP_ASCO @EthicsdoctorP for the kind invitation. I hope the readers will find this useful. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-…
