Response assessment of bone disease is an unmet need in mCRPC, resulting in people with bone-predominant disease excluded from early phase trials of new promising drugs, or staying on treatment longer with ineffective drugs. Very interesting data @RaqPerezLopez @quimmateo!
Our latest paper is now out in @EUplatinum -A prospective study of whole-body MRI in mCRPC with bone mets: the IPROMET clinical trial. Work with @RaqPerezLopez @radiomicsVHIO authors.elsevier.com/a/1ilku…

Glad to see results of the NICAM phase 2 trial are finally out! NICAM is one of the first biomarker-driven trials run by @ICR_CTSU in rare melanoma cancers with few therapeutic options available #teamscience #clinicaltrials
The results of our NICAM study have been published in @CellRepMed. NICAM investigates the use of a drug called nilotinib in rare forms of advanced #Melanoma with a mutation in a specific gene. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Another publication derived from the BC2001 trial in muscle-invasive bladder cancer - learning as much as we can from our trials! #clinicaltrials #secondaryresearch #biomarkers
A paper using samples from the BC2001 #ClinicalTrial has been published in @eBioMedicine. The project investigates whether a 24-gene-signature could identify patients who benefitted from chemotherapy in BC2001. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Honoured to be part of this group of amazing statisticians! The #MCCRworkshop not only is a great opportunity for our clinical colleagues, but for us to network, mentor and support each other. Thanks @AACR @myESMO @EORTC for the invite, and @ICR_CTSU for the support!
During #MCCR2023 @AACR @EORTC @myESMO we were so lucky to have this unique group of rockstar statisticians among us. Your contribution was invaluable! Thank you all so much. No clinical trials without you.
