🚨While @SpaceX goes IPO and the world's glued to @FIFAWorldCup ⚽🚀an interesting paper popped up for your Friday read @NatureMedicine
👉Frontier general LLMs (GPT-5.2, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6) outperformed specialized clinical AI tools (OpenEvidence, UpToDate Expert AI) on medical knowledge, clinician alignment 1,800 blinded physician annotations on real clinical queries🤯
👉This result was unexpected 🤯🤔 👉"Specialized" ≠ "Better" @OncoAlert

🚨NEWS: This week, my legislation, the "Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act," reached 290 co-sponsors in the U.S. House -- an overwhelming bipartisan supermajority.
This legislation puts patient care and patient outcomes first, and it will greatly modernize and streamline the prior authorization process.

Last year, we reported that KRAS PRMT5 is synergistic in MTAP-null PDAC (doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CA…). Today, the first clinical data for a KRAS/PRMT5 combination was reported, with an incredible 92% ORR.
RAS inhibitors are the present, but combinations are the future!!

Happy to have contributed to this new work from @KathleenMulvan4 and @TheSellersLab, showing that KRAS and PRMT5 inhibitors synergy, out now in Cancer Research. KRAS/PRMT5 combos ($RVMD/$TNGX) are now in clinical trials, and results couldn't come sooner!

Pancreatic cancer is finally seeing real hope with KRAS inhibitors, neoantigen vaccines, and AI-powered early detection. These advances are game-changing.
Grateful to the entire team for breaking it down so clearly.

Pancreatic cancer will look very different in 5 years
✅ KRAS is no longer "undruggable"
✅ Neoantigen vaccines may stop recurrence
✅ AI can identify 'occult' tumors from routine scans
We tackle these stories in our new episode!

Speak it!
Sadly it is not IRB approvals anymore @BlayneyDouglas
NCI sponsored studies use central IRB, pre-approved budget, no contract and they still take 4 months to activate.
Hospital and ancillary service reviews need to be simplified

Agree with Dr. Beg here. Trial activation is too slow and too selective. There is also patient harm from cumulative addition of each step added with the intent to protect patients and investigators. Why not one central, responsive IRB?
Imagine this:
If CROs and academic centers would allow clinical trials activation and enrollment in the US to be modernized, the KRAS plenary would have been presented in #asco25 and we would have three more RAS trial readouts by today.

This tweet was from 4 years ago! So many patient years wasted due to bureaucratic delays in trial enrollment.
