AML23: A Phase 2 study of venetoclax in children with newly diagnosed AML

AML23: A Phase 2 study of venetoclax in children with newly diagnosed AML Summary:  Although the survival rates for children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have reached 70%, little improvement has been made in the past 20 years. Approximately 25% of patients relapse and only about 40% of these patients are subsequently cured. It is highly unlikely that improvements can be made […]

Pan-cancer telemedicine registry of immunotherapy responses in patients with structural variations in PD-1 ligands

Pan-cancer telemedicine registry of immunotherapy responses in patients with structural variations in PD-1 ligands Summary:  Cancer cells evolve and develop protective mechanisms to hide themselves from cancer killing T-cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), block these protective mechanisms by targeting PD-1/PD-L1, unhiding cancer cells so that they can be killed by T-cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have […]

The STOP-HER2 Study

The STOP-HER2 Study Summary:  HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancers account for 20-25% of breast cancers and are associated with higher rates of recurrence and brain metastases. However, in the past two decades, HER2 targeting therapies have drastically improved patient outcomes and most patients treated with stage I-III HER2+ breast cancer are cured. For patients with […]
