Amanda Walker, MD, talks about what the clinical trials process looks like from the industry side, as well as the importance of dose optimization.

@freddyeescorcia oh man, loved that guy. Every time I make waffles I tell my kids "Waffles are like pancakes... with a syrup trap."

[Thomas Hope @thomashopemd]

Amazing meeting put on by @SNM_MI to bring together industry, academia and the @US_FDA. We had great collaborative discussions with our colleagues from the @FDAOncology and DIRM, which will help set the foundation for the future development of RLTs. https://t.co/ZeJ84gLaAW

I always say that I need to work on my power of persuasion. Perfect example right here… TEN YEARS! 😂

Yes, PROs are so important yet feels like a huge risk to incorporate in statistical hierarchy. You are likely aware, but FDA provides a nice framework for PROs in this Guidance https://t.co/1bGEbXY01E.

@freddyeescorcia @subatomicdoc @AE_MarciscanoMD @adapthyun @PatelOncology @davidraben Good timing. Thanks! Will read this .

[Amanda Walker, MD @DrAJWalker]

Dear #radonc and #medonc colleagues... I'm putting together a talk and would appreciate your help... Have there been any positive randomized trials with IO+EBRT given concurrently?! Thank you in advance!

@subatomicdoc @AE_MarciscanoMD @adapthyun @PatelOncology @davidraben 🙏

[Amanda Walker, MD @DrAJWalker]

@NicholasZaorsky @subatomicdoc @AE_MarciscanoMD @adapthyun @PatelOncology @davidraben AMAZING. Thank you! I'm concluding that all RCTs have been negative (but we can hold out hope for the few that haven't read out yet).

[Amanda Walker, MD @DrAJWalker]

@PatelOncology @subatomicdoc @AE_MarciscanoMD @adapthyun @davidraben Thx! thinking of additive effect of IO in addition to EBRT+/- chemo. KN799 is randomized but all patients receiving pembro. Are there any positive randomized trials that isolate effect of IO? I didn't see a press release stating that pacific 2 meet PFS primary endpoint?

[FDA Oncology @FDAOncology]

[Emily Whitehead Foundation @EWhiteheadFdn]

On this day in 2012, Emily became the "FIRST KID EVER" to receive a #CARTcell infusion. Just 23 days later, Emily was declared cancer free!

Today, Emily is considered cured — and those CAR T-cells remain detectable & hard at work in her system.

@AmanChauhanMD Amazing!! 🤩

The abscopal effect is like the big foot of oncology: everyone thinks they've seen it once, but no one remembers how to find it.
