A historic moment at #ASCO26: more than 9,000 oncologists rose for three standing ovations as Brian Wolpin, MD, MPH, Director of the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research, presented promising new Phase 3 results for an investigational treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer.
In the trial, daraxonrasib helped patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer live significantly longer than those who received chemotherapy.
While more work remains, these findings offer something powerful: hope for patients and families facing one of the most challenging cancers.
As Dr. Wolpin said, “It is exciting to see that we may soon be able to help patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer in ways we haven’t been able to before, improving both survival and quality of life.”
Congratulations to the researchers and patients who made this important progress possible. 👏👏👏

Dr. Mahasweta Gooptu (@MGooptu) @danafarber &@nmdp_org presented results using post-transplant cyclophosphamide to prevent graft-versus-host disease in mismatched unrelated donor transplantation, with about 80% 1-year survival thus expanding access to allotransplant for all patients. #ASH25

Mahasweta Gooptu shares results from a Phase II expansion study focusing on PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis after MMUD PBSC transplantation with reduced-intensity conditioning (N = 193).
The 1-year OS estimate was 79.6%; rates were comparable between HLA 7/8-matched donor recipients and <7/8 matched donor recipients. The 1-year GRFS, 1-year PFS, 1-year CI rate of NRM, and 1-year CI rate of relapse was 49.9%, 70.2%, 12.5%, and 17.3%, respectively.

Donor selection guidelines are out! Grateful to have worked with amazing colleagues and the @CIBMTR and @nmdp_org on this effort. Advances in GVHD prophylaxis support moving beyond strict HLA models toward an integrated approach that brings us closer to a suitable donor for every patient. #ADonorForAll #PTCyRules
