New in @BrJCancer : post hoc analysis of METIMMOX - high TMB or BRAF-V600E may identify nivolumab responders in MSS metastatic CRC.
Hypothesis-generating, PFS only, prognostic vs. predictive unresolved. But a signal worth pursuing. 🧬

BREAKWATER: Encorafenib + cetuximab + mFOLFOX6 vs standard care in 1L BRAF V600E mCRC
PFS➡️12.8 vs 7.1 mo✅️
OS➡️ 30.3 vs 15.1 mo✅️👏
💥For one of the hardest-to-treat mCRC subtypes, this triplet shows substantial survival benefit.

Thank you Norw. Cancer Society, for believing once again in the METIMMOX concept (oxaliplatin & #ICPI) for #MSS#CRC abdominal mets, 4th time: METIMMOX-1 funded 2016, METIMMOX-2 funded 2020 & 2022, METIMMOX-3 funded today! 💥 Precision Oncology when it really matters (1L Tx) 🎯
Here's a @DagensMedisin article (in Norwegian) about @anne_h_ree et al.'s #ESMO24 poster on subgroups of MSS/pMMR mCRC pts who might benefit from PD1/PDL1 inhibition:

Attending #ESMO24 w/ @anne_h_ree, Paula Bousquet, & Sebastian Meltzer to present on the value of treating MSS/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer w/ immunotherapy and - critically - the role of biomarkers
#ESMO2024
#ESMOGI24: Do recent advances offer hope for mismatch repair-proficient and MSS #CRC pts who have a lower mutational burden and have historically been less responsive to immunotherapy?
Read the opinion by @MyriamChalabi on #ESMODailyReporter to find out

What's the next step in immuno-oncology for CRC? (note: you need to understand Norwegian (trøndersk) to apprehend my view in this news flash) #ASCO24#CRC#MSS#MSI#IO @Ahus_no @UniOslo_MED
Love this tool developed by @EivindAsk. We use it for all complex flow/mass cytometry projects with lots of metadata. MetaGate: Interactive analysis of high-dimensional cytometry data with metadata integration: Patterns https://t.co/FlVHk9nXnu

Alternating = de-intensified #oxaliplatin & #nivolumab, 1L Tx for abdominal mets #MSS#pMMR#CRC - no better/worse than SoC chemo but beneficial for subgroup. 16% CR! Long PFS. Curious who’s in subgroup? Stay tuned! (we’ll tell soon)
Another METIMMOX-1 (#MSS#CRC) poster, this time at #AACR2024. Precision Oncology when it really matters! (1L Rx) The convincing PFS curves behind my back – will remain a little secret until full publication 😉
#GI24 The METIMMOX concept #CRC#MSS#ICI#ICB continues to reveal new and previously unrecognized insights into #IO. Here, Dr Sebastian Meltzer presents how he (w/ collaborators) is propelling this important science for the best of our patients.
Delighted at 20th Portuguese Oncology Congress discussing “Off-label therapy based on biomarkers: is it cost-effective as last-line treatment?” (answer: No!) Million thanks for hospitality, congress dinner at Forte da Cruz Estoril, light therapy when dark/cold November at home.
Brilliant @EivindAsk developed MetaGate: Interactive Analysis of High-Dimensional Cytometry Data with Meta Data Integration. This tool will help you if you have a large flow/mass cytometry dataset and associated clinical meta data @CoE_PRIMA@UniOslo_MED https://t.co/MCqSPo7vzI
See our landmark study highlighting gender inequity in female cancer research leadership in Europe. Results for research powerhouses v poor. UK: 33% Germany/Switzerland: 25%. Data do not lie. Must act quickly and decisively to reverse this injustice https://t.co/h5RTpInHIE
