Wonderful team effort from many people around the world. I want to take a second to especially thank our patients and families without whom we could not have accomplished this. We are in your debt. Shout out to the RET Renegades! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

A call for rational type II TKI development. Seen through the lens of next-gen TRK inhibitor resistance in TRK fusion+ cancers. 🤓Highlights the utility of TKI type switching as a strategy for on-target resistance in oncogene-driven tumors. Emiliano Cocco Maurizio Scaltriti

MET IHC is back from the dead! We wrote it off as a biomarker, but pl see latest study from our group lead by Alexander Drilon MD & Robin Guo which found MET expression to predict TKI response in MET Ex 14-altered NSCLC. Twists & turns of the ever-evolving NSCLC biomarker story!

Congratulations to Noura Choudhury, MD on her Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation ASCO Young Investigator Award. I'm lucky to co-mentor her with Helena Yu . She has an interesting trial combining amivantamab and lazertinib in patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC progressing in the CNS (almost open!).

Quick recap of today's presentation of Zeno in heavily pretreated NRG1+ solid tumors. Efficacy observed across tumor types with ORR of 42% in PDAC. Thanks to ASCO for the opportunity to present, Ignacio Garrido-Laguna for an excellent discussion, collaborators, and patients. #ASCO2021

The first publication of larotrectinib in NTRK fusion+ lung cancers alone is out. Beyond the initial systemic & intracranial response gains, the ~35 month median PFS and the ~41 month median OS impress. Wonderful news for patients, advocates, and providers across the world.

RETi resistance in lung, thyroid & other cancers can be complex. This paper includes insights into the serial kinetics of resistance acquisition, the potential emergence of RET wild type populations & the frequency of polyclonal resistance. Proud to be part of this team!

Excellent work from the Klebanoff lab on TCR development for an HLA-A*03:01 restricted public neoantigen generated in the context of a PIK3CA H1047L catalytic subunit hotspot mutation. rdcu.be/cMjvb

Hello, 3rd ed! The print version is out in a few weeks. The digital version is available now on Kindle and other e-readers. Congratulations to Noura Choudhury, MD Yonina Murciano-Goroff Neil Vasan and the many contributing authors!! amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B9T5…

Out today in Cancer Discovery our new work where we describe the genetic bases of acquired resistance to EGFR/KRAS G12C dual blockade in colorectal cancer. Here’s the link of the paper shorturl.at/EOPT8 and a thread👇:

Breaking tradition can improve patient outcomes. In novel-known combinations where the novel drug is unlikely to work well alone, prolonged exposure to monotherapy in dose escalation is not patient-centric. This alternative FDA-approved phase I design poses a potential solution.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join the lab of the fabulous Dr. Misale. Our phase I team is absolutely excited to continue working with her. Congratulations Sandra Misale!!

Repotrectinib is FDA approved for ROS1+ lung cancers in the TKI naive and pretreated settings. Many thanks to the patients, advocates, and study teams around the world who made this possible. onclive.com/view/fda-appro…

In the era of Project Optimus, expeditiousness needs to be preserved for dose finding in rare cancers. Common cancers now contain multiple rare genomic and proteomic subsets, underscoring the importance of this mindset. Yonina Murciano-Goroff Alexia Iasonos
