Great summary from Ryan Corcoran Mass General Cancer Center re targeting RAS. Similar single agent ORR G12Cinh PDAC compared w/ NSCLC, vs CRC which improves w/ addition anti-EGFR. Supports KRAS good target in PDAC …just need to progress in G12D #ESMOGI24

Masterclass in ctDNA from Jeanne Tie at #ESMOGI24. Efforts to improve sensitivity inc: track more muts (WES vs panel), reduce BG noise (seq PBMCs, technical improvements), increase cf DNA input (how much blood ethically ok w serial collections) #aussiesonthepodium

PDAC has more negative trials than any other tumour stream… Trying to find Prof Thomas Seufferlein’s summary slide motivating rather than deflating. Nal-iri combos underwhelming and not compared to FOLFIRI/mFFX #ESMOGI24
