Researchers with Biodesix and Genentech presented findings on a test designed to predict response to atezolizumab (Tecentriq) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

The blood-based test, which uses expression data from the circulating proteome to classify patients, was found to be predictive for OS and PFS between atezolizumab and docetaxel, the companies said.

Genentech is a member of the Roche Group.

These data suggest a patient’s likelihood of benefiting from PD-L1 checkpoint inhibition can be identified through circulating proteome in blood samples. Researchers presented their findings at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

I was really excited to get to talk about the role that mentorship plays in women’s leadership development.

There is an art to mentorship, and I want to share some of how that has helped me navigate career transitions and pivot to leadership roles.
