NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University officially named the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation Breast Cancer OncoSET program.

LSCRF Breast Cancer OncoSET will combine oncology with genomic tumor profiling. The program will initially focus on patients with breast cancer that is non-responsive to traditional therapeutic treatments, and will serve as an extension of the Northwestern OncoSET program that was first launched earlier this year by the Lurie Cancer Center, in collaboration with Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

The Breast Cancer OncoSET program was made possible by a generous donation from the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation, which is the first major naming gift that a Northwestern OncoSET program has received.

In January, FDA released a draft guidance entitled “Minimal Residual Disease and Complete Response in Multiple Myeloma: Use as Endpoints to Support Accelerated Approval.” This release came roughly 20 months after the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) voted unanimously that minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, in combination with complete response (CR), is an acceptable primary endpoint to support accelerated approval for multiple myeloma (MM) therapies.
