When radiology fails to fix clinical trial imaging workflow at sites…
What most think, why it’s wrong, and what cancer centers really need

Radiology departments have tried for years to “own” or “fix” clinical trials imaging assessment workflows by extending clinical tools (PACS, worklists, dictation systems) and habits (speed, seamlessness, few clicks) into the research world.

NHS-Galleri MCD trial fails to meet primary endpoint of stage shift

High-level results from the randomized, controlled NHS-Galleri trial, which is evaluating GRAIL’s multi-cancer screening test, Galleri, over three years in 142,000 participants aged 50 to 77, reveals that the trial did not meet its primary endpoint of shifting cancer diagnosis from advanced stages (3 and 4) to earlier stage (1 and 2).

ARPA-H opens first interventional clinical trials to outpace cancer in real time

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, an agency within HHS, announced the opening of the first of three adaptive oncology clinical trials, under its Advanced Analysis for Precision Cancer Therapy program.

Antibody-drug conjugate achieves high response rates as frontline treatment in aggressive, rare blood cancer

Results from the phase I/II multicenter international CADENZA trial, led by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, show that 75% of patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm who were treated with the antibody-drug conjugate pivekimab sunirine had a complete response.

“Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans” no longer classified as clinical trials at NIH in an effort to reduce administrative burden

NIH announced Jan. 29 that “Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans,” also called BESH, will no longer be considered clinical trials and will therefore no longer be subject to the requirements under the NIH definition of a clinical trial, including registration and reporting requirements in ClinicalTrials.gov.

Itismeran autogene + Keytruda demonstrated improvement in recurrence-free survival in neoadjuvant melanoma

Moderna and Merck announced median five-year follow-up data from the phase IIb KEYNOTE-942/mRNA-4157-P201 study, evaluating intismeran autogene (mRNA-4157 or V940), an investigational mRNA-based individualized neoantigen therapy, in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, in patients with high-risk melanoma (stage 3/4) following complete resection.
