6:42pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Prasad: #AACR18 'But one is tissue, one is blood'. Even when both tissue: F1CDx, PCDx (Weiss GJ) 9 pts 9 drugs overlap, F1CDx vs G360

6:41pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Prasad: #AACR18 Problems with test: In 56 pts, get 133 muts sent back. Guardant360: 120 muts sent back. Only 36 overlap.

Prasad: #AACR18 Basket trials overall median resp rate is only 27%. But what would resp rate be from cytotoxics? 16.4-27.4% from 20y old Rx

6:38pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Prasad: #AACR18 Pt-level data, you can see over-rep sarcoma, salivary gland. Underrep: prostate and lung. Resp and non-resp: more non-resp

Prasad: #AACR18 Tissue-agnostic basket studies - Hyman and Baselga, doing it right, and recognized (!) But to look at all baskets...

6:36pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Prasad: #AACR18 Onto basket studies: Larotrectinib in TRK Fusion-pos cancers - salivary-gland tumors, soft-tissue sarcomas, not so common

Vinay Prasad (OHSU OR) Is Genome-Informed Cancer Medicine Generating Patient Benefit or Just Hype? #AACR18 @VinayPrasadMD

6:29pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 Pts need knowledge. Need drug access and real-world evidence.

6:28pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 NGS - can test for many mutation types; but cost; and tumor-only doesn't address germline. Clin trials alone insuff.

6:28pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 Progress in small pt populations; prec med unlikely to be effective for a majority of cancer pts

6:27pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 How many pts do we help? ~15% routine biomarkers; +10% invest biomarkers; +10-15% speculative biomarkers, preclin support

6:26pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 Gives a few examples of enh cure rates through precision med - HER2+ Breast - Node+ still some benefit

6:25pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 Opening clinical trials to examine this possibility. Alt is to 'just treat everyone'. PARPi main in recurr, Pt-sens, Ov Ca

6:23pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 Germline alterations area also potential targets (BRCA1/2) - 2.7% of their population. 59% exhibit LOH in tumor - causative?

6:20pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 MSK-IMPACT can also give parallel germline Dx - pre-test counselling via video, 18% had results '17 https://t.co/fMZVvEPt1V

6:19pm April 17th 2018 via Hootsuite

Hyman: #AACR18 - tumor-agnostic Rx, Pembro in MSI-H solid tumors, ORR 40%. TRK Fusion+ :65% of pts had TRK freq <1%.
