Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 108: In the Clinic - The Revolution in Platinum resistant Ovarian Cancer with Dr Rowan Miller
Q: How does the addition of Pembrolizumab affect outcomes in the B96 trial?
Pembrolizumab added to Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab improved progression-free and overall survival, particularly in patients with CPS greater than one, suggesting a biomarker-driven benefit.
Episode 108: In the Clinic - The Revolution in Platinum resistant Ovarian Cancer with Dr Rowan Miller
Q: What is the significance of Mervetuximab in platinum-resistant disease?
Mervetuximab is a folate receptor-targeted antibody-drug conjugate that demonstrated a meaningful improvement in progression-free and overall survival compared with physician's choice chemotherapy, representing a new, non-chemotherapy mechanism in this setting.
Episode 108: In the Clinic - The Revolution in Platinum resistant Ovarian Cancer with Dr Rowan Miller
Q: What is the current definition of platinum resistance and how has it evolved recently?
The definition has shifted from a hard six-month cutoff to a more nuanced view that in practice allows re-challenge with platinum if relapse occurs after a shorter interval, though for trial eligibility the old six-month rule often still applies.
Episode 105: In the Clinic - the ADePT Trial in Glioblastoma - dual payload gene therapy - with Dr Faye Robertson
Q: How do you determine the starting dose and how is dosing escalated?
Starting dose is informed by mouse data and adjusted for human tumor volume and concentration; the trial uses a Bayesian optimal interval design to find an optimal biological dose that balances activity in tissue with safety, rather than simply chasing maximum tolerated dose.
Episode 105: In the Clinic - the ADePT Trial in Glioblastoma - dual payload gene therapy - with Dr Faye Robertson
Q: What makes this trial different from previous GBM trials?
It uses a transcription factor-guided dual payload gene therapy (HSV-TK and IL-12) delivered directly into the tumor via convection-enhanced delivery, aiming for a therapeutic window that spares healthy tissue and elicits a robust local immune response, with emphasis on obtaining tissue data to understand mechanisms and toxicity early.
