Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Smaller Institution Accrual with Dr. Ueno
Q: How has the University of Hawaii approached the problem of budget for clinical trials like NRG oncology trials?
They are trying to balance between industry-sponsored studies and NRG studies, but many studies do not provide sufficient cash flow to be successful.
Smaller Institution Accrual with Dr. Ueno
Q: What has been your biggest challenge thus far with the NCI Sponsored Trial Program in a small community-based environment like Hawaii?
Many eligibility criteria for trials have become complex, making it challenging to find eligible patients and causing significant enrollment drops.
Smaller Institution Accrual with Dr. Ueno
Q: What are the advantages of being in a smaller environment, especially as it relates to NRG trials?
It requires additional effort for understanding of clinical trials and building trust, but we have a community outreach advantage with a culturally sensitive approach.
NRG-GI011 "LAP100" in Pancreatic Cancer
Q: What advice and words of hope might you give to patients facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis?
Patients should know that progress is happening in pancreatic cancer and that clinical trials are essential for improving treatments; they should consider enrolling in a trial.
NRG-GI011 "LAP100" in Pancreatic Cancer
Q: How exactly is locally advanced pancreatic cancer defined for your study, and how good or bad are the current options for it outside of a clinical trial?
Locally advanced pancreatic cancer is defined as cancers that are localized but cannot be resected due to involvement of critical vessels, and current options for treatment are limited, with a standard of care being multi-agent chemotherapy.
