Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Deborah Bruner Discusses NRG NCORP

Q: How do you believe that the ongoing work of NCORP will directly translate into a concrete outcome to better cancer treatments for patients?

We have many clinical practice changing studies that have changed the way doctors treat cancer patients in a very positive way.

NRG at the ASTRO Late-Breaking Session

Q: Do you think there will be appeal to adopting the results of this study as a treatment option for patients before a phase 3 trial can be run?

There will be some patients and some clinicians that view the results as sufficient to start offering proton therapy off trial as a standard of care, but we clearly need to generate high-level data to support that decision.

NRG at the ASTRO Late-Breaking Session

Q: What will it take to routinely adopt dose escalated proton therapy for glioblastoma?

The next step is indeed to conduct a definitive clinical trial to demonstrate whether this survival benefit is meaningful and can be demonstrated in a properly conducted phase 3 trial with the appropriate p-values.

NRG at the ASTRO Late-Breaking Session

Q: What really stood out to you about these results, and was there anything that surprised you that you might not have anticipated?

We found that there was no negative impact on quality of life; the FACT-TOI was actually pretty much the same in both arms, slightly better actually in the immunotherapy arm at about 21 months after treatment.

NRG at the ASTRO Late-Breaking Session

Q: Can you tell Steven and I about what the late-breaking abstract session really is, and how studies are selected for it?

The late-breaking abstracts is such a special session because, as we know, for a major scientific meeting like Astro, there's thousands of abstracts that get submitted for the meeting, and it takes months and months of preparations to have that peer review process and to go through selecting of the abstracts.
