Excited to share our latest in @CCR_AACR, collab w @sriv4000 and led by @JoeHiattMDPHD on LSD1 inhibition augmenting immune responses in SCLC. The project was supported by the @theNCI Lung SPORE and has led to a new clinical trial @fredhutch aacrjournals.org/clincancerr… 1/X

So today I called for Progression Free Survival (PFS) to be renamed as Progression Free Duration (PFD) because “improved PFS” incorrectly sends out a signal to patients that survival is prolonged— when in reality it may or may not be prolonged & can even be worse. @TheLancetOncol

Simply points for #IMW2019 attendees to keep in mind. - Ph II studies are a hypothesis — not proof - “Activity” is not = clinical benefit. - Clinical benefit = improved OS or validated PRO; plus safety - PFS, MRD-, CR = Surrogate end points @TheLancet thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Survival with TKI's 2-fold worse in patients who have the highest out of pocket cost! Seen in patients with Medicare! Congratulations on great study Dr. Goulart, @ScottDRamsey @junger47 #ASCOQLTY19
