In May 2019, Dr. @rschilsky & I co-chaired the #AAADV19 Workshop Plenary Session "Decentralized #ClinicalTrials: The Future is Now." An incredible group of panelists from academia, industry, govt, & patient #advocacy 👇discussed the rationale, challenges, & opportunities of DCTs. Image
No one knew yet that the #COVID19 #pandemic was just around the corner. In Mar 2020, FDA released a guidance on conduct of #clinicaltrials during the pandemic: fda.gov/media/136238/d…, & colleagues wrote about the impact on #OncTwitter trials: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…. /2
FDA has now released a draft guidance on decentralized #clinicaltrials for drugs, biological products, & devices covering #telehealth, remote assessments, consent, shipping of IP, & more: fda.gov/media/167696/d…. #MedTwitter #regulatory #drugdevelopment Image

Here it is: #LateBreakingAbstract at #ASTRO20 SS19 available to view now! Early analysis of trial (NCT03340974) using high-dose SBRT with avasopasem (GC4419) in #PancreaticCancer #PancSM #ASTRO20 Thread👇
This trial tried to address an unmet need for a specific group of #PancreaticCancer #PancSM patients whose disease had not progressed but remained unresectable after chemotherapy. #ASTRO20 @ACKoongMDPhD
Patients would be enrolled on the trial after finishing a minimum of 3 months of standard-of-care chemotherapy. They would receive SBRT with Avasopasem or a placebo control just prior to each SBRT treatment. #ASTRO20

One day late, but wanted to summarize #PancreaticCancer #PancSM talks from yesterday’s #ASTRO20 session on hypofractionation in GI Cancers before spill the beans on my study... 1/9
@MikeChoungMD gave a great talk on the @UMiami experience with #MRLinac for #PancreaticCancer #PancSM. This is a great technology that allows #RadOnc to replan the treatment each day based on the anatomy of the nearby bowel. #ASTRO20 2/9
In this study on #MRLinac, they showed that they can safely deliver ablative doses (about 50Gy/5 fractions) with less than 2% acute and late GI tox. #ASTRO20 3/9

Still miles to go. OS median of 16 months pointing again to the systemic nature of disease. Need to piggyback these local approaches to better systemic. #OncoAlert

Eponyms are falling out of favor in medicine. They aren't descriptive and essentially require twice the memory space to recall both the name & the associated term.

But pancreaticoduodenectomy doesn't exactly roll off the tongue so I suspect the Whipple is here to stay.

Dr. Allen Whipple was a pioneering surgeon whose contributions to the field also include a still-relevant understanding of insulinomas (see also: Whipple's triad).

Still his incisive approach to the pancreas, small intestine, and bile ducts remains why he is best-remembered
3/
I have no operative skills myself so I like to describe that the Whipple-performing surgeon does to the upper abdomen what Picasso did to faces: radical rearrangements that, in the end, bare some vague semblance to the original orientation of features.
