#gyncsm ATHENA-MONO volunteers
75% White, 22% Asian.
This will be a problem going forward. Volunteers on trials should represent the demographics of those who get the disease.
FWIW: Ref SEER (Cases per 100K persons)
ATHENA-MONO Progression free survival favors rucaparib over placebo in volunteers with HRD
Monk: Subgroup analyses all point towards benefit to rucaparib
Three-fold higher toxicities seen with ruacaprib...
Like Niraparib, rucaparib shows a benefit to PFS in the first-line setting as maintenance following chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
FYI: When talking about deaths, realize statistically it's fine to call them "events" but they occur in people so maybe rethink that.

This should be interesting as I am running a trial in clear cell cancer with colleagues @BrownOncology

Retrospective study suggests bevacizumab + chemo improved survival in people with ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Hypothesis generating for sure.
This study was a larger retrospective in Japan before and after Bev was approved.
Ruxolitinib = JACK 1/2 inhibitor. The IL-6/JAK/STAT3 implicated in the survival of cancer stem like cells. Inhibition of this axis may improve the activity of chemotherapy.
SO... "dispositioned to neoadjuvant chemotherapy" seems really weird to say. These volunteers were recommended to NACT.
