Missed the talk? Here's a summary of latest data on the selective next-gen TRK inhibitor LOXO-195 (BAY 2731954). On-target resistance to current inhibitors driven by kinase mutations in 3 positions (SF, xDFG, GK) - SF likely most common. #AACR19 @sloan_kettering @AACR 1/x LOXO-195 evaluated in 2 programs: formal Phase 1 dose escalation and @FDAOncology #ExpandedAccess program 👏 (for pts unable to enroll in P1). Here's the key eligibility and combined patient demographics. 15 tumor types. 30 pts TRKi resistant, 1 intolerant. 2/x

New at @nature - Efficacy of MEK inhibition in patients with histiocytosis. The culmination of an amazing 7-year collaboration @sloan_kettering with Eli Diamond @AbdelWahablab @ECDGA @Histiocytosis @Roche and many others! rdcu.be/bqSIq [1/x] We stumbled into histiocytosis after Barret Rollins' lab discovered BRAF V600 mutations in ~50% of LCH, followed later by Julian Haroche making similar observations in ECD.

Easing 'compassionate use' access to investigational drugs has been a major priority for the @FDAOncology @SGottliebFDA @tmprowell @BlumenthalG - now in @JAMAOnc our analysis of outcomes from this mechanism over 5 years @sloan_kettering ja.ma/2Ej78li [1/5] Key findings: 208 applications IRB-approved (185 administered), 43 cancer types treated, 66 unique products. ORR 20.1% (95% CI, 14.2%-27.2%). PFS at 1-year 24.5% (95% CI, 18.2%-31.4%). Meaningful benefit - albeit in minority of patients. [2/5]

Great #PrecisionDecision debate at #AACR18 with @VinayPrasadMD and @baslega1! Missed it? Who is ready for my first (and maybe only) TWEETORIAL? @AACR @sloan_kettering 1/15 But before I start, I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated to take on @VinayPrasadMD – the Twitter stats comparison wasn’t flattering. But I do have him beat on middle initials. #PrecisionDecision 2/15
