“Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab has the potential to become a platinum-free option for cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced and metastatic urothelial cancer patients in the first-line setting," said
Christopher J. Hoimes, DO, hematologist/oncologist at University Hospitals, assistant professor at CWRU School of Medicine, and member of the
Case CCC's GU Malignancies program, at the 2019 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress last week.

Submit Proposals for Support of Investigator-initiated, Early Phase Clinical Trials
|
The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) has budgeted funds for the conduct of early phase clinical trials of relatively short duration. The objectives are to identify and fund investigator-initiated trials, which meet the Cancer Center Support Grant and Case CCC requirements, entertain highly innovative and novel ideas, and
which directly foster the mission of the Case CCC. These may be new trials under development or an existing investigator-initiated trial that is unfunded/underfunded. Priority will be given to trials that have been developed jointly between investigators at both hospital systems (CCF and UH), with planned accrual at both sites.

Cancer Center Seminar Series
October 4, 12p
WRB Auditorium
Today's seminar will feature
Jacob Scott, MD, DPhil
, presenting, "Cancer Evolution" at noon in the WRB Auditorium, 1-413.
Dr. Scott is associate staff in the department of translational hematology and oncology research (THOR) and radiation oncology at Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute and a member of the Case CCC's Developmental Therapeutics program.
His lab seeks to use a suite of mathematical and experimental models to deconvolute the complexity of the evolutionary process to increase efficacy of targeted therapies and radiation. This same knowledge can be further harnessed to understand the differences in disease progression and therapy response on a personalized basis, so that the right treatment can be given to the right patient at the right time.
Note, there will not be a Cancer Center Seminar next week, Friday, October 11 due to Homecoming.

LOI Deadline: October 24
The AACR Anna D. Barker Basic Cancer Research Fellowship encourages and supports postdoctoral or clinical research fellows to establish a successful career path in cancer research. The research proposed for funding may be in any area of basic cancer research.
The fellowship provides a two-year grant of $110,000 to support the salary and benefits of the fellow while working on a mentored basic cancer research project. A partial amount of funds may be designated for non-personnel expenses, such as research/laboratory supplies, equipment, publication charges for manuscripts that pertain directly to the funded project, and other research expenses.
