Applying genomics, computational biology, and bioengineering to improve the lives of patients with cancer
I echo and support Ann LaCasce's optimistic assessment of #ctDNA for blood cancers in this recent Targeted Oncology article. As Ann points out, ctDNA is showing promise to be more than a monitoring and treatment response tool. It can be a predictive and actionable biomarker for continued or new treatment strategies. Our partnership with Allogene Therapeutics on their ALPHA3 trial is studying this very application. By funneling patients who still have detectable ctDNA after 1L chemotherapy to a new CAR T therapy, we are hoping to meaningfully improve patient outcomes compared to today’s standard of ‘wait and see.’ https://lnkd.in/g8WNjjfA #ctdna #mrd #lymphoma #oncology #precisionmedicine #liquidbiopsy
