Findings from the phase 2b ReNeu trial show significant pain relief with mirdametinib in adult and pediatric patients with NF1-PN.
Drs Jain and Shah discuss the future of patient care in metastatic bladder cancer, while Mr. and Mrs. Ehas share advice for patients with bladder cancer, advice for caregivers and closing thoughts on their overall journey.
Researchers demonstrated that haplo-HSCT, combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, is a feasible and effective treatment for hematologic malignancies even in resource-limited settings.
A patient with GVHD chronicles his treatment experience, and GVHD experts share thoughts on how to approach treatment.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based next- generation sequencing (NGS) assays have advantages over classic tissue-based analyses because of their low invasiveness and availability of repeated sampling. The existence of various companion trials for common alterations that can be potential therapy targets on the 2 platforms can lead to future international collaboration.

ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has rapidly spread all over the world in the past several months. No effective treatment for COVID-19 has been established. High transmissibility and considerable mortality rates have forced many national governments to implement quarantine measures. Many patients with cancer rely on clinical trials to receive their oncologic care, but the routine conduct of clinical trials has substantially changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The oncology research community should implement formal policies based on the guidance given from regulatory agencies, with the goal of minimizing the risks of COVID-19 infection while maintaining appropriate oncologic treatments for patients during this pandemic.
