Dr @mal_itchins highlights 19 yrs of progress in ROS1 w latest data on zidesamtinib at #WCLC26. Congratulates work by @RO1ders @jfreemandaily Lilian Leigh @ProjectBreath. “12 yrs ago we didn’t test for ROS1 in Australia but thanks to a #clinicaltrial Lillian is still here today.”

Great to see more studies & focus on our EGFR exon 20 lung cancer population w presentations by @chulkimMD @danieltanmd and Dr Lyudmila Bazhenov at #WCLC26 @JillFeldman4 challenges on why data on reduced doses is not presented. Staying on treatment is key. Panel agrees

👀 "Thinking about these toxicities is a very different scenario than thinking about most other toxicities, because they can be so acutely harmful depending on the circumstances," said David Gerber, MD, of @UTSWMedCenter on neurocognitive tradeoffs of later-generation ALK TKIs in NSCLC.

At 38, Mayya had the dream family & career. Everything was going to plan. Then came a stage 4 ALK+ lung cancer diagnosis. Her first treatment worked. 8 months later, had wide progression. Read about what it’s like when you need to build a custom plan 👉 oncogeneresearch.org/mayyas-…

Maybe that’s why oncolgists and hospitals are big fans of the @ALKPositiveinc community. We communicate well on a Facebook group and even built a trials finder into the ALKPositive.org website. We insta fill trials as they become available!

And finally, to the ALK-positive community: thank you for believing in this project long before there was much evidence that it would succeed. Your support made this work possible, and we hope this is just the beginning of a new way to develop medicines for patients.

in this work from the very beginning. John immediately recognized the potential of pursuing EML4-ALK and continually pushed us to explore the idea of converting existing drugs into COUPLrs. His vision, scientific instincts, and unwavering enthusiasm helped shape this project
