‼️Our study assessing the availability of 289 #RenalCellCarcinoma clinical trials in the US is out now in @JCOOP_ASCO: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-… 🎉
Our analysis asked 2️⃣ questions:
•Where are RCC trials in the US?
•Are trials disproportionately absent from certain regions?

Missed #ASCOQLTY26? Have a listen to the @ASCO Daily News Podcast for a conversation with @RyanNipp, this year's meetings chair. We highlight data from #DrGabrielleRocque related to the impact of CMS's Principal Illness Navigation codes, and @ShankaranVeena CREDIT trial, assessing the impact of proactive financial navigation. We move from there to the randomized #NutriCare study and then to @PauloBergerot's randomized assessment of exercise in patients getting checkpoint inhibitors. A brilliant array of abstracts, summarized in less than 25 minutes for your commute into the office!

On his podium debut, @RodrigoFribourg knocked it out of the park at #WSAUA26! Many thanks to @auawest for the opportunity, and @CityofHopeSurg @ClaytonLauMD for the support.
‼️Huge shoutout to #LaurenLau and @lilyMlau for bringing their work on localized/metastatic RCC clinical trial availability to #WSAUA26!
It's been such a joy watching them bring their own passion to our group's health disparities work – I encourage all to stop by their posters!

More is not always better in 1L RCC! Presenting LITESPARK-012 Ph.III: adding belzutifan or CTLA-4 blockade to Pembro/Len failed to improve PFS or OS.
PFS HR 1.08/1.07; OS HR 1.04/1.12.
ORR 69%/69% vs 76% SOC.
