Innovative Research from OneOncology at ASH Annual Meeting
Key Highlights
- 25 scientific abstracts highlighting work in lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma, showcasing the vital role community-based investigators play in blood cancer research.
- Significantly, data indicate that bi-specific antibodies are safely applicable in community practices.
- Research efforts show a promising expansion of CAR-T therapies into aggressive forms of the disease, making strides in treating vulnerable patient groups.
OneOncology, a physician-led platform focused on enhancing independent medical specialty practices, along with the OneOncology Research Network (OneR), proudly spotlight the scientific contributions of its partner practice investigators. Their significant findings will be unveiled at the upcoming American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting.
Showcasing Key Research Themes
This year’s presentations at ASH encompass a diverse range of hematologic malignancies. A total of 25 presentations, including seven oral discussions and 18 poster sessions, will emphasize the crucial role that community-based research sites have in fostering innovation across various targeted therapies and clinical trials.
Expanding Access to Innovative Treatments
According to Dr. Ian W. Flinn, Chief Scientific Officer at OneOncology, "These outcomes demonstrate that our affiliated practices are successfully integrating essential research into the communities where patients reside. The studies highlighted at the ASH meeting address complex challenges, such as the operationalization of cellular therapies and bi-specific antibodies, ultimately broadening access for patients who may not typically engage with research opportunities."
Findings of OneR-Affiliated Investigators
- Innovative therapies: Subcutaneous bispecific antibodies are emerging as transformative frontline options.
- Cellular approaches: Ongoing advancements integrate cellular therapies into treatment for aggressive diseases, including those impacting frail populations.
- Next-generation BTK inhibitors: These agents are yielding durable responses among high-risk patient groups.
- Novel agents: First-in-human studies are shaping future treatment paradigms essential for patient care.
- Genomic tools: Profound improvements in disease assessment and care pathways through genomic profiling.
- Guideline contributions: Ongoing studies are helping to refine clinical guidelines and enhance real-world practice.
- Broad participation: OneR sites are actively engaged in earliest-phase and cell therapy research, contributing significantly across the translational research spectrum beyond late-phase trials.
