Ontada's Contribution to Real-World Oncology Research
At the forefront of oncology advancements, Ontada, a part of McKesson Corporation, is poised to showcase its significant contributions at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. Ontada specializes in real-world data and evidence, clinical education, and technologies that enhance patient care in cancer treatment. This event marks an important occasion for Ontada as it presents groundbreaking research and introduces two innovative solutions aimed at improving cancer outcomes.
Groundbreaking Research Presentations at ASH
During this year's ASH conference, which brings together experts from around the world, Ontada will deliver insights through nine abstracts. Focused on the application of innovative therapies in community oncology settings, these presentations will illuminate the essential role real-world research plays in developing cancer treatments.
The Importance of Real-World Data
According to Dr. Ira Zackon, MD, Senior Medical Director for Ontada, conducting real-world research within community settings is vital. These retrospective studies help determine the efficacy of various cancer treatments, support value-based care initiatives, inform clinical development, and heighten the overall understanding of established care standards.
Research Topics Covered
The research showcased will cover pivotal indications such as Myelofibrosis, Multiple Myeloma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), all treated within community oncology environments. Dr. Zackon will collaborate with Lisa Herms, PhD, to present two key posters that highlight critical findings relating to the use and outcomes of advanced therapies.
Notable Posters Presentation
- Poster #2410: Real-World Utilization of Bispecific Antibodies for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma in the US Community Oncology Setting
- This study investigates characteristics and treatment patterns among 564 adult patients with relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma, focusing on those treated with bispecific antibodies compared to those who received extensive prior therapies.
- Poster #3094: Trends in Real-World Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Treated in the US Community Oncology Setting Pre- and Post-CAR-T Approvals
- This research analyzes trends among over 15,000 patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, shedding light on how CAR-T approvals have influenced treatment in community settings.
