Mashup Score: 22
TPS4205 Background: MRD detected by presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after intended curative treatment is associated with high risk of relapse in pancreatic cancer. Early treatment of patients with presence of ctDNA after completion of surgery +/- adjuvant therapy may offer an opportunity to clear ctDNA and improve outcomes. TG01 is a RAS-neoantigen peptide vaccine adjuvanted by QS-21 (Stimulon) targeting the seven most frequent codon 12-13 RAS mutations. TG01 has previously demonstrated ability to activate mutant RAS specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses in vaccinated patients and repeated TG01 dosing in resected pancreatic cancer was found to be well tolerated and associated with a median OS of 33.4 months (95% CI 24.0, 45.8)1,2. Checkpoint inhibitors as single agents have not shown anti-tumor activity in pancreatic cancer, suggesting that a priming agent inducing tumor-specific T-cells may be required to support efficacy. Balstilimab is a human monoclonal antibody targeti

Mashup Score: 43Pancreatic cancer - 1 month(s) ago
Pancreatic cancer is a highly fatal disease with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 10% in the USA, and it is becoming an increasingly common cause of cancer mortality. Risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include family history, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tobacco use. Patients typically present with advanced disease due to lack of or vague symptoms when the cancer is still localised. High quality computed tomography with intravenous contrast using a dual phase pancreatic protocol is typically the best method to detect a pancreatic tumour and to determine surgical resectability.

Researchers at @MSKCancerCenter have developed an individualized mRNA vaccine candidate, a potential advance in the treatment of #PancreaticCancer. The experimental vaccine is designed to train T cells to recognize cancer cells as foreign and destroy them. https://t.co/Tv6FOgmiFA https://t.co/8lKwnO2wRN

Mashup Score: 1Survey: Many adults don’t understand risks of pancreatic cancer - 2 month(s) ago
A survey shows that most American adults under 50 wouldn’t recognize signs of pancreatic cancer, and many believe it affects only the elderly, and that we can’t do anything to help prevent it. An @OSUCCC_James cancer researcher sets the record straight.

@pashtoonkasi @MDAndersonNews @DrShubhamPant Kudos ! Mind blowing results ! KRAS vaccines seem to be promising in the early studies. On a similar note, our currently open KRAS vaccine trial for resected #pancreaticcancer provides an opportunity to treat and hopefully benefit more patients https://t.co/ESdpmvrV1V
