🚨Historical presentation at #CTOS2025 ChonDRAgon - first positive randomised trial in chondrosarcoma 🔹Ozekibart vs placebo 🔹 mPFS 5.52 vs 2.66 months 🔹 HR 0.479; p<0.0001 🔹 a manageable safety profile - most common TRAE: fatigue, diarrhea, and nausea

I wish all spider plots from sarcoma trials would look like the one from the recent update of the DeFi trial leading to regulatory approval of nirogacestat in US and Europe for our patients with desmoid fibromatosis. https://t.co/MFHuEfp4Cx

@NobelPrize The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for discovering how the immune system prevents itself from attacking the body — a process called peripheral immune tolerance. Our immune system defends us from

Our grantees at @MDAndersonNews have uncovered a way to direct the immune system against brachyury, and their discoveries led to NIH funding for a clinical trial set to open next year led by @APConley77. Plus, we and @CancerResearch just co-awarded a new grant to the MD Anderson

Circulating Tumor Cells: Mechanistic drivers of metastasis & biomarker promise 🌊 Intravasation via EMT/VEGF; clusters = 25–50× ↑ metastasis 🔀 Lineage plasticity (epithelial ↔ mesenchymal ↔ neuroendocrine) 🛡️ Platelets & neutrophils shield CTCs; PD-L1+ escape 🧬

TBXT is present in many cancers, especially chordoma, but barely expressed in normal tissue. Aiming to exploit this difference, Cassian Yee and colleagues at @MDAndersonNews have found that TBXT peptides are expressed on MHC receptors and are now developing cell therapies to

🚨New paper alert: Today, in @jitcancer, we quantify the rate of baseline HLA loss of heterozygosity across >70,000 patients with common solid cancer types and correlate with overall survival. @MSKCancerCenter @MSK_DeptOfMed @parkerici. #TCellpower #TCRpower
📢New MS out now, where we pair real-world clinical data from patients at @MSKCancerCenter with HLA zygosity derived from #IMPACT to detect HLA loss and its effect on survival, an increasingly important biomarker in the age of immunotherapies.

Importantly, the data generated involved lots of support including @ChordomaFDN @OSInstitute and others. Many more people are involved. Hopefully, the end result will benefit our patients affected with bone sarcomas. @MDAndersonNews
