Shocking data 🤯 Effect size is huge, way larger than expected Urgent to seek reproduction/validation of the finding in further studies, given the potential implications on clinical practice and clinical trials (across oncology fields)
This is a major story from #ASCO25. Randomized phase 3 trial of time of day of immunotherapy infusion. Randomized to infusion before or after 3pm. Early infusion far superior: PFS 11.3 vs 5.7 HR 0.42, OS HR 0.45! Impactful, pragmatic, not costly. This should be a bigger story.
