Vivek Subbiah: Designing Clinical Trials for Patients With Rare Cancers

Vivek Subbiah, Chief of Early-Phase Drug Development at the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (USA), shared an article on LinkedIn:

“On Clinical Trials Day thrilled to share our American Society of Clinical Oncology, ASCO Education Handbook article free online version.
“Designing Clinical Trials for Patients With Rare Cancers: Connecting the Zebras”
  • The rare cancer research landscape is rapidly evolving with innovative trial designs and precision medicine approaches.
  • Though rare cancers (<150 cases per million annually) individually uncommon, they collectively represent a significant portion of all cancer diagnoses.
  • Next-gen sequencing has revolutionized this field alongside the development of tumor-agnostic therapies (BRAF/NTRK/RET inhibitors, immunotherapy for MSI-high cancers).
  • Collaborative initiatives & patient centric trials are expanding access.
