Katy Beckermann, Medical Director of GU Clinical Research at Tennessee Oncology shared a post on X:
“Sat in on a sharp panel at NPC 2026 in Nashville with Charles Simone II, J. Isabelle Choi, Robert H. Press, Annemarie Shepherd, and Curtiland Deville on the challenges: trial complexity, funding gaps, and an OS endpoint that may never move in a local therapy trial.
Composite endpoints (DFS + toxicity) capture what protons actually do for patients. And embedding proton arms in photon trials as secondary comparisons are potential practical paths forward in the field.”
