It is with heavy hearts that we share that Dr. Rachna Shroff has passed away. A longtime partner of CCF, she has made tangible differences for patients and their families throughout her career. From being a valued member of our Science and Medical Advisory Board to helping build one of the nation's largest clinical and research programs in biliary tract cancer as a faculty member at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and as an empathetic and expert clinician, she made a difference in every facet. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she brought fun everywhere she went. Whether she was quoting Beyoncé in a talk about clinical trials or getting us to throw our hands during her amazing Bollywood lesson, Rachna made us live in the moment and laugh, even in the hardest of times. Our hearts are with her family and friends in the days ahead and beyond.

Electronic health records and messages have a major impact on physician workload - though often invisible and underestimated. Report @JCOOP_ASCO show that every patient EHR messages leads to ~7 internal in-basket messages. Contribution to burnout? ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-…

1/ I was on the @FDAOncology ODAC for sotorasib, a KRAS G12Ci tested in NSCLC. We voted no, almost unanimously. A year later adagrasib + cetuximab got accelerated approval (AA) for colorectal cancer based on KRYSTAL-1. KRYSTAL-10 was a phase 3 RCT testing that combo and just reported negative findings. Last week adagrasib came off the market. I've already seen this called a failure of accelerated approval (AA). I'd argue the opposite.

Since daraxonrasib's FDA approval, I have enjoyed reading my mentor, Dr. Robert Mayer's words to @CancerHistProj about pancreatic cancer: decades of "swings, misses, foul balls, and finally a direct hit." That's what sustained NCI investment looks like: shorturl.at/sTItt

All of the negative comments about daraxonrasib center around how it’s not a “cure” for pancreatic cancer. For the longest time, we’ve dealt with a substandard therapy-chemotherapy; and watched our patients succumb to this awful disease. On RASolute302- not only did patients live longer and tolerate the therapy better than 2L chemo- they were also more likely to receive subsequent line therapy. That is indeed something to celebrate. Most importantly- this isn’t THE cure we’ve been looking for but this is certainly the dawn of a new era that we’ve all been anticipating for so long. Every therapy has AEs and will need fine tuning and real world experience before it becomes more tolerable for the not-so-fit patients in clinic. Drug pricing is also not an issue unique to this drug-it is a systemic issue that needs addressing on multiple levels. It’s so easy to be an “expert critic” for likes and engagement on social media and so hard to work towards moving the needle forward for patients.

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat, but we are making progress. Recent @theNCI -funded work that sheds light on mechanisms behind #daraxonrasib resistance and could help clinicians choose treatment combos that outsmart pancreatic tumors. go.nih.gov/AcvCu95

Daraxonrasib’s approval also includes patients w/ metastatic pancreatic cancer who “aren’t candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.” I’ve cared for many patients in this category. It’s a wonderful change to be able to offer them an effective therapy. @PanCAN @lustgartenfdn
