Program reaches recruitment milestone while bringing novel treatments to community cancer centers

The Woodlands, Texas (April 25, 2017)US Oncology Research, one of the largest community-based oncology research programs in the United States, enrolled more than 2,900 subjects into clinical trials during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The participation of these patients in leading-edge oncology trials for a wide range of cancer types contributed to eight cancer therapies receiving FDA approvals, making promising new treatments available to cancer patients across the nation. Contributing to so many FDA approvals in one fiscal year is unprecedented for US Oncology Research and demonstrates the organization’s strong ongoing commitment to play a vital role in understanding cancer and identifying effective therapies. In total, US Oncology Research has enrolled more than 66,000 patients into clinical trials since its inception in 1992.

“Accruing such a large number of patients in these novel clinical trials is a significant achievement for US Oncology Research, as finding appropriate patients, enrolling them into trials, and managing their complex care is very challenging,” said Michael Seiden, MD, PhD, chief medical officer, US Oncology Research. “These groundbreaking studies lay the foundation for the advancement of cancer care and are crucial to finding new and more effective ways to treat cancer. I am extremely proud of the world-class work done by our research team. Due to their dedication and commitment, patients in communities across the country now have access to some of the most encouraging therapies we have seen in years.”

According to the Cancer Research Institute, only three to six percent of cancer patients who are eligible for clinical trials take part in a study due to a variety of reasons, such as lack of awareness of the trial, difficulty with insurance, misinformation about the care provided during the study, or other concerns. US Oncology Research overcomes these recruitment barriers by employing a proven strategy that utilizes comprehensive models for the large-scale deployment of trials across select cities through affiliated community-based cancer centers.

One recruitment model the organization successfully uses is its Selected Trials for Accelerated Rollout (STAR) method, which contributed greatly to reaching last fiscal year’s 2,900 patient accrual milestone. This program opens and activates clinical trials quickly across all cancer centers affiliated with US Oncology Research. When a potential STAR trial patient is identified at a facility, the practice is trained in the details of the trial, and the study is opened within a two-week timeframe at the location where the patient will be treated.

Another factor that contributed to last year’s record accrual number was the organization’s ability to provide access to a vast number of immuno-oncology (I-O) trials, which comprise approximately one-third of the studies offered through US Oncology Research. Immunotherapy uses the body’s own immune system to help fight cancer. Today’s new I-O therapies have shown high efficacy rates, great tolerability and manageable toxicities. Additionally, some I-O trials have demonstrated durable responses even when therapy stops, suggesting the immune system may still be fighting the cancer even after treatment concludes. These dramatic trial results are generating significant excitement in the general media as well as the cancer community, and consequently, cutting-edge I-O trials―especially those in a community setting―are highly sought after by many patients.

The impact of the work done by US Oncology Research is far reaching, affecting many aspects of cancer care. Drug manufacturers rely on the organization to enroll patients in clinical trials to help bring new therapies to market. Promising new treatments can only become broadly available when safety and efficacy are demonstrated in clinical trials and presented as evidence for FDA approval. These approvals rely upon adequate patient participation in trials. Additionally, US Oncology Research-affiliated practices were able to offer 2,900 patients early access to exciting new therapies. Trial participation also helped these practices gain familiarity and achieve a comfort level with these investigational drugs prior to FDA approval, making post-approval prescribing easier.

“Clinical trials play a vital role in our commitment to provide the world’s most advanced cancer treatments to patients,” said David Smith, MD, director of Research for Compass Oncology and associate chair of the US Oncology Research Lung and Advanced Therapeutics Committees. “Patients being treated at a US Oncology Research-affiliated practice have convenient access to novel, investigational therapies in state-of-the-art cancer centers in communities close to home with their own oncologist directing their care. This supports an optimal outcome while providing a better patient and family experience.”

US Oncology Research recently released a video that highlights the contributions made to the advancement of cancer care.

Affiliation with the largest network of its kind strengthens Southern Cancer Center’s ability to remain independent, providing access to vast resources to enhance care

Mobile, Ala. (February 1, 2017) – Southern Cancer Center, a physician-owned multi-site medical oncology practice serving the Alabama Gulf Coast region, has joined The US Oncology Network (“The Network”). The Network provides strong and comprehensive practice management capabilities and value-based care expertise that are critical for independent practices such as Southern Cancer Center navigating today’s challenging healthcare landscape. The Network is supported by McKesson Specialty Health, an industry leader in solutions that empower the community patient care delivery system to advance the science, technology and quality of care. Southern Cancer Center and The US Oncology Network share a vision of keeping independent physician groups strong and viable, while aiming to improve patient health.

“Our top priority was, is and always will be the health of our patients,” said Michael W. Meshad, M.D., president and founder of Southern Cancer Center. “That’s why joining forces with The US Oncology Network was an easy choice and the right fit for our practice. I, as well as my fellow physicians and care team, can focus on what’s most important, our patients, all while knowing that the health and viability of our practice is being cared for by The Network.

Dr. Debra Patt shared expertise on the event’s Support Services and Survivorship Panel

The Woodlands, Texas (January 11, 2017) — Representatives from McKesson and The US Oncology Network (The Network) were invited to participate in a community oncology event as part of the White House “Making Health Care Better” Series, which highlights progress made in improving the health system over the past eight years. The President’s Health Policy Team collaborated with the Cancer Moonshot program to host the event and put a spotlight on the role and importance of community oncology in cancer care. The event was held on Wednesday, January 11 from 8am to 12pm ET at the White House and was only open to invited attendees.

Debra Patt, MD, MPH, MBA, vice president of Public Policy and Academic Affairs at Texas Oncology and chair of The US Oncology Network Pathways Taskforce for Breast Cancer, participated in the event’s Support Services and Survivorship Panel.

“This was an exciting opportunity to collaborate with others who are passionate about improving healthcare as well as showcase the importance of community cancer care,” said Dr. Patt. “Most cancer care occurs in the community setting, and many patients can receive state-of-the-art care in their home towns, including access to clinical trials. This allows patients to be treated in and supported by their communities. Additionally, research shows that outpatient services cost significantly more when provided in the outpatient hospital setting without any meaningful improvement in quality of care or health outcomes. This is one of many reasons healthcare stakeholders must continue events like this and learn about progress and innovation in community cancer care.”

The event focused on improving innovation and access to quality cancer care in the community setting and featured panels to explore the unique aspects of community oncology, including cancer disparities, survivorship and support services, advancing clinical trials and innovative models of care delivery in the community setting, and the future of healthcare for people affected by cancer.

Representatives from McKesson and The US Oncology Network invited to attend the event include:

  • Ben Jones, vice president, Government Relations & Public Policy, McKesson
  • Diana Verrilli, senior vice president, Payer and Practice Management Solutions, McKesson
  • Nicholas J. Robert, MD, medical director, Health Economic Outcomes Research and Health Informatics, McKesson and The US Oncology Network
  • Debra Patt, MD, MPH, MBA, vice president of Public Policy and Academic Affairs at Texas Oncology and chair of The US Oncology Network Pathways Taskforce for Breast Cancer
  • R. Steven Paulson, MD, president of Texas Oncology, a practice in The US Oncology Network
  • Alex Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, director of the Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute and chair of The US Oncology Network Pathways Taskforce for Lung Cancer
  • Sandy Smith, senior director, Site Services, US Oncology Research and McKesson

To continue the conversation around community oncology, immediately following the event McKesson and The US Oncology Network are hosting a Hill briefing in collaboration with the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC), American Cancer Society-Cancer Action Network, Cancer Support Community, Community Oncology Alliance (COA) and Sarah Cannon. Key members of Congress plan to attend the briefing including Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI).

“McKesson is committed to working with all stakeholders across the healthcare system to strengthen care as we are all in this together,” said Nick Loporcaro, president, McKesson. “Being invited to the White House ‘Making Health Care Better’ Series is a testament to the leading role McKesson and The US Oncology Network are playing in the industry. Our people and their expertise and dedication help drive the movement of improving and sustaining specialty care in the community setting.”

15th Annual Science Forum promotes clinical research education, innovation and collaboration

The Woodlands, Texas (December 8, 2016)US Oncology Research held its 15th Annual Science Forum earlier this fall. The annual meeting for all US Oncology Research affiliated investigators was held in Dallas and highlighted the importance of clinical trials as a treatment option for cancer patients.

“A clinical trial saved my life,” said Rhonda Jenkins, breast cancer survivor, clinical trial participant and patient of Texas Oncology, an affiliate of US Oncology Research.

Jenkins shared her story with the hundreds of clinical attendees, including investigators and research coordinators. “The best advice I can give to patients is to not turn down a clinical trial if one is available. I received a terminal diagnosis eleven years ago. Because of a trial, I have my life back. I no longer consider myself as having a terminal disease. Plus, participating in a trial allowed me to play a part in hopefully helping future patients fight this disease,” added Jenkins.

The Annual Science Forum allows research investigators to discuss and exchange thoughts on the latest scientific approaches and novel treatment strategies. Topics of discussion included: immunotherapy; the oncology care model; early phase trials; proton therapy; genomics; precision medicine; and much more.

“This Forum represents an important form of education for all of us in the cutting-edge, ongoing work in basic and clinical research against cancer,” said Daniel Von Hoff, MD, FACP, chief scientific officer, US Oncology Research. “It helps our team craft strategies for the best way to help our patients.”

One strategy used by US Oncology Research is its Selected Trials for Accelerated Rollout, or STAR, method. This program quickly opens clinical trials for difficult-to-find patients. When a potential STAR trial patient has been identified, the practice is trained and the study is opened within a two-week timeframe at the location where the patient is expected to be seen. Ultimately, STAR provides the latest in clinical research to the practice where the patient has been identified.

“We are truly delivering tomorrow’s treatments today,” said Michael Seiden, MD, chief medical officer, The US Oncology Network and McKesson Specialty Health. “The Annual Science Forum brings together the leadership of US Oncology Research as we both celebrate our accomplishments and look forward to building an even stronger culture of research across our national network of affiliated physicians and research staff.”

During the Forum, investigators convened to hear from world renowned speakers on topics and trends in oncology research. The purpose is to continue to be at the cutting edge of research and provide patients in the community setting access to the latest treatments. Roy Herbst, MD, PhD, chief of Medical Oncology and associate director for Translational Research at Yale Cancer Center, was a keynote speaker at the Forum and spoke about novel therapies for lung cancer, including targeted and immuno-therapies.

“Collaborating with research investigators across the country on the most recent trends in oncology treatment is extremely important,” said Dr. Herbst. “It is our responsibility as researchers and providers to constantly be in search for the latest and most effective treatment options to improve efficacy and decrease toxicity. It was an honor to be among such passionate and dedicated clinicians and researchers.”

“This year’s Annual Science Forum really put a charge into our passion for clinical research,” said David Cosgrove, MD, oncologist with Compass Oncology and associate chair of the US Oncology Research Gastrointestinal (GI) Committee. “We heard from impressive speakers involved in cutting-edge science, highlighted recent successes in our field and got great perspective regarding patient communication. The Forum highlighted some of the challenges we will face in clinical research in a community oncology setting in the years ahead, and also provided a robust framework for future success building upon the US Oncology Research model that leads the way in these endeavors. I am excited to be part of this group moving forward.”

Denver, Colo. (November 15, 2016) – Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers (RMCC), a practice in The US Oncology Network, is the first in the Rocky Mountain region, and one of only a handful of sites in the United States, to offer the newly approved Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the test. Marketed under the name Netspot™, gallium 68 DOTATATE is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Because the gallium DOTATATE binds strongly to the receptors of neuroendocrine tumor cells, it effectively detects tumors and metastases, not seen on other standard scans, and reveals the locations of tumors.

The Ga-68 DOTATATE scan allows surgeons to pinpoint the precise location of tumors before beginning surgery. RMCC neuroendocrine tumor surgeon, and internationally recognized disease expert, Eric Liu, MD, FACS, was instrumental in research that led to the approval of the gallium diagnostic test. “The information is critical for me to do the best possible surgery for patients,” Dr. Liu noted.

Nearly 10,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with NETs each year. The tumors are slow-growing but very likely to spread. They primarily affect abdominal and respiratory organs, including the stomach, pancreas, intestines, and lungs. The condition historically has been difficult to diagnose, and the cancer is not well recognized or understood across the medical community.

“The key to effective treatment of a rare cancer like neuroendocrine is accurate diagnosis,” says Allen Cohn, MD, co-director of Medical Services of The Neuroendocrine Institute at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers. “The level of detail provided by the Ga-68 DOTATATE scan allows us to more accurately stage the disease. We can then provide our patients with a treatment regimen aimed at helping them achieve better outcomes.”

In addition to surgery, other treatment options for NETs include hormone therapy, radiation, and other interventions. The Netspot Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT is available at the Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers Midtown location, centrally located near downtown Denver.
