The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology will host a free, public webinar on Monday, March 16, 2026, from 1 pm to 2 pm CT showcasing key cancer research from Alliance investigators presented at the 2025 American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) meetings. The virtual meeting will highlight recent clinical advances impacting treatment for people living with breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and leukemia.
“We are excited to raise awareness of the ground-breaking research that Alliance researchers presented at ASH and SABCS,” said Evanthia Galanis, MD, Group Chair of the Alliance, Sandra J. Schulze Professor of Novel Therapeutics and Professor of Oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. “"With the strength of our NCI funding and the momentum from industry collaborations, we’re able to advance discoveries to make meaningful improvements in cancer care."
“Clinical trials conducted by Alliance researchers have meaningfully shaped cancer care, often resulting in new standards of treatment and expanding our knowledge of cancer biology,” said Olwen Hahn, MD, Director and Principal Investigator of the Alliance Central Protocol Operations Program and an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center. “Our panel of investigators will explain how the latest research results are impacting cancer care. We are also proud to have patient advocates join our panel to help explain the significance of the findings for people living with cancer and their loved ones.”
Panelists include:
In addition to the investigators, patient advocates from the Alliance Patient Advocate Committee will join the panel to comment specifically on the importance of each trial and provide insight into the patient’s perspective.
The event is free and open to the public. Register today.
