FCS Physicians Present Studies in Blood Cancer Research at Hematology Exposition
Fort Myers, Fla., Dec. 20, 2021 – Physicians from Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, LLC (FCS) presented numerous studies on blood cancer research at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition held in Atlanta, Georgia December 9 – 14, 2021. FCS is the leading community-based oncology practice in Florida with clinical trial opportunities made available to patients at 36 locations in the state. This year, several FCS physicians were selected to present the findings from such studies related to malignant and non-malignant hematology at the ASH annual meeting.
As the first author, Medical oncologist Manish R. Patel, MD, presented a study entitled, “A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) Inhibitor PRT543 in Patients with Myeloid Malignancies.” The presentation occurred on December 12, 2021.
The study evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasm of PRT543 when administered at varying schedules. Analysis from the study indicates favorable results, leading to further research evaluating PRT543 as a monotherapy.
Dr. Patel was also involved in seven other presentations while several other FCS physicians presented as co-authors, 14 presentations in total, at the ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition:
