The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), one of ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper)A’s cornerstone women’s health programs, is an important resource for its thousands of members across the country. Through its online resources and network of chapters across the U.S., NCCC offers women, family members and caregivers information and support on issues related to cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that can lead to cervical cancer. There is a tremendous need to develop new treatment options for cervical cancer, especially for patients that do not yield optimal results from conventional surgery and radiation.
ASHA and NCCC’s goal to educate cancer patients perfectly aligns with Massive Bio’s mission to connect patients with cutting edge medical research appropriate for their case. Many cancer patients are unaware of the opportunity that clinical trials can offer. Massive Bio provides an innovative platform that will benefit NCCC and other patient stakeholders. This is achieved by connecting patients to specific, tailored clinical trial treatment options that are not widely available or known. When the public comes to ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper)A and NCCC, the expectation is to find trusted solutions that work. Massive Bio will uphold these standards by offering transparent and effective solutions presented by our team of patient advocates and nurses.
"Through our cherished NCCC initiative we are pleased to collaborate with Massive Bio to help meet this important women’s health need through promoting cervical cancer research opportunities in our channels and on our platforms. Our desire is to make a broad, diverse group of patients and stakeholders aware of the clinical trials process along with studies in which they may have interest in taking part. We look forward to working with Massive Bio to help patients find clinical trials for cervical cancer therapies for which they are a good match. As part of this, we also place a premium on providing patients and caregivers a broad array of advocacy and support services as they navigate their cancer journey," said Lynn Barclay, President and CEO of ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper)A.
"Through this partnership, ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper)A and NCCC will be able to give cervical cancer patients the opportunity to utilize Massive Bio’s cutting-edge AI powered end-to-end clinical trial matching platform and SYNERGY-AI Registry. In addition, we support patients throughout their journey for successful enrollment. Massive Bio is always looking for new ways to help cancer patients gain access to the best treatment options available and we are very excited for the opportunity to partner with ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper)A and NCCC," said Selin Kurnaz, PhD., Co-founder and CEO of Massive Bio.
